This car's history: Bill Austin, a salesman at FarnsworthOldsmobile in Plainwell MI, was a drag racing enthusiast. In thesummer of 1969, he special ordered this no frills, stripped downF-85 with the W-31 performance package. A gentleman named WilliamCool walked in the showroom and fell in love with this car. On July7th, 1969, he was its new proud owner. He owned it until 1984 whenStephen Hanner, an Olds enthusiast talked Mr. Cool into selling himthe car. Mr. Hanner owned it until 2008 when Mr. Bakanec bought thecar and started the concourse restoration. I happen to know Mr.Bakanec from my days being a member of the Olds club, he has donesome top-notch restorations on some rare 442s. In 2010 it waspurchased by the gentleman I acquired the car from. He finished therestoration, had it judged and kept meticulous care of the car. Nowit's your turn to be a part of this car's history! EXTERIOR: The exterior of this car is something special!
