Very cool car indeed

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

Good job on getting that one bought, Stefano. I like the fact that you jumped when everyone else wondered. The car seems to have been a factory ordered unit as no dealer would order those options on that model for inventory. Wish I'd have never sold my last post Olds ('72 U code with a W25 hood), as these cars are extremely rare and peculiar in a good way. Please keep us "posted" on the resurrection. Good job!!!

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

I just saw a set of SSl wheels for sale and now can't remember where. I have s complete set of original paint SSll that are nice survivor quality but wrong date code if you have any interest. Judging from the pics, all the salty stuff is there. I can see a hood, intake, breather, W-27, how about the carb. and alternator?

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

It came with 4 original SSIs as well as all correct W-30/455 components which appear original to the car.

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

just saw this not too long ago for sale? what's the intent now?

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

We are just having some fun at the evaluation and authentication stage. I believe the W-30 should be restored, just not certain that we are going to be the ones to do it.

What do you think?

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

Too bad the original hood wasn't in tact. I think the paint would take to a buff and spot in the primer and you almost could have had a cool survivor. It is worthy of a restore though id prefer it with no ac but its neat nonetheless. If I had the green 71 sold id consider this as a project provided its for sale someday.

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

I thought about the Rat-Rod W-30 thing for now. It has a lot of originality to it, other than the rust and hood and maintenance items it seems that very much of it is original and largely undisturbed.

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

Looks like it ran a bit rich last time it was running circa 1987

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Post

W-30 is SOLD. Going to be restored and planned to display at a future MCACN show.
