1970 Oldsmobile W-31 Canadian delivered car
 

Hi sYc Friends, the Father In Law of a very good high school friend of mine is selling his car back in Ontario, Canada; the link to the ad is:

https://www.autotrader.ca

I don't personally know the seller, nor have I ever seen the car.

I'm just passing this along in case anyone here might be interested and to cast a wider net for him as it were.

I have nothing to do with this car beyond this nudge.

Below is the text of his ad and a photo FYI, his contact info and more photos are in the ad linked above. Price is likely CDN. He also likely has the GM VVS doc from George, but I don't know for sure.

Cheers all,
Anthony

Anthony, do you know if the price is Canadian or U.S. dollars?

Jeff

11.75:1 compression?

That’s a hot little motor!

Hi Jeff, yes, Canadian (CDN) - I should've spelled it out above. Sorry.

Anthony

Hi Jon, all I was told was "engine was professionally rebuilt (and blueprinted) and compression is (still) factory rated."

A further question for the seller.

I'm posting his contact email below.

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi all,

When you contact him, let him know you saw Anthony's post about it on Yenko.com or sYc; he's getting some scammers already from the Autotrader ad...

Cheers all,
Anthony

W-31..
 

The 70 version had a 10.5 to 1 compression ratio...a slight bump form 69.

I think that is incorrect.

As far as I know 68-69-70 all were advertised at 10.5 to 1
