Re: 72 olds w-30
With or without air conditioning? Hope your buddy is hoping on bringing it back and enjoying it!

Re: 72 olds w-30
Your numbers are a little off . . .
The option was made available on the Cutlass hardtop, Cutlass S sport coupe, Cutlass S hardtop, and Cutlass Supreme ragtop. So those 920 (assuming that's the right answer for non-ragtops) were both hardtops and post coupes. Going from memory, 17 were Cutlass hardtops and 19 were Cutlass S sport coupes. The rest were Cutlass S hardtops. PS> You should know better!

I was going from the number I had on a show car sign when I owned a 72 w-30. The 920 number may have only been the Cutlass S hardtops and may have excluded the post coupe and Cutlass hardtop. PS Air Conditioning could not be ordered on a 72 W-30 and you could't get a w-30 in California.

Re: 72 olds w-30
Air Conditioning could not be ordered on a 72 W-30 X code? I didn't know that, you sound as if you know about 442's. This is the only year this option was not available with AC if your information is correct.

Re: 72 olds w-30
In 1970-71, automatic W-30s could get AC, but not on the sticks due to the cam. No idea why they didn't substitute a milder cam like Pontiac did.
I thought the trend was the same for '72, but apparently not!

Re: 72 olds w-30
I just talked to the owner and it doesn't have air. It is 455 w-30 has fiberglass hood. Never been worked on, 90,000 miles, said it is a cutlass s. What would this car be worth??? Gold with black buckets auto on the floor. Some rust but runs fine.
