W30's.. Help needed.

**MosportGreen66** · #1 10-09-2006, 12:37 AM

What do you guy think about this W30?
How much are they worth done?
How much are good condition survivors worth?
What is this car missing?
Could any point me in the direction of an Old's wesbite?

Thanks.

Take a deep breath Dan....
I seem to recall an original owner blue 442 '70 or '71--that went to maybe $75k/85k last year??--in pristine condition
I'm sure the market has crept up a bit since then----
This looks like a :cool project W-30 ---Depends what his reserve is--Engine work/mildew/paint etc..adds up--you know the drill........Try classicoldsmobile.com

You might try this site....

Legendary Motor Car has had one sitting for a few months. They want upper 60's for theirs. Happy Days dealer has had one for a number of months. Price has been reduced recently to upper 50's. Documentation is key.

The 442.com site is not a great source of accurate info.

Sounds like a starter project. Good material to work with, but it looks like it might be a high starting price. I would say for a car like that-- $20-25K. I saw the W-car that Happy Dayz has at the Mecum auction last winter in Kansas City. Nice car, original paint, correct and numbers matching, a lot of docs, local car, replacement fender on passenger side. I would try for that car and throw the lure in the shallow end. See if they nibble!

If anyone knows these cars well and has a moment to talk/educate...
I'd be more than willing to sit through the tech session...

Thanks.

Lorne and Rusty,

I cannot thank you enough for your time, generosity and shared knowledge. I have a new found understanding for these Olds cars.
When I bring one home, I know it will not be without the help of you two. This is what the hobby is about!

Thank you!

-Dan

Don't mention it.

Good luck in your search!
