1970 W30 Coupe from Canada

[HO455]

Sending a big congratulations RST on acquiring Stefano’s 1970 442 W-30. I saw the car a couple years back at the Mecum Auction in St Charles. The car was awesome with such a great color combination and no question about its authenticity. I am very glad it will receive a full concours restoration. It truly deserves it. There was a large crowd around it when it was leaving. It sounded like a monster!

Your collection is phenomenal. I love your 1972 W-30 post coupe and 1969 W-30. Thanks for sharing the great photos! I am looking forward to seeing the black &amp; white 1970 W-30 when it is completed. Thanks again! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Thank you very much, we will do our very best to make it right and perfect! Now all I need is a Black 71 and my Olds collection as well as my &quot;Back in Black&quot; collection will be complete.....although a Black W31 of any year would be nice [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, and by the time you have it restored you will have only emptied your wallet of about half-a-million $$$ or more. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I wouldn't restore it. Just leave as is.

You would restore a car like that?

NO, it is an awesome car just as it is, but I would imagine that someone with a lot of money might want the rarest &amp; most perfect black W-30 convertible four-speed and completely concours restore it. The Kryta Brothers come to mind. Did you all also see the other original Matador red W-30 convertible four-speed that was on E-bay? That one I believe just recently sold. Both very cool cars for sure!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

----I missed that red W30 (right out of the original owners daughters garage) by hours because the guy that found it had a partner that sold it out from under him......Oh well.
----I will say that whoever massaged the car to its present state did one hell of a job!!!......Bill S
