Default Enjoying my 70 W30

My car is an auto, air, gauge car with 35K miles, original paint. Not a perfect car but an honest car. I have been driving it to work, and around town. I have come to the realization that having a nice auto car with air is really enjoyable, even in our quest for high HP muscle cars. Just super enjoyable. The AM radio works well and I can listen to sports radio or whatever else. Don't get me wrong, I love my high winding solid lifter cars, but man this is the "gentleman's muscle car".
I was told by members here when I bought this car I would really enjoy it, and the commentary was dead on. Make me wonder what the 70 Stage 1 cars are like??
I now know why my Dad drove Olds back in the day

Oh, there is the tire shredding torque that does not suck either

I love Oldsmobile's and the 442's, especially the automatic version. Can you refresh us with a current picture?

That’s awesome, Lawrence!! Looking forward to seeing it there. Don’t you worry...plenty of CLT overnights for me ahead. And we have a Chevelle to chat about!

Cheers

Kool W-30. Only 262 post W-30s in 1970! Is this the one that Hendrix had? Looking forward to seeing it in person at MCACN.

The 1970 to 1972 version of the 442 is just beautiful.
