442 W30 ?

[jeff morocco]

I was at my friends auto repair shop in Iowa this week. I saw some sort of gold engine on a shelf in the shop. He told me its for a 442 W30 car which is out back on a boat trailer. A customer of his is restoring it he says. He started 10 years ago and thats how it sits. I was able to get a few pictures for you guys to see. I know diddily squat about 442's. so here ya go....











heres the motor,intake and exhaust manifolds



apparently the "D" means something...it also has a "D" stamped somewhere near the top of the cylinders.



all the parts are originals off the car including the Olds rear,sway bars and factory boxed control arms , still with the GM stickers on them.





Thats all i was able to get...The dual scoop hood and red inner fender wells are in the attic of the shop. Or so i was told.
