Still available, it did not sell at auction.

How much did it bid up to, if you don't mind me asking?

Stefano
03-05-2013, 09:38 PM
$75.000.00 was the high bid across the block.

Now on eBay.

1970 W30 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oldsmobile-442-1970-oldsmobile-w-30-4-speed-numbers-matching-documented-original-miles-/271159308290?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&amp;hash=item3f225ab002 )

Note:

The second owner of this W-30 saw this eBay listing and contacted us. Very nice gentleman and also a very avid Oldsmobile enthusiast.

He confirmed that he purchased the car from the original owner with approx 20,000 miles and sold it to a collector/friend with less than 30,000 in the late 1980s.

He was also able to fill us in on the complete History since it was sitting on the showroom floor in Canada.

Stefano
12-04-2013, 09:37 PM
Just recently got off the phone with the Original owner : )

Owner #3 from Canada saw the W-30 on eBay and contacted us a while back. He identified himself as owner #2, but was actually owner #3. He bought the car from owner #2 with only approx 20,000 miles on the odometer in 1984 for $8,400.00. He had the foresight to contact the Original owner and ask for additional info and/or documentation.

The Original owner had a picture of the car from when recently purchased as well as the Dealer Shipping Invoice......similar info to a Window Sticker.

The Original owner was a mechanic for the Car dealership where he bought the car and while he did have a Black White Stripe White Interior SS 396 Chevelle on order, the GM of the dealership wanted the First '70 W-30 they had received cruising the streets of Oshawa, so he cut the employee a deal in order to induce him to buy the car.

The Original owner said that he hardly ever drove it. Drove his motorcycle to work most days and truck in bad weather.

I asked him if he ever raced it and he said NO, but that he did get on it (literally) once or twice.

Wow, what a fantastic car.

Real Deal, got to love Canadian cars. (some are well documented rust buckets but not this beauty)

Ryan

PS: Did you ask about the Black, white stripe, white interior Chevelle? (probably a 1970) I had to ask.

Yes it was a '70 which he had ordered. He said that he would see it Cruising around the Oshawa area for many years, but did not know what had happened to it.

While it was repainted in the 80s, the car is very solid as none of the owners used it as a daily driver.

12-06-2013, 04:44 PM
You know Stefano, this car is a &quot;KILLER&quot; in so many ways and has yet to find a new owner. Kinda reminds me of the '69 W-31 you offered and sold. Sometimes people don't know a deal when it is staring them in the face. I almost bought that W-31 just so I could say &quot;I told ya so!&quot; Sooner or later the stars will align for you, my friend, and when they do you and the buyer will both be happy.

Nice looking car..... For us (me) non Olds guys, what exactly was the W30 package and how did it relate (if at all) to the 442 package?

<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif Never did understand that and never asked until now.

:) Never did understand that and never asked until now.

Rich A W-30 is the Chevelle equivalent of a a LS6.

Stefano
12-07-2013, 04:31 PM
That is a good question.

The W-30 Factory coded option started as a performance option added to the 442 in 1966 where only 54 were produced to Homologate the car for Drag Racing.

This was Oldsmobile's Factory Race Car.

So all W-30s have to be 442s first and all were built at the same plant in Lansing Michigan.

The basis for the Performance Part of the Pkg was Forced Air Induction system and the necessary parts to support it or &quot;outside-air induction&quot; system as Olds called it.

The W-30 evolved into the ultimate Olds performance/appearance Package.

Stefano
12-07-2013, 04:58 PM
So, in the case of the 1970 W-30 you got some mandatory options over and above a 442.

The W-30s were &quot;select fit&quot; factory blue printed 455 engine. Weights and clearence were checked and components were grouped and batched together for assembly.

Carb.
Dist.
Rear.

Had W-30 codes and specific part numbers.

Aluminum Intake

Special Heads

328 degree Cam (Only with 4 speed) manual disk brakes only

Dual sport mirrors

Red inner fender wells

Mandatory W-25 special OAI hood.

Less body and sound insulation was used as compared to a std 442.

The cams are so lopy on a 4 speed W-30 that some original owners as well as dealers thought the cars had issues.

I was just having a conversation about W-30s and values and this car was brought up.

It seems that many people today look to the auction results and or value guides which are mostly a compilation of auction results. This may not always be a good value indicator for extra special cars.

One of the reasons you see a big variance in prices of the W-Machines is that they are sometimes very difficult to document. A broadcast card can help to verify a true W-30, as it is only tied to the trim tag / body number, and it will NOT verify that the car was the more desirable and rare 4 speed.

The W-Machines which have bullet proof documentation along with the other essentials tend to fetch, much more than the average &quot;auction&quot; car.

Just kidding, bottom line, this car needs to be in Stefano's hands, he really never wanted to sell it, so we made a deal to get it back to him ...... hopefully he will sell it back to me after he restores it : )

Stefano
07-04-2015, 12:40 AM
The Car is on the Market / For sale. It is priced at $95,000.00 with the Iron 12 bolt rear and 3.91 posi or $110,000.00 with the Aluminum W27 3.91 rear.

If you have any other questions, please PM or email [email protected] and I'll do the best I can to answer them.

I bought the car back from Scott, because after a year of searching, I could not find a better W30 with undisputed proof of all the options, especially the coveted 4 speed and the original engine and Trans.

A couple of real nice survivors surfaced, but the Black on white is much more my preference than the earth tones.

The only way I could get them to restore it in 12 months was to transfer temporary ownership. Every time I get a car back from Kenny and Scott it's more better, than before.

Thus far all prior owners of the car have agreed to be at MCACN VIII for the unveiling, but for two I have yet to reach out to.
