It wasn't easy, but I managed to convert the photos into a jpg format to post them (no I'm not a computer guy).
Here are a few of Stefano's pics...

What a gorgeous car and color!

If the future owner wants a nice compliment, I'll sell my Carolina Blue survivor for the same price to make a perfect bookend...

Thanks for the help. Still working on it on this end.

Documented, one of only 96, 4 speed, W30 Convertibles built in 1970.

[VintageMusclecar]

OMG....that Olds is incredible. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

[Stefano]

Fixed!

Clean car!...Azure Blue in this case

[67 442]

Is this the car you worked on Patton?

[70post]

Yes - this one looks familiar! :)

[67 442]

Then this has the famous gas tank pad that is the buzz of the car world.

[olredalert]

----You cant make a statement like that without a bit more info, ya know! Apparently, it wasnt the entire car world. No buzzing going on up here in Marine City, MI.......Bill S

[Stefano]

My decoder ring isn't working. What are you guys talking about? You can't even see the gas tank pad?

[70post]

Man - We're all getting old and it's getting harder to see stuff but...IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE PICS (ALL CAPS FOR THE &quot;HARD OF SEEING&quot; :)

That would be Gas Tank Pad #1!!! It did its job at the OCA Nats

I have more pics showing that one but can't seem to get any loaded on this site...anyway, it's not my ad....it's Stefano's.

[70post]

4th pic down. Nice pics, BTW, of a cool car.

[Stefano]

My point is that it's under the car and on top of the gas tank. The majority of it is not visible. What's the big deal?

[DW31S]

Is that Diego's old car?

[Canuck]

Not Diegos, I think this is/was owned by Tom Lembeck of Chicago.

[rich p]

Still does own it!! cool car!

[Stefano]

W30 is sold pending payment.

[stritestoration]

I've used 3 of the famous gas tank pads! None better.

No, mine is white. You can read about it here:

[DW31S]

I just got a link today from my buddy Ron McHugh on a special collection at this year's MCACN. At the risk of someone thinking I'm &quot;hijacking&quot; this thread, please let me finish----the link was to the &quot;Documented W-30 Convertible 4-Speeds&quot; to be shown together this coming November. I can only imagine such a showing!!! Ron's car will be in attendance along with the car formerly belonging to Lee Pearl, and several others including at least one unrestored original. Will the car discussed in this thread be at that show? I certainly would think that if Stefano is associated with it, the documentation has to be bullet-proof. Stefano's reputation, as far as I know, is extremely reliable and well respected in this hobby. I have yet to hear anything to the contrary regarding him, his cars, and/or his descriptions of the cars he has to offer. This car would seem to be a &quot;shoe-in&quot; for the special collection should the new owner be interested in displaying his recently acquired purchase. Or, perhaps Stefano could show the car on the new owner's behalf if he/she decides to remain anonymous.
I was just telling my wife today about this year's show and this GREAT collection of amazing Oldsmobiles......Once again, however, the show falls on the same weekend as our (my wife and myself) annual Caribbean Cruise. I have explained in several other threads that my wife is ABSOLUTELY the BEST, and she is SO GOOD about my &quot;Muscle Car Habit&quot;, that I couldn't bring myself to ask her to change our yearly tropical vacation so that I may attend yet another car event.
I would be interested in knowing the production stats regarding the car discussed here. I'm betting it to be a &quot;1 of 1&quot;. The Azure Blue is quite rare in itself, and combining it with the W-30 package AND the convertible, AND the 4-speed has to make it pretty special.
What a car!!!

[Stefano]

Dave,

Thanks for the &quot;Kind&quot; words.

This W-30 is one of the 96 built. The car and the owner have been invited to the W-Machine display at MCACN.

[Stefano]

This W-30 is back on the market.

The buyer changed his mind.

[442w30]

Ugh . . . sorry to hear that.

[DW31S]

Sorry to hear you lost the sale Stefano. I am a believer in fate and &quot;What's meant to be is what's meant to be&quot;. You have an awesome car there, and maybe someone will fall in love at the MCACN. Good luck!!!

Please note the pink Virginia state inspection form does not belong to this W-30.

Also please see the Original Window sticker to the recently found Black 4 speed Convertible, built after this early car, wherein the dealer Invoice price of options closely match.


Specifically The W-30 option @ $321.23 and the 4 speed M21 @ $184.80

With only 96 ever produced and only approx 23 considered to be the real deal, no issues, no questions, W-30s are difficult to find.

Also noted is that there was a period of time wherein all the broadcast/build cards did not recieve the W30 call out. This has been confirmed on other documented W30s.
