1970 W31 Hiberbating 34 years!
 

This W31 was hibernating for 34 years in the original owners basement. A post on an Olds message board lead the new owner to this treasure. A loaded car built to go fast with 433's!!!

very cool!

Thanks, folks. I'm just over a year in to the frame off restoration. Plan is to have the car ready for MCACN in the fall.

One of my first cars back in 1978 was a '70 w31. The lighter blue w/blk buckets, 4sp. The original owner drove it in winter, and it didn't take long for the rust be hide all 4 tires. Other than that, it was babied, and for $750, with only 54k mi...man, what a nice car. Neighbor- word of mouth, good deal.

4.33's are crazy... my buddies 70 Judge conv has M21 and 4.33's - 85-90 MPH puts it in the red.

car was known about 20 years ago,but owner wouldnt sell at the time.
same guy who found it also found the Chesrown Ram Rod raced by Ron Garey.

Tweed Vorhees found the Ron Garey RamRod. This car was found by Jimmy M.
as far as I know…
