Default 1970 Olds W-30 4 speed Holiday Coupe

1970 Oldsmobile W-30, 4 speed, Holiday Coupe

Total production of all W-30s in 1970 is 3,100 vehicles.

Only 1,032 Holiday Coupes were equipped with 4 speeds from the Factory.

It has been estimated that less than 25% of the 4 speed cars exist today with original engines,transmissions and documentation to prove the 4 speed status.

A broadcast card can prove W-30 option status, color and some options, but will NOT prove 4 speed transmission. You need, a window sticker, line sheet or GM of Canada docs, etc

A 4 speed W-30 is extra special in the OLDS/Muscle car world in that it used a unique long duration 328 degree cam shaft (No a/c or power brakes available) which made more power. This is what helps provide the W-30 that unmistakable chop and lope.

This is unique with OLDS for 1970, in that other Top tier / max efforts Muscle Cars generally had the same engine / cam whether automatic or manual. The Hemi, Stage I, RAIV, LS6, SCJ, AMX etc all used the same camshaft/engine regardless of transmission. In some cases the autos could be quicker car, but not with OLDS and the extra power it produced.

While it is known that the stated 370hp for both the auto and manual were underrated as similar auto cam profile Olds/455s had been rated at 400hp prior, The big cam made more hp at the top end.

Here is one of the few known to exist 4 speeds with documentation and all original drive train as well as an established provenance.

Based on our research, We believe that that this W-30 may have only had three prior owners.

The family we obtained the car from had owned it for approx 22 years.

The car is from Oregon so it is dry and solid with all original GM metal.

It is an original Silver car with, Black stripes and black bucket seat interior and one repaint.

It is a no console car, sport wheel and 3.42 posi

It shows under 16,000 miles and was sold to the previous owners as original miles. They did not dive it much during the 22 years they owned it.

The original numbers matching engine and trans will be freshened and detailed with new clutch and Gardner exhaust as well as fresh and safe Goodyear tires.

Mr. Stephen Minore has also inspected this W-30 and issued his Rocket Report certificate of authenticity.

Price is $110,000.00.

All the pics I have are from the day after I got it home and took it on an extended test drive, prior to any cleaning or detailing. My computer files were hacked and are being held hostage for $3,000.00......so the hackers have the more recent pics.

I believe this is my friend Dean Cardella’s old Oldsmobile 442 W-30 4spd coupe. He was the second owner and found it in Oregon when he originally purchased the car. Dean was a longtime Oldsmobile collector. It was an incredible car. Dean said it was the fastest car he ever owned. Here are a few pictures that I have of the car while Dean was the owner. I believe some of the pictures are from when Dean had it at the “World of Wheels&quot;car show in Chicago. Very cool find Stefano - I always loved this car! John

Yes, I believe this was Dean's W-30. The prior owner I got the car from Hit a Jack-Pot / Slots in Vegas and sought out the best W-30 he could find at the time. Do you know how I can contact Dean? I had met him a few times over the years. Also, how old are the pics you posted?

Hey Pete… Thank so much for posting the pictures. I don’t post that often on the board. So I am not sure exactly what I am doing wrong. The pictures showed correctly in the preview but not in the actual post. Thank again…I really appreciate your posting the photos.

Stefano …I will E-mail you the last contact information that I had for Dean. However, I haven’t spoken with him for several years now. I know Dean sold the car at Volo probably in the early 1990’s This was probably one of my favorites of all of Dean’s W-30’s over the years. Thanks again! John
