Re: Are 72 Olds W30s that valuable??
All 72 W30 cars were built in Lansing MI and they dod not get build sheets put in them by the factory so unless it has original purchase papers its hard to tell.

Don't all the 442's have red fenders inside the engine compartment? Also the sticker on the inside drivers door jam looks like it was removed and glued back on?

Only the W30's have the red inner fender wells; standard 442's do not have them. |

Re: Are 72 Olds W30s that valuable??
Only the first handful of 1972 W-30s produced received the red fender wells. The vast majority of '72s did not recieve them. Also as stated prior the VIN of a '72 bearing an "X" for the engine code will authenticate the W-30 engine option, available only with the 442.
Build sheets in a W-Machine are very rare, but some have been found. They are not like the Chevy sheets, they are the size of a broad cast card, and known as line sheets, but do show most of the options as well as the coveted 4 speed option, NOT shown on broadcast cards. |

The only Cutlass Supreme coupe that received the X code engine was the HO Pace car. There are not many of those.
