There is a 70 442 / w-30 on e bay for under a grand! It is beat to a pulp...

No, it is not for sale for under $1k. "Reserve is not met".
Yes, it is beat to death.

Holy rustbucket Batman!

Who cares about the engine? I want to see the frame. The rust stains on the driveway are a red flag, it may have rust stalagtites and mites under there.
Not a bad deal, somebody will buy it for the VIN and title if it's that trashed, has a lot of good parts. It's a high buck car and anything can be restored, jack up the VIN tag and slide another body and frame under it.

That thing is in good shape by Chicago standards.

I wish you hadn't said that. Besides being illegal and immoral, its just not right. Doing that does *not* save a car, that car is dead. Period. It's not a ship that you transfer a flag from.
We've already seen enough of that crap going on, and it has only one name: FRAUD.
Sorry, I don't even like joking about it.

It pains me to see such a collectable car in that bad of shape

Is that kitty litter where the passengers bucket used to be?

Ten bucks says it's relisted by the original seller within two weeks.

It's no joke and it is very common and depending how things are done it may not be illegal. I'm sure it will be done to that olds. It's just the way it is.
Just as in any hobby dealing with valuable items, The big shots that can afford them need to do their home work before they buy, We know a car with complete history would be the safest bet. I saw cars at Barret Jackson that looked very suspicious and were probably frauds but it seems the buyers didn't care as long as the next guy didn't care either. I don't think I ever heard it mentioned during any auctions I witnessed.
If gas hits $5.00 or $10.00 a gallon a 1970 W30 olds will make a great lawn ornament or playground equipment for the kids.

Probably right Joe.
Quick question: wasn't the W30 only available with a 455 from 1970-1972? That looks like a 350 under the hood.

I wasn't but a kid, but according to my dad (when I basically asked the same thing) these things were just used cars. Not overly desireable ones for a bit there during the gas crunch. I have heard about used car lots taking hoods and spoilers off Gsx's and such and replacing sheet metal with basic stuff and than selling muscle cars as base models. My dad told me about the local race track...Some guy was running an LS6 70 SS chevelle on grudge night on a clay track in the early mid 70's

. He was running a 69 tempest with a big block and factory 4 spd

. My how times have changed.

That car seriously went for that much, that means the the one I'm getting for 200 is a steal, but the difference is the rear quarters are shot and the is good lol
