Not mine.


Very interesting looking W-27.

The formula cooked up by Dr. Oldsmobile was simple but devastatingly effective: take the new 455 big-block V-8, stuff it with a beefy bottom end and a radical high-lift, high-duration cam, and balance and blueprint it. Top it with big-valve heads and a special large-bore Quadrajet 4-barrel carb, then wrap it up in a handsome body with a luxurious cabin and road-ready underpinnings. Finally, open up the hood so it can breathe lots of fresh air, and then hit the road in this snarling beauty known as the W-30.

That was the theme in 1970 when Olds introduced one of the fastest and most well-appointed musclecars ever built, and it was all the better for the lucky souls who tooled along the boulevard with the top down on their rare 442 W-30 convertible. This completely restored Blue and Whte convertible is a great-looking example. With its White top, White interior and White W30 striping, this is one devilishly handsome car. SS1 wheels wearing correct Goodyear Polyglas tires and flared chrome exhaust tips are 442 trademarks.

This outstanding tribute convertible is equipped with a heavy-duty floor shifter automatic and its combination of options. The elegant White interior is a well-appointed driver's environment, with power steering, power top, Rally gauge package, four-spoke Sport steering wheel and a center console, with burled woodgrain trim on the doors and dash.

Highlights:


- just completed restoration
- W27 rear axle
- tuned exhaust that growls just like they did in 1970
- Light Blue exterior w/ stripes
- White interior
- White convertible
- Power steering
- factory air conditioning

- automatic, console
- Rally tach package
- Sport wheel
- AM/FM original radio with hidden blue tooth am/fm with C/D

The glove box says it all. And it's in "like new" condition. I can think of many better ways to spend $38000.

Must have input the wrong pictures? That looks like a early 60"s GM rear.

Guy claims its a 442 W30 but its not even a 442. Talk about false advertising. The first 3 numbers on the vin are 342. I wonder why there is no pictures of the engine. Here is the ad on ebay.

His description does say this is a tribute.

Ok, I didn't catch that part in the ad. I wonder why there isn't any engine pictures if it was a complete restoration.

The description sounds a lot like that shyster that had the bogus '71 W-30 convertible for sale a month or so ago. The car is even the same color.

I think the other car was Viking Blue.

Maybe it's just me, but if I'm looking at an ad for a car, the last thing I want to read is generic BS prose that the seller copied from some other website or book. Tell me about this specific car, especially the things that are wrong with it.

Uncle Hulka

No, it's not you, Joe. So many times I'll see an ad with that same, marketing sales verbiage. The way I see it, when a seller does that, they are either:

a) Trying to market the car to someone who doesn't know anything about these cars and that might be impressed by wordy, flowery, generic advertising copy.

or

b) The seller doesn't know enough about their own car to be able to put together a accurate, relevant description.

Either way, I lose interest immediately. Don't try to sell me your car; tell me about your car and we'll go from there.

x2 - All it tells you is the seller doesn't know anything about the car
