No air and rear defrost, I'll bet that's a control panel you don't see too often.

No air and MT means the original engine has the 328 deg cam. That's a nice, solid foundation. Good luck with the sale.

It will need some love to come back to its glory but she looks like a worthy cause with documented history. Will be interesting to see how much she brings.

Very common in Canada and I suspect more common in northern USA than southern sold cars.

What is the restoration estimate to bring it back?


My guess is at least $50k

$50k will take it to a driveable #3 car if you want someone else to do all the work. It will be easy to spend far more. Naturally costs are lower if you are willing and able to handle the restoration your self.

Unless you own a paint & body shop, that car needs at least 75K min to get it to anywhere close to what it deserves to be, and that is if you do all the disassembly, reassembly and mechanical resto stuff yourself.

So you can have a real car done the way you like/want it.

There are not too many documented no issues 4 speeds even available on the market and if they are available they are usually not budget buys ; )

Stefano, please post the pics here of the gold car you showed us over on FB. My limited computer skills are not up to the task! Would be a great comparison and inspiration to see what this car "COULD BE"! $50k gets you to Cruise Night, $70k gets you to the Nationals, $100k gets you in Divorce Court.

W-30 Nugget Gold

Only 1,270 Olds W30s were equipped with a manual trans / muncie 4 speed. A broad cast card doesn't confirm the 4 speed option.

The eBay W30 has very good history back to the selling dealer and the original unrestored status of the car can help verify that it was one of the original 4 speed cars.

Very Kool find.

Very interesting info. I can't remember when the W27 option was first released and phased into production.

10/10/69, so early in the production run.
