Original paint and interior,Numbers matching, 58,334 miles, broadcast card and original window sticker . A true survivor car. All Service records from new. Been parked a long time, not running. Second owner broke intake manifold trying to remove heater hose nipple. Only way I could ever afford to get a W-30 W-27 car. And no it was NOT cheap, I paid up for a fully documented W-27 W-30 car but is a once in a lifetime opportunity and the holy grail for a Oldsmobile guy.

May fix the rust below the paint stripe and leave the rest unrestored. They are only original once.

Awesome find.. I have the same car code 58 burnished gold. I assume that’s original paint, looks it. I welded in the patch panels on the front fenders and shot the paint from the bottom of the stripe down. Turned out great. I got the paint from TCP global. Lacquer and clear. I have probably a half gallon left if you need some..

It was owned by the guy I bought my 70 W-31 from and also stored at the same place that I bought my W-31 so I was aware of it. When I found out he was going to sell it he allowed me to see it and negotiate first as we had done business before. It took about 4 or 5 months for us to get together and come to an agreement as he lived out of state and had a lot of prior business commitments.
