Looks like the real thing but no mention of documentation. Don't think I have ever seen a WOG67 tag in real life either. The heads look right with the plugged smog ports too.

 

Beautiful car, I would bet it’s a real deal w30. Be very interesting to see what this sells for ..my guess is 75-90k who knows

 

Oh it's a real one!

 

In the listing it mentions...

"The current Texas title carries a “VIN Certification Waived” remark."

Does anyone know what that means?

 

The seller covers it in the comment section. 12th actual comment from last post.

"we purchased the car in it’s current restored condition. Is part of a collection. It has been kept in a climate controlled warehouse since then started and driven periodically. Unfortunately, over the years the paperwork has been lost."

 

What do you know that we don’t? Familiar with it?

Looks Real to me. Gorgeous car

The E on the data plate tells you it's a W30. Also that WOG trans tag is original. Auto W30s were the only ones to get it. There should be a few frame markings for inspection that will tell you if that has been swapped out. If this car has been faked then someone who knows these cars inside and out would have had to do it.

 

Definitely knew about the E, but I always like hearing the deets on a car like this.
hopefully I’ll start my resto this year

 

I didn't know about the E on the data plate signifying W30. Thanks for the info.

 

Actually the first I've heard of it too, and I've been reading this site religiously for over a decade.

You learn something new every day!

 

I may be mistaken but I thought someone at one time knew of a 67 w30 without the E, maybe very early Jan build? Mike Richards, can you enlighten me once again sir?

 

There were a few documented early cars that did not have the E. Most all that you see will have it.

 

I parted a Jan build 67 W30 that didn't have the E. The E is a Fisher body code and would only pertain a function performed by Fisher. It's believed that Fisher installed the battery cables before being shipped to the Lansing assembly plant.

 

There are minor things incorrect, but only minor.

 

Going going gone....While a documented, mint 1967 W-30 can fetch $45,000 to $65,000+ at specialized auctions, an undocumented one faces a different market.

• Standard 442 Value: If it's a mint-condition "standard" 442 (non-W-30), it might still bring $35,000–$45,000 based on quality alone.
• The "Doc" Discount: Lacking proof of the W-30 pedigree typically costs the seller at least $15,000 to $20,000 in potential premium.
• Resale Friction: The red-on-red combo isn't the dealbreaker—it's the inability to prove it's one of the 502 factory W-30s built that year.

 

Ended up selling for 59,250. Not too shabby.

 

That’s a super nice car, looks well sorted out.. even if it is a clone which I highly doubt. My guess is it’s legit car. Well worth 59k

 

The trans documents the car.

 

it may be the correct transmission, but it still doesn’t prove that it was factory built. Guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on the authenticity of the car in that respect.

 

The trans along with the E on the cowl tag. I'm not disagreeing but facts are facts. You don't just run out to the bone yard and snag a WOG trans.

 

I believe that while NOT having an E doesn’t disqualify it from being a real W30…
Having an E in the right time frame definitely qualifies it as a real W30.

I think most of the folks who’ve researched these car agree on that.

 

Exactly…

 

That’s a real “W” car. Those auctions can be interesting, there weren’t a lot of questions asked on this Car or any in-depth pictures ( specifically all the unique W parts ), part #s,date codes ect…. requested. I thought that was really odd.

I think it was a good buy, I wasn’t bidding, but I certainly would’ve got to the final number in smaller bites. That’s for sure. My 2 cents

 

that’s true. those trans didn’t have a vin on them like later transmissions which tie the trans to the car.

that trans could have been swapped in anytime over the last 59 years.
