1968 Olds 442 W30 project car - $8500 (Clovis Ca)

Spotted on LA Craigslist. Not mine.
People selling W-30's should at least post a partial VIN to at establish that it's a 442 (for 1968-71) and Lansing built.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sf...716793828.html
Craigs list

This is a complete 1968 442 W30 project car. It has original red inner fenders, no power brakes, correct w30 air cleaner, under bumper scoops, 3.91 posi 12 bolt rear end, and factory tach. It was originally an automatic but has been converted to a four speed with correct 442 parts. Has some rust in the window channels, but otherwise solid. Original engine has been replaced with a 455. Has rear sway bar and 15x7 Rally wheels. Not running. Clear California title on non-op. This is a nice complete project car. One of around 250 made in 1968. Serious inquiries only. Text only for appointment to see:

I saw it when Joffroi posted it a week or so ago.

It's probably real. It's a tough sell being converted to MT & missing the D heads and the 254 carb.

It looks pretty solid though

How can you tell if it’s the real deal from the pics?

Real inner fenders. Manual brakes,

nothing else really.... probably too old that someone would have taken the time to clone it.

That's dangerously close to me. It's almost worth the asking price just for the w30 bragging rights.

So it's missing the items that make it a W-30.

Sadly, the original TH400 would have helped authenticate it as well, since the W30 would have an OW trans. Really neat, solid car, hope someone restores it.
