Wanted; 70 W30 4 Speed

Might possibly have a lead on a roller 1970 W30. Parked since late 80's Silver Coupe with Black 4 speed bucket interior. Decent metal. Needing patch panels for the most part. With original broadcast sheet. No drivetrain or interior. One of the highly desirable color combo's. Silver W30 4 speed black buckets with black vinyl roof SS1 wheel car. Have color picture to document car the day it was picked up at dealer from 1970.
Located in NJ.

I'm in St.Louis and go to Gateway club - do you go. I would rather have someone tell me what that have versus being narrow. Do you have something?

Thanks for the comment. Are you in the Olds club here in St.Louis, maybe I'll see you at the meetings. The more info you give the less calls I get, want to get as many responses as possible.

I have a 70 442 factory 4 speed bucket seat console originally burgandy mist with white stripes and white interior with console that is a project I would sell not a w30 but a true factory 4 speed bucket seat and very desireable color combo originally and I have a 70 442 numbers match car that has the build sheet both non-running and need fully restored.

If I am not mistaken all 70 442 W30 cars came from Lansing and there will not be a build sheet on those cars. Only a broadcast card if you find one and so that means other documentation would have to be found.

Direct email lemoldsnut@aol.com

calls Mon-Sat west coast time 541-815-4363 and Sun 1-5

At least if you need a/c it can be had with the 70 442 4 speed vs the 70 w30 4 speed .

There is a guy near aus tx that has one blue on blue for 20k - claims its a W30 as he purchased it with red inner and emblems.

Again no love for the 1972....,,,the only W-30 that doesn't require documentation and all the same parts and performance of a 1971 model (yes I know H heads vs Ga and different minor cosmetics......but they are the same car).

Then run 71 tail lights, grilles and headlight bezels in a 72.

A 1972 W-30 can be had for 70% of the cost of a 1971 and the X code in the vin is all the documentation one needs to guarantee their investment.

I do not have a 1972 U code 4 speed car..... And no one else on planet earth has one either.
