I have several 1970 Olds W31 cars,1 is James Garners 1970 Olds W-31 442 Baja race car Iam restoring right now, In my stock pile of parts i have some super hard to find parts i might sell, Iam just asking what they are worth before i try to sell them, I have 2 each NOS W-31 balancers, 1 NOS 1970 W-31 carb, 1 NOS w-31 intake, Please let me know what you think they are worth

 

"PRICELESS"

 

throw that stuff in the trash

 

Sounds like you're planning some dumpster diving...

 

Well sence you think i should throw in in thr trash my sister is having a garage sale next weekend, i will drop off the parts at her place and let her get what ever she can, Best offer over $5.00, Like that!

 

I would definitly dive in a dumpster for those parts. The only value I could give would be $$$$$$$$. You probably have enough to start a 401K.

 

I dont know what they are worth, and i dont need to sell them, I thought i might offer them to the right person that could really use them, A used W-31 intake goes for $550.00 to $800.00, My intake should be worth $1000.00 to 1200.00, And a rebuilt date code W-31 carb rebuilt goes for $750.00 to $900.00 This new in the box carb should be worth arounf $1200.00, Those are my ideas, They might not be worth that, I like trades, I had a offer of $2000.00 for the intake and carb, Ron

 

still waiting for those pics,ron

 

I just got back from Los Angeles, I had a few things to do, #1 is i tracked down the original Ram Air hood that was on my race car during the 1969-1970 race season, I know its off my car because i allready bought a lot od one off race car parts that were only made for my car, And the hood has the same base color Gold and then Blue with the White and Yellow stripes, That one cost me $3000.00, Thats OK sence there is no damage to the hood and it 100% the same hood as seen in my photos, #2 I had to meet with a movie producer thats filming the re running of the 1967 Mexican 1000 race, My car will have a major part in the film and there will be 4 cameras mounted in my car, #3 I talked to a private car collector and he wants my can and no amount of money can get this car but iam now going to build a perfect clone to my car for the collector, So now i need to kill a 1970 W-31 to build this project, Iam looking for several 1970 W-31 cars to recreate the race car, If i can find a good project W-31 i can still sell the NOS parts if not they will go to the clone I would rather not use them, Here are some photos of the original hood i just bought

 

you dont need a w-31,any 70 cutlass will do.

 

I would like to have the right vin # and then i get the right intake and other parts

 

ron,the vin means nothing.

w-31's have no special vin# signifying it is a w-31.

they were just built in Lansing,that's all.

i have an immaculate 64k mile one owner arizona 70 cutlass with the M in the vin# for sale for 12K,just like the w-31..

 

 

I want carburetor and balancer !

 

Good luck with that. This is from 2009 and I had talked to him at that time about them.

 

Yeah, that flipper tried to get them too.

 

Surely 6-7 yrs later the Garner Baja car is done now?

 

It has been done for a while and he has since sold the car.
