The '70 W-31 /M21 post coupe has landed!
Hi everyone! A week ago, this amazing machine was delivered to me from CT.

I was stickw31 Steve's passenger and videographer in November 2011 when the car made its return to the road after 26 years of hibernation. He spent two long weekends at my house in PA this past summer working on my 442 and V Code Supreme, and he was excited to have me add this car to my fleet once he had decided to sell it.
On Saturday, I found some names on a 1973 Oldsmobile warranty transfer document, so I did some web research and sent out two letters. I got an email today from the second owner who bought the car from his cousin, who was the original owner. He sold it in 1978 for a 4x4 and was happy to hear it still existed. He even sent me this picture from 1977 in front of his house.

Here are a couple pictures of the car from today, with my '72 U Code/W25 442 that I've owned since 2000.

The V Code Supreme is waiting in the far bay beyond the W-31. It still needs one more weekend visit from Steve. ; ) The SX got bumped to my offsite garage after I swiped its wheels and tires for the W-31, but I'll get them all together for a family photo in the spring.

Great looking w-31! I am partial to the color. Just don't see to many gold cars these days. I got tired of sticks in my cars and trucks by the 90's. Now I wish mine had a 4 or 5 speed! Lost the fun as far as Trans's go.
