Got my W30 back

Here is the story. Before kids(1997), My wife and I drive down to Georgia to get this Olds 442 W-30 one weekend. We own it for 6 years until I sell it in '03. I have this dream this summer that I buy this car back. Kinda weird but a 'car guy' dream. Well.....i have to call the guy so I call and have to leave a message on his phone. Don't hear back from him for about 2 months and we just talk and I ask him if he ever sells it to let me know. Well......he called me last week and it is sitting in my garage today.

Great story, glad you have it back home. I would imagine the market value has gone up BIG TIME since '03!

Glad you got your car back. Now, an easy question...where's all the "clutter" in your garage?

Way Cool! Most of us have let one get away that we'd like to have back. I'm glad you were able to get yours.

Beige top looks hot with the gold & white stripes. Can't say I blame you for wanting that back. Good call.

The green is a 1969 442 and the one on the hoist is my 1970 W31 I am trying to sell. I also have a 1972 Cutlass that is in my car trailer. Its a happy Olds house.
