Sell! Sell! Sell!

All of you Olds 442 W-30 owners out there are sitting on gold mines (even more so than usual), according to this Craigslist posting:

classic 1970 olds 442 w-30 - $100000 (lowell, mi)

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/2243186048.html



So, is this asking price from someone SERIOUSLY delusional or a typo?

[PLEASE be the former. It's SO much better that way... ]

Not out of the question, too rich for my blood though.
The capital gains taxes on an original untouched car with no high buck resto and part deductions would be a killer, the increased wealth would put you in a higher income tax bracket too.
Be lucky if you could afford a beater after you sold that thing for $100K.

Well, it DOES have the ultra-rare "drag pack"...

Hey, if Olds could use Ford, er, ah, DEARBORN transmissions, I guess they could use Ford drag pack motors as well.

I believe there are more W-30's in existence today then were ever produced. Seems you see them everywhere for sale.

If he has the original card on this proving it is a W-30 then he might get that much.....those are pretty much the only way to verify an original. I am just about done with a Sebring Yellow W-30 with the all important docs to prove it. I am going to start a little higher than this car actually.
