Should arrive here in the next week. Found it hiding in a yard along with 5 other Oldsmobiles. I purchased the W30 with broadcast card and Owner history. Actually car has been owned by same guy since 82. and also purchased a 1970 Cutlass S 4 speed. Should have enough parts between the two and my private stock to do a frame off. FYI Its a 4 speed. Thanks God

 

Way Cool! Looking forward to seeing more pictures

great find! any other options?

 

Super purchase! Man you guys up there are sweeping them up

 

No real options, manual disc 4 speed L72 cooling ZK radiator. Other than that pretty stock except missing hood and OAI setup thank good I have spares.

 

here are firewall codes and ZK radiator tag. Original white car with gold stripes. Super rough but shes real... Prob be looking for a body soon

 

rally pac other than that nothing until I truly have a good luck. I didnt want to look to excited, and am just getting ready to load up the trailer should have her in a few days.

 

Nicely done. Getting the car history and broadcast card is a real bonus. Looks like you'll have your work cut out for you, but the results should be worth it. Did you also get the original motor and tranny, and W25 hood with the car?

Document EVERYTHING with pics. Before and after. Make sure to post the project in the major builds section so we can follow along?

 

Good luck with the project. Definitely a car worth resstoring.

 

Thanks Its rough but it is perfect timing with the winter, actually the next several winters,

 

Sweet find! Good luck with it.

 

Awesome!!!! We need more pictures STAT! LOL

Can't wait to see this progress!

 

I had the oportunity 20 years ago to buy a 70 w30 post car...auto..it was white with gold stripes and was a stunning car...shoulda bought it..lol

 

I know the feeling. This was a blessing to find this car. Also white with gold stripes is the exact color combo I would have ordered if I had the chance in 1970. This will be a long resto but at least its one of my dream cars behind 69 hurst olds and 66 w30.

 

Thats awesome that people are still finding these cars in backyards and stuff. More pics

 

I have found many Olds cars in back yards but this is the first w30. I never ever expected to find this car rotting away under a tree these days. Some peep just dont care. I just cant wait to get her hoe in my garage to slow down the rotting process.

 

Wow, I've found everyone of my on craigslist

 

Well I have as well but the backyard cars have been over the last 25 years. Much easier to find them 20 years ago. Now im lucky if I find one once a year or every couple of years.

 

Very cool, Love the backyard finds. I'll be watching the progress. How about some more pictures? Dan

 

SCORE!! Congratulations!

 

Found my w30 last year at a metal recycling salvage yard. Saved it from the crusher. No kidding , the w30 emblems were missing but when i saw the red fender wells my heart skipped a beat. Complete car except the -o58 carb. Great find on yours, with the broadcast card and all ; found mine in the rotten drivers side seat back all intact. Happy for you and know the feeling. Yours looks better than mine though.

 

Don't do a rebody. Fix what is there or don't do the project.

 

Im in CT too. Did you find it here or out of state?

 

grate score ! love those 1970 W cars , and it's 4 speed . are all the hard to find parts there ? how much $$$. more pictures .
