Saved & Restored 70 Cutlass W31

My good friend Allain purchased this W31 project 18 months ago & has almost completed a nut & bolt, off frame,rotissered restoration to factory specs.
This W31 is a documented(2 broadcast cards) WV, US car that was imported into Canada about 10 years ago & sat in the PO's garage untouched. It was mostly complete with original paint(burgundy mist/white stripes), white bench interior, M21, 391 posi rear. It did run but had extensive rust in the usual places.
Pic is when we picked up the car from the painter 2 weeks ago.
Final assembly is near complete & should be "road-testing" this week!

Yes, he restored the 70 GS 455 ex-California car as well.
Coincidentally it is the same color as the W31.
He is thinking about selling the GS.

Bringing this back to life for Andy the doubter. This was my car. I owned it for about 10 years. It was original paint and stripes.

Burgandy mist, bench seat 4 speed 3:91’s no wing.

I bought it in Michigan. It had the protecto plate and all other docs.

Not cool to post docs on a car you no longer own. Assuming you didn’t check with its current owner as I’m sure he wouldn’t want these floating around. Be better.

Anyone can find these pics …they are still floating around online from when I had it advertised.

a simple google search will bring them up..along with pics of the car.

you obviously have no idea that once pics are online, they never go away. You got a lot of nerve .
