Hi Mike from igloo-land. I presume that means Alaska. If so, show us some photos of your igloo along with your car.

Telling us you've had an Olds since you were 15 doesn't tell us much if you don't tell us how old you are because you might very well be 16, in which case you've had one for only a year.

How long have you had the W30? Did you buy it new? Details. We need details.

And again, because you'll be asked 1000 times, we want to see photos of your car.

HEY I wish I was 16 haha.... ! Only if I can go back with my knowledge now lol..


I've had the W30 a couple years now.. it's been in autobody jail since.. not very pleased about it.. but not much can do.. I found it on ebay.. it had been sitting for 23 years the owner needed to sell because the wife said it had to go so they could buy a different house. We flew down to Calidonia Michigan from Sask Canada.. we had Mike the owner put in headers and new exhaust from summit as the old one was pretty rotted.. new tires.. and then we had some issues with the brakes.. because the lines had rust.. so we put on new calipers and hoses....gave it a once over.. and proceeded out with our fingers crossed and drove her home 3000rpm/60mph all the way lol.. Going through Chicago was scary because we were pinned in the traffic with not much top speed to maneauvor lol.


First car was 72 olds cutlass S with hurst dualgate optioned car.. it had many motors.. 350 ranging up to 482" olds in it.


I have no idea how to upload on this darn forum a picture from the computer lol.. if u can tell me how.. I'll gladly post a pic.
