Two pictures of the NADA and Hagerty price calculator but not one pic of the cowl tag or the supposed build sheet.
It's got a back seat full of kickers though....that will help sell it

Are the two track cars documented W30's or were they just 442's that were track prepared? I thought I read somewhere that they had F heads but that doesn't make them W30's.

Others please chime in on the two track Y-74 442 pace cars.
Meanwhile back to this sellers BS....

I need to apologize to my users because it looks like I have an issue with some code on my site to allow more then 20 images on an ad. (I'm working on a coding re-design but my free time is minimal now). He did post a picture of the build sheet. Sorry for it being sideways.

In 1999 I worked on 70 pace car #2. The owner of #2 was able to contact the guy at Olds engineering who was in charge of building the two track cars. Both cars were identical except for tires (and VIN's of course). Both cars had OW transmissions. Both had special built 455's with F heads. Both used cast iron intakes. Both had 3.42 rear end ratios, and both had power disk brakes with station wagon rear drums. Both also had chrome valve covers , accessory brackets and oil fill tube.
FWIW, (and since I can't produce proof), a friend of mine who worked fairly high up at Olds told me that no 70 pace cars could be W-30's because of too much duplication of what was included in each package. The same theory could apply to the Rally 350 W-31 myth too I guess. ~BOB

I'd be happier with an original Bill of Sale or dealer ordering form showing this cars VIN.

I personally like the '70 and '72 Cutlass/442 Pace Cars without the side Indy 500 decals, as they distract from the standard stripes and car lines.
Too bad they did not produce them so they could be easily removed and reapplied for display purposes.

What a relief to read this post. My dream has always been to someday own a 1970 Y74 pace car. A driver-quality 442 would be great, but even a Cutlass version would be fine. I about blew my drink on the screen when I saw the $180K price tag on another site. It's nice to know that might be a little high.
