Up for sale we have a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W30. This legendary
muscle car is the real deal, it's a true W30 car that's documented
with a build sheet. It comes with plenty of documentation, scoring
cards, and receipts from when the restoration was done. Finding a
true W30 is tough enough, but this car also has the numbers
matching 455 Block and Close Ratio 4 Speed. In the paragraphs to
follow we will give a brief description of the exterior, interior,
and driveline of the Oldsmobile, but first we would like to tell
you a little about us.

We will start off with the exterior of the W30. The restoration on
this car has been done since the '90s, but you wouldn't know it
from looking at it. The body is straight down the sides and across
the top. Both doors have excellent gaps with a great fit, with the
hood and trunk also having excellent gaps as well. This 442 is done
in its factory color combo. The Matador Red is accented by the
Black Stripes, it has all been buffed and polished to a mirror
finish that's slick as a ribbon. As you can see this W30 has the
correct hood with the Hood pins. At the time of the resto new
emblems and a new grill were installed. All the Chrome and
Stainless is in excellent condition with some light aging to the
marker lights and hood trim. The glass is in great condition and
all appears original with exception of the windshield which has
been replaced. To finish off the exterior it's sitting on a set of
14" Rallyes with Firestone Wide Oval Tires.
Next, we will look at the interior of this 442. On the inside, it's
also done in the factory combination with Black Interior and Front
Buckets. The seat covers are in excellent condition and all the
padding is very good. Looking at the console it's done in black
with the wood grain accent and houses the Four Speed Hurst Shifter.
As you look at the dash you'll notice it also has the wood grain
accents that are like new along with the dash pad. You'll be
impressed to know that all the gauges are working including the
clock in the tic toc tach. Even the original radio is working in
this W30. All the door panels are in great condition along with the
headliner and sail panels which also have a great fit. In the
trunk, you'll see it has the trunk mat, spare, and jack.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Oldsmobile. This is
what you've been waiting for, under the hood it's sports the
Matching Number 455 Block that's mated to the Matching Numbers
Muncie Four Speed. The Rear end is the 12 Bolt Posi with the
correct Aluminum Rear End Cover. The 455 is set up with the correct
406115 Winters Intake and a 7040256 Quadrajet Carb with the stock
style breather that seals to the W30 Hood. The F Heads are casted
as 404 438 which are also correct and have the painted valve
covers. For exhaust, it has the 402294 RH and 42295 LH manifolds
that flow through dual exhaust with the Trumpet Tips out back. This
W30 does have Power Steering as well as Disc Brakes on the front
and drums on the rear. When you look under it you'll see the upper
and lower control arms have had the bushings changed along with the
end link bushings and ball joints. All the floor pans appear rock
solid with the rear passenger pan being patched. All the frame also
looks great and all the bushings appear to be in good
condition.
