By 1971, the muscle-car era was coming to an end, and most manufacturers were franticly shifting their focus to meet emissions and fuel economy standards. When Oldsmobile continued the performance-oriented 442 model into '71, it would be the last year as a stand-alone model, as the following year it became just an option package for the Cutlass. Although all power was down across the board for all GM brands, the W30 package was still available, making 350hp from a 455ci V8. The W30 cars were very similar in terms of features and appearance to the 1970 models, sporting fiberglass hoods with scoops, performance upgrades on the engine, a wing on the rear decklid and the iconic red front fender wells. In total, just 920 cars left the factory in 1971 with the W30 option, making them one of the lowest production years of that option package.

This particular 442 W30 coupe is one of the 920 that left the factory in 1971, finished in its original color combination of black with black interior. It is the recipient of a frame-off, no-expense-spared restoration to the highest standards. Featuring its matching-numbers 455ci engine, it retains all the correct W30 components and is backed by the original 4-speed manual transmission. Helping put the power to the ground is a 3.73 posi-traction rear end. The like-new interior is well-optioned, with a console surrounding the floor-mounted shifter, a sport steering wheel, power trunk release and the Rally Pack gauges. The car comes with a stack of restoration receipts as well as a partial Build Sheet authenticating it to be a true W30. This 442 is an exceptionally high-level restoration on a rare car in one of the most desirable color combos, making it a must-have for any serious muscle-car collection.
