Rare #s match 442 ,4 speed convertible. Only 502 W-30s were built
total in 1967, no convertibles. This 442 has the ultra rare W-30
package added including ram air, red inner fenders and battery
relocated to the trunk. I've seen these air cleaners as high as
$9,500. It has won many awards at Olds events including best in
class at Olds Nationals
EXTERIOR: Over 20 year old paint and recently won best paint award!
Painted with high end Glasurit basecoat- clearcoat. Beautiful
factory color- code K Ocean Mist. This one really is laser
straight, not a ripple anywhere. Body gaps are like a new Mercedes.
The bumpers fit the contours of the body perfectly well. All of the
chrome and trim is a 9 or better. Show quality bumpers, at tail
lights are pristine. The stainless trim is polished and straight.
Door handles are original, the mirror is pristine. Upfront the
bumper is rechromed, headlight bezels are polished. Emblems look
new. It is correctly hand pinstriped dark red, just like it left
the factory. Has SS-1 chrome wheels with radial redline tires. The
convertible top is black and in excellent condition. New window
fuzzies and weatherstrips. Door jambs are painted real slick.
INTERIOR: In 2002 the seats were reupholstered, carpet replaced and
original console was rechromed. It also has original Hurst shifter
that says 442 on the handle. Very cool factory gauge cluster in the
dash with tachometer. Also has speed minder dial. Factory Am-Fm
radio plays crystal clear. Interior lights work. Dash pad is mint.
Instrument panel is very nice original. Has new reproduction
floormats. Very tidy inside.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Detailed to show quality. That W-30 outside air
induction cleaner is rare (and expensive, I found one for $9,500).
Has show quality chrome, correct 4 inch tubes lead to special ducts
between the headlights. Valve covers have been rechromed. The red
inner fenders designates W-30. All the components and finishes are
real nice. It has the splash shields on each side of the radiator
support, GM hoses and clamps, proper fan shroud, hood insulation.
The wiring is run neatly. Rebuilt engine in 1988 with only 20,000
miles since, it runs perfectly. Touch the key and it fires up, has
perfect sounding idle.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The W-30s had the battery relocated to the trunk
for better weight distribution (and the ram air tubes were in the
way). It was properly installed with the cables run just like
factory. It has the factory vent tubes but not needed because it is
a sealed battery. Top motor was replaced. Super clean metal neatly
spatter painted. Has rubber mat, tire cover, jack and spare. Under
the trunk lid and jamb is painted slick. New weatherstrip.
UNDERSIDE: Has original #s matching Muncie 4-speed, rebuilt in
1989. Has posi rear end. Also features Rally suspension which
includes sway bars and boxed control arms. New brakes, exhaust and
clutch in 2003. E-brake cables are hooked up. Has gas shocks in
back. The floors are very clean metal, smooth black finish.
Awards/Accomplishments according to previous owner: Class winner at
the Oldsmobile Nationals. President choice at the Quad State
Oldsmobile meet. Multi winner at the Quad State Olds Meet in IA,
IL, WI. Best Oldsmobile at the BOP Meet.
Exceptionally nice car in looks and function. Investment grade car
that will be a huge pleasure to use!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
