Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this smooth 1967
Oldsmobile W-30 442. By the time 1967 arrived, the American muscle
car wars were in full swing. Ford entered the ring with their
Fairlane GT while Dodge bullied the pack with the Coronet R/T. Not
to be outdone, Buick countered with the GS as Chevrolet claimed
street superiority with the SS...while silently, Oldsmobile brought
their own full bodied street slugger to the fight with the W-30
442. Approximately 500 W-30 442s were manufactured with only 129
being sport coupes. This '67 Olds was treated to a recent high
quality restoration by a true Oldsmobile enthusiast and comes with
full documentation including the original Protect-O-Plate. The
correct 400 has been replaced by a fire breathing Olds 455
producing over 500hp and 600ft lbs of torque on the engine dyno.
When you combine big block power with the original 4-speed M21
transmission and 3.91 gears, it's time to buckle up and hold on
tight. Please note, the original carb, distributor, intake, water
pump, and heads are on the current 455 while the standard bore 400
engine block, crank, and flywheel come with the purchase of the
vehicle. This two-ton terror looks right, sits right, sounds right,
and drives far better than it did coming off the assembly line. The
current owner was a stickler for making sure every body panel gap,
paint work, and final fit and finish were spot on and to his
standards. Pop the hood to gaze at the engine bay and red inner
fenders or take a peek underneath and you'll the witness same
stringent attention to detail. The American Racing "Daisy" styled
inspired wheels finish off the correct period look and front disc
brakes bring things to a smooth stop. A timeless example of, "Show
and Go," you can head out to the local car show and toss the
trophy's you'll win in back just before driving over to the drag
strip and leaving envious spectators with their jaws on the ground
wondering what just happened. Olds enthusiasts pay attention
because this one checks every box. This 1967 Oldsmobile W-30 442 is
