For Sale at Auction: 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 in Palm Beach, Florida

No expense was spared on the meticulous three-year rotisserie restoration on this rust-free Oklahoma 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Holiday Coupe, which is one of 2,574 produced in 1970, and one of only 1,032 with a 4-speed manual transmission. The concours-level restoration had the highest level of attention to detail, including all factory stickers and markings in the engine bay and underneath the car. It is powered by the correct 455ci/370hp engine with the correct Muncie M21 close-ratio manual 4-speed transmission and Hurst floor-mounted competition shifter, correct TM code 3.42 posi-traction rear with W-27 aluminum differential cover and correct B85 trim. The car is finished in the correct Matador Red (Code 75) color with a black interior and has 15-inch Super Sport rims. This vehicle is equipped with the W-30 package, which includes a W-25 fiberglass hood with cold air-induction system, low-restriction air cleaner, chromed hood tie-downs, lightweight red plastic inner fender liners, front disk brakes, dual exhaust, sports-style outside mirrors, W-30 badging and wide painted black stripes on the side and hood. Recently, this car went to Thornton Reproductions in Quakertown, PA, where it was tuned and received a clutch service. It also received a new tilt steering column, steering wheel, reverse and neutral lockout switches, correct factory ignition, new battery, correct B85 trim package and new master cylinder with an increased bore size from 1 to 1.25 inches for increased stopping power. The car also has new custom-made Oldsmobile-branded carpeted floor mats. All receipts for the full restoration, including recently completed work, will accompany the sale. ** PREVIEW
