Copy of window sticker, rare W-30 4-spd!
1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Description
1970 442 W-30 was Old's top dog muscle car and the 4-speed examples are the most sought after. This one has a copy of the original window sticker and tell tale signs of it being a real W-30. Not to mention it is hot looking! The colors, big scoops, wing, stripes make this the Lamborghini of muscle cars. This car feels right-windows roll smooth, clutch is good, doors shut nice etc.
EXTERIOR: The car presents itself incredibly well. Flashy, glossy, sits proud. The body is really straight. I felt all along the bottoms and there are no bubbles. The panels fit square and flush. The ram air hood even fits flush. There are no cracks on the scoops. Paint is polished glossy. Actually they polished the roof a bit too much and rubbed through. It's not noticeable unless you look for it. Jambs are painted nice. W-30 stripes are correctly painted on. The sport mirrors are 1970 only. Has rear spoiler. Bottom door lip is clean. Chrome is excellent. Upfront the hood trim, headlight bezels, bumper, emblem and grills are excellent. In back the bumper is rechromed. New weatherstrips. The wheels are restored, new center caps and trim rings. BFG tires look new.
INTERIOR: Inside is not new but very good, unabused condition. Headliner is in excellent shape, so are the visors. Mirror is clear, dome light works. The door panels are very nice, straight and unabused. Upholstery also not new but no issues, very good. Carpet is new, has reproduction Oldsmobile floor mats. The dash area is nice. It has factory tic toc tachometer, factory Am-Fm radio. There are 2 aftermarket gauges mounted to the dash. Has a factory 4-speed console and a sport wheel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has a correct 455 with rare W-30 F heads and W-455 aluminum intake. Has correct air induction air cleaner with working flapper door. The red inner fenders used only on W-30s are original on this car, not reproduction. W-30 4-speed cars all had manual brakes. A brake booster would not work with the lack of vacuum because of the performance cam. The bottom of the hood has the "chicken wire" screen. Everything is cleaned up, painted and proper- master cylinder, wiper motor, power steering pump, brackets, hinges etc.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Appears to be original clean metal. No patches, no splices. 1/4s look original. Has a clean coat of spatter paint. Bottom of the trunk lid and the jamb are painted glossy red. It does have new decals, weatherstrip and trunk mat. Has a matching rally wheel for a spare. Has jack assembly.
UNDERSIDE: Front end is rebuilt and painted black. Bottom of the motor is clean, starter looks new. The M-21 Muncie 4-speed looks spotless. Has 12 bolt rear. It has Rally suspension which includes sway bars and boxed control arms. New exhaust system with correct trumpet tips going through the bumper. New fuel tank. Floors, braces, rockers are clean metal. It has been cleaned and painted black.
The all #s matching certified 1970 W-30s with 4-speeds regularly sell from $100,000 to $135,000. Recently one brought $225,500! This is a sexy, clean, rare and desirable car.
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.
