Nope - TH350.

Coincidentally enough, you could also order an M-13 HD 3-spd manual on a '31 as well. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: 70 w31 olds
 

Time to go digging in the interior for the broadcast card - as said before, without paper it's just a Cutlass with options. On the upside, that looks to be a (the?) factory OAI hood which is a $2k+ option. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I knew I forgot something, also it does have OJ282 trans and TO 0016 rear.
I also notice none of the papers work shot appeared I will have to reload them tonight.

Re: 70 w31 olds
 

Just a couple of things body-wize. Notta big deal. Engine looks to be a '73+. Balancer is incorrect. It looks like it's got a '68'69 radiator top plate. It's a neat color combo with blue guts. If you can get it reasonable, I'd buy it.

Re: 70 w31 olds
 

I wondered about that engine, but it's so long since I've had mine, that the details are fuzzy, and I only have a couple of engine photos.

Re: 70 w31 olds
 

I meant to get the engine #'s, he has them I just forgot the sheet they were on, he says the eng# match the vin#.

I think he has about 18 in it, would it be worth that if the build sheet is found. he wasn't to thrilled that I want to pull the tank.
he bought the car in knappolis NC. he realizes he'll never do the car justise and got use the money.
glad to see he's not going to just let it sit and rot away.

Re: 70 w31 olds
 

The original engine color would be gold on a W31. It could have been repainted. The missing intake and balancer really would hurt the value. It's also missing the outside air induction system.
However, being an F85 makes it rarer than a Cutlass W31. Paperwork is the key here.

Re: 70 w31 olds
 

do you think he could break even with out paper work.

Re: 70 w31 olds
 

If castings are correct, isn't the Vin stamping only accessible by pulling the power steering pump bracket...Im pretty sure I had to pull my pump and bracket to find it on my old '70 442 F85?.
And aren't seat backs, door panels and underdash areas a more common place for paper on these, not gastanks?.
