1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142.

I want to say thanks to John Hoer for finding and helping me to acquire this W-30.

I swore off all project cars.......but couldn't resist this one.

Only 3,100 total W-30s produced in 1970 with only 142 4 speed Sport Coupes / Post Sedans.

The Black / Black with gold stripes is extra Kool,for me.

This W-30 is a low option car.

The 3.91 gear, the console, the radio, SS IIs and that's about it for options.

We have history back to the original dealership / owner as well as every subsequent owner. I am the 4th owner. Car traveled 75,000 miles and lead a hard life.

The car doesn't look like this today unfortunately, but here it is with the original owner soon after it rolled off the show room floor.

Sounds like an awesome. Car one of the best color combos Oldsmobile offered on the W machines.

Re: 1070 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

Very neat find. I think we are all dying to see the 2016 version of it.

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

The 69' W-30 442 I bought while in Vietnam was also black with gold stripes and had a white interior. Later I added a gold &quot;Hurst&quot; stripe from the top of the front fender to the C pillar. Sure wish I knew what happened to that one -- traded it in on a 70 Z-28 in Clovis, NM ... TAZ

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

Taz, you had all the Kool cars : )

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

If I were to show you a list of the cars my wife and I have had you would flip. But its more fun to remember all the good times with each starting with my dads 56' Buick Roadmaster ... TAZ

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

If ever I were to own an Olds, this one would be at the top of the list.
Hope to see it as progress is made on the resto.

The wife would be cruzin' with her girl friends and many of the dudes with the hot rods, etc. would ask her what the W-30 stood for on the fenders ... she'd tell em' that was a reminder to put 30 weight oil in the motor ... LOL [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

That is one cool 442...its really cool to have those pics with the original owner!!! That car deserves to be done right.

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

To quote Carl Spackler &quot;It's a little harsh&quot;....... Neat piece, though.

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

This car is enough to make a Chevy guy love Oldsmobiles:-)

All the boxes are ticked!!!!! History, W-Machine, 4 speed, Sports Coupe, B90 trim, cool owner........... you name it!!

Ryan

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

Whoa! Now that's an Olds! - Aren't there pics of an ongoing restoration (probably finished now) of the Holiday Coupe Black/Gold version of that car on a thread here somewhere?

Re: 1970 W-30 Post 4 speed one of 142
 

Did you find the link to that particular OLDS?

Did you visit with Tom?

I have a standing invitation if I get my Canadian butt to Arizona one day:-) His cars are top notch, race cars back in the day, totally documented, all that and a bag of chips. (This one was silver like Alberts)
