Ryan Pm'd me and mentioned that some of my old Olds photos had disappeared from another thread, so I thought I'd repost them here!
I had 2 1970 W-31,s in the mid 70's, one automatic and one 4spd. Paid $2,200 each for them, and then had a guy with another W-31 contact me to see if I wanted his too. Alas, not enough money or places to put them!
This was my first one, bought from a Datsun car lot in Richmond, BC. The 4 spd. The hood was stolen the night before I took delivery, but was recovered when Police raided a property on an unrelated theft claim, so I drove it for a few days with no hood. When recovered, it was in primer with a maple leaf painted on each scoop. I painted it to match the car myself. This was about the time my career as a striper began. I did stripes and graphics for car dealers in BC, and am still in the business today, mostly wrapping vehicles.
