Default Re: FS: 1970 Olds 442 W-30, with 18,324 orig miles

Very sorry to hear the circumstances behind the sale. I figured there had to be a good reason for it. My father is in a similar predicament, he was diagnosed with cancer after he retired and during the "waiting period" with his new insurance. Needless to say, it has not been cheap or enjoyable, but where there is a will there is a way. I'd trade all of my cars if it came down to flesh and blood vs. gas tires and oil.

Again, your family should be proud of the preservation they did with the W30. I have a similar car, 23k mile black 4 speed car I purchased from the 2nd owner. It is really special to find a car somebody obviously loved. They are only original once!

I wish your father luck as well as luck in finding a buyer. At a price many times the accepted value it will not be easy, but it sounds like he doesn't really want to let go - which I understand completely! After all the years and care that W30 likely feels like family to you.

Hey, if you get the 350k please let us know!

Best to you and your Dad-
Colin
