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

[eilig]

After seeing the BJ Auction, it seems like green muscle cars are sort of "in."

I realize a comparison between cars is almost always "apples to oranges," but I think the nearest, best example that directly compares was the green 1969 Camaro Z-28 with 11,000 miles. It sold for $205k ($221k with buyer's commission.)

With all due respect to that car, as I too love Camaros, it is not as rare as this 442. And it was not the ONLY one painted that color -- there were other Z-28's painted that color during that year's production run. I've been working with Jerry Wilson, a noted Olds historian, and thus far he too believes it to be the only W-30 that was special ordered Ming Jade Green.

The 442 W-30 was the high watermark for Oldsmobile -- the most powerful factory Olds ever manufactured. It is the equivalent of a LS-6 Chevelle. I wonder what an all original, factory paint 11,000 mile LS-6 would sell for?
