Oh well, I just still don't agree that it's that easy to fool someone that knows about these cars. Hey JOZW30 , Is it live or Memorex? Tell me if you believe this one to be authentic? You seem to think that a well-done clone can fool none of the Olds guys. Tell me with your W-30 expertise whether this one is real or fake? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() W-30 Convertible http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-W-30...1QQcmdZViewItem Real Olds Power Chat http://www.realoldspower.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=41977 |

So much for this seller's theory that NO 1969 Broadcast sheets-say W-30.

Well, you guys that own real W-30 cars, and have no problem with clones because you believe they raise the value of your real, authentic, matching numbers W-30, just wait and see how hard it will be to sell your car when some Oldsmobile guys begin doing this....
http://www.yenkocamaroparts.com/information.htm Last Thursday (on Thanksgiving), I gave thanks to Pontiac Historical Services for eliminating any doubt that my 1969 Firebird 400 wasn't born a 6-banger 1967 Camaro. ![]()

My stinky H/O! The original owner failed to send in paperwork for the little owners tag. I have never tried to search out the original owner as he spent time in the 'iron bar hotel'.

HO455,
First, sorry if I offended you or anyone else with my opinions. As for that e-bay car, I stand by what I said. I can't tell whether it's real based on the info in the auction. If I was forced to make a decision on that particular car without seeing it in person, I'd keep my money in my pocket and wait for a car with better documents. Anyone on this forum buying this car without climbing all over it in person? Like you & others have said, the seller has gone to a lot of trouble to create a comfort level regarding the authenticity of this car. For me that says there is nothing "bulletproof". Therefore, back to my original comments, I'd treat this thing like a "could be" W30, and would not pay top dollar. Unless while looking at it the seller produced something that could not be questioned. You’re talking about being “fooled”, what is so tricky about this? Maybe because I'm a poor schmuck and couldn't afford to be wrong about something like this. I'm guessing most guys that can spend this kind of money on a hunk of metal and plastic won't miss meals when it comes time to sell it and they’ve learned it's not real. By the way, how does what the car sounds like 36 years later have anything to do with its authenticity? ![]() As for the 69 H/O "kit", didn't see where it included the one-of-a-kind intake, and air-cleaner assembly ($$$$$$$$). But I guess there are people out there that would be fooled without them.......... ![]() Again, sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. |
