Re: Repro Pontiac round port/Oldsmobile W30 cyl he
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'.

Re: Repro Pontiac round port/Oldsmobile W30 cyl he
With total producting for 70-72 W30 converts being less than 500 and the survivor rate being 50-60% its no wonder these cars trade hands without the help of auctions or public sales.
Having said that I know of two 70 W30 converts that sold in the past month after being on ebay. What is more public than that? Both cars needed restoration. I can count 5 more that changed hands in the past year,again various degrees of restoration or preservation quality. I know of 6 71 W-30 converts that changed hands in the past year, two on ebay,2 through dealers and two privately. Keep in mind that the low production is directly related to low turnover. Ironicly,in my youth I was always led to believe that Buick was the number two division to Cadillac in terms of being upscale. I guess the way GM marketed themselves led to that. Olds was always alligned with Chevrolet and Buick was alligned with Pontiac franchises. The majority,as I saw it had Cadillac dealers in the mix with Chev and Olds. As far as there not being any nice 442 W30 cars for sale to the general public,its all about the numbers. Not too many Hemi Cuda's either. You will see Hemi Cuda's at BJ though and possible not too many Olds because in the past they do have not gotten the attention they deserve. Maybe the 08 auctions will be different?

Ho455: I am familiar with the collection mentioned above. It is truly MIND BLOWING!!! Thanx also for all the great W-30 photos in your gallery section. Everyone should check them out if they are into Oldsmobile. RM

Re: Repro Pontiac round port/Oldsmobile W30 cyl he
Devil!
I thought I had stated that my car is not on the partial list. They found a complete list of '68's and about 500 of the 906 '69's. Does that make mine more rare???
