Re: 1970 Olds 442 W-30 convertible four-speed
Beautiful car Lee ! I love those ragtops. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
I friend of mine saw a W-30, W-27 convertible here in Sweden last year. I assume it was ordered that way but don´t know for sure. In the seventies many musclecars were bought on the East coast, in the pricerange you refer to, and were shipped over the pond. In later years some rare ragtops have found their way back to the U.S. I have a Hemi Challenger and a RAIV in mind.

Hi Janne !
No I haven´t forgotten about my COPO, I was just thinking about rare convertibles shipped back to the U.S. Do you have anything else to tell us about the W-30,W-27 convertible you looked at ? Transmission ? Other options ?

I just looked at it briefly a couple of years ago when writing my book. It is under restoration. The guy has the buildsheet somewhere at home, he said he should try to find it... It has A/C and Auto. The original hood was damaged some time and the insurance company had someone make a new one and it isn't really looking like it should on the underside. I am not 100% sure on the W27 rear, the whole axle is painted silver. It has been "known" for many years that this car has a Alu-rear. Except that, the drivetrain is #matching and car is in good shape. I think he would sell if he got a good offer and it could be another one going back to the US. But the exchange rate is bad for us selling. Jan
