1970 W-30 convertible

[DW31S]

Earlier in the ad it clearly states the "F" heads were missing, carb., distributor, were from 1973, and had headers. It does say matching block. Those are pricey, and an important part of a W-30 package. Later in article descriptions says "F" heads and exhaust manifolds were found. No mention of correct and "possibly correct dating" on those items. Nowhere did I read that carb. and distributor were found.
I am not knocking this car , and it is truly a rare car. However, IMO, unless the originally missing items that were found are "correctly dated", and a "correctly dated and coded" carb. and dist. are located and installed, the car can't be a "born with" drivetrain. In the world if $150-250k Oldsmobiles, if ALL the important items are not present and installed, the buyers will balk. Will they WALK? Maybe not, but again IMO, without those "W" specific items the knowledgable, qualified, buyers will shy away from an "over the top" sale.
If it were mine, I'd hunt down those "tough" parts, if only to add to the list of "W" stuff that IS there.
No argument here, just my take on this car.i
