1970 W-30 4 speed, a.k.a."Agent 007"

[Stefano]

The second owner had three W-Machines, a Blue W-30 hardtop, this one as well as 1969 Hurst Olds #355. This car received the TH400 from the HO so it still has the OH coded trans with the VIN to #355. Whereabouts unknown. The original 4 speed is believed to be in H0#355.

So if you have 1969 HO #355, I have your original trans.

I'll look up the town the original owners lived in. I like the Ed Roth style monster on the deck lid, so for now it will stay that way.

VIN on a 1970 verifies 442 status but not W-30 status.

Carburetor is also 4 speed specific.

Distributor is W-30 and 4 speed specific as well.

Aluminum Intake with "Oldsmobile" cast into it vs "OLDS" is early production.

What is your VIN &amp; Body number? Also the broad cast card will have the estimated completion date.

I believe only 367 W-30s were built that month and it is believed that most of the production was in the last two weeks.

Body # 262476 vin 163823. My tag has 3 dashed hyphens and a space between the LAN and body # unlike yours
