70 Olds 442 2 Door Post docs

[PeteLeathersac]

Thanks a lot!!!.

The car was a 442 Post w/ the W32 455/365hp and originally included the factory W25 Hood, M40 Auto and still had the original engine/trans when I traded it off soon after this late 80's pic...note the W25 hood is not on the car in the pic..
I did get the GM docs after the car was gone and the W25 was included in the original equipment list..

The pic is behind my folk's place a few miles from the Mosport Road Racing circuit exactly where I had parked the car after my last drive when it developed a knock after some midnight laps of the Mosport track w/ my best buddy...6 months later the squirrels had eaten the plug wires, my copilot chum had been killed in an accident and I lost interest so traded it off..

I had a call about 8 or so years ago from a guy who got the car from the guy I sent it to as my name was still on the title...I think he was a car killer/stripper and was only parting the car so believe it's dead now although at hiway speed a year or so ago I spotted a possibile remains of and haven't had a chance to go back for a up close look?.

I completed a frame-off resto on my father's '70 W-30 post in '03, didn't find any docs upon teardown. Luckily the upholstery shop found a broadcast card in one of the front seats, thought it might be important, and saved it!

That Gold convertible with the burnt orange stripes and white roof really looks good.
Same with the white post car a few posts up.

What is W25?

W25 is the OAI Hood...automaticly included on W30's but optionally available on others..

Those are red stripes, which were not a recommended color combo with that gold. The original owner wanted the combo because some FL football team is that combo.
