Default Re: Repro Pontiac round port/Oldsmobile W30 cyl he

But isn't really about mis-representation more than whether a car is a clone or not?

As a "car guy" I don't have a problem with somenone building a tribute car because they can't afford the real thing. Trying to sell it by lying about it's "correctness", is the issue.

Only consider myself knowledgable about Olds, so I can't say that this goes for other makes or not, but here goes.....

Anyone that knows anything about the W30's knows that unless it's a 72 or has bullet proof documentation, you treat it as a "could be" W30. Period. If you pay $175K for one one of these "could be's with incorrect/unavailable parts to boot, your a fool. If you don't know enough to even find someone that does know enough......well, you get the picture.

Sorry for the novel.

I put a repop W30 intake on my 72 because the originals were all over $600.00 and the vast majority were garbage.

Thanks Parts Place!
