NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION. YOUR ARE BIDDING ON A VERY RARE DOCUMENTED (WITH BUILD CARD) 1970 W30 442 SPORTS COUPE. 4 SPEED 455 CU. IN. VEHICLE IN NEED OF TOTAL RESTORATION ONE OF ONLY 142 MADE! IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO RESTORE AN ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC W30. THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT! YES. IT NEEDS PLENTY. BUT IT WILL BRING THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK WHEN DONE! WORTH APPROXIMATELY TWICE THE VALUE OF A HOLIDAY COUPE! A SPORTS COUPE - ALSO REFERRED TO AS A “POST” CAR BECAUSE THE DOORS CONTAIN A “WING” WINDOW AND ARE FULLY FRAMED. NOT A HOLIDAY COUPE! CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH P/S AND MANUAL DISC BRAKES NO A/C REDUCED TO FRAME AND CAB - MISSING FRONT CLIP SOME YEARS BACK I HAD THE FRAME CHECKED AND THE ONLY DAMAGE THEY FOUND WAS THAT THE FRONT “HORN” OF THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY BENT AND I HAD IT STRAIGHTENED AT THAT TIME. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING IT WHEN LIFE GOT IN THE WAY I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL W25 FIBERGLASS OVER STEEL FRAME HOOD – SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. BUT VERY RESTORABLE. THE HOOD ALONE IS WORTH AT LEAST $3000. 00 WHEN REPAIRED I ALSO HAVE ONE ORIGINAL INNER FENDER (RIGHT) CAR CURRENTLY HAS A 12 BOLT 4:11 GEAR RATIO POZI-TRACTION DIFFERENTIAL FROM A CHEVELLE INSTALLED IN IT BUT I STILL HAVE THE OLDSMOBILE 12 BOLT DIFFERENTIAL THAT HAS THE OPTIONAL DEALER ONLY 4:66 GEAR RATIO THAT THE CAR ORIGINALLY WAS EQUIPPED WITH. IT DOES HOWEVER REQUIRE 1 AXLE AND BEARING REPLACEMENT FRAME MOTOR MOUNTS ARE CURRENTLY SET-UP FOR A BIG BLOCK CHEVY BUT I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL OLDSMOBILE FRAME MOUNTS FOR THE 455 CU. IN. ENGINE. NO ENGINE / NO TRANSMISSION INTERIOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION THE METAL UNDERSIDE OF THE DASH BOARD IS DENTED WHERE MY HEAD MADE CONTACT IN THE COLLISION. I JUST NOW DECIDED THAT I AM GOING TO SELL THE CAR. PICTURES WILL BE UPLOADED FRIDAY THE 23RDPLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS
