Description

  This striking 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 was restored to high

  show-quality standards using mostly NOS parts and is original with

  matching-numbers throughout. This is one of only 3,100 Oldsmobile

  442 W-30 models produced in 1970. This authentic example was judged

  at the highest level by the Oldsmobile Club of America three times,

  scoring 995, 996 and 998. It was awarded First Place and Best of

  Class at the OCA Nationals. It was also awarded Best in Class at

  the Louisville Concours D'Elegance and Gold Concours Winner at the

  Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. All the awards are documented

  with judging sheets or the event magazines. As the original VIN Tag

  and Trim Tag indicate, this car was built on the third week of June

  in Lansing, MI, and left the factory with a Sherwood Green exterior

  and a green interior. As the three original Broadcast Sheets (which

  are included) indicate, the actual build date was June 17, and it

  was equipped with the W-30 option. From the information gathered,

  the car was ordered with the following options: Sport mirrors,

  tinted glass, hood-lock package, SSII wheels, Sport steering wheel,

  interior light package (including trunk light), stereo AM/FM radio,

  8-track, rear defogger, dual-gate with console, interior floor mats

  front and rear, 455 W-30 Ram Air package, OW automatic

  transmission, heavy-duty cooling system, power steering and power

  disc brakes. This vehicle was purchased on June 13, 1997, by Robert

  Traina of Crown Point, IN. This information is documented with a

  copy of a title, which is included. This car was found in Oregon

  with 50,000 miles. Traina collaborated with his son Robert Jr. to

  perform a complete body-off restoration. Their vison was to build

  the most authentic Oldsmobile 442 W-30 possible. They spent the

  next 7 years searching for NOS parts and meticulously restoring the

  car using a 1970 factory assembly manual. Over 200 photos of the

  NOS parts used and the entire restoration process are included.

  Upon completion of restoration in 2004, they drove the car a total

  of 460 miles. It was purchased on November 26, 2005, by Dennis

  Sullivan, of Lebanon, OH. This information is documented with an

  eBay listing, Bill of Sale, official check and title, which are all

  included. Sullivan spent the next 5 years showing the car at

  various events, where it achieved many prestigious awards. The

  exterior of this car is absolutely spectacular. It retains all

  original GM sheet metal and the body is extremely straight with

  precise gap lines. It was refinished in its original color of

  Sherwood Green, which is decorated with white stripes. The high

  show-quality paint was recently detailed to brilliant appearance.

  Everything on the exterior was restored or replaced with NOS parts.

  The car sits on NOS 14-inch gray steel wheels with G70-14 Goodyear

  Polyglas white-letter tires. The interior of this car complements

  the exterior perfectly. All of the green upholstery is original,

  with exception of the front bucket seats, which were recovered with

  original Green Madrid grain vinyl. Everything in the interior was

  restored or replaced with NOS parts. The trunk compartment was

  accurately restored and includes an original factory spare. The

  engine compartment is highly detailed throughout with mostly NOS

  parts. It's powered by the original matching-numbers 455 V8 engine

  with original F-heads. The engine was completely rebuilt with NOS

  parts, including a 308 camshaft. The engine breathes through a NOS

  dual-exhaust system. The engine is coupled to the original

  matching-numbers OW automatic transmission, which was completely

  rebuilt. The power is transferred to the 12-bolt rear end with W-27

  cover and NOS 3.91 gears. The undercarriage is also highly detailed

  throughout with many NOS parts. This car was recently serviced and

  detailed, which is documented with an invoice that's included. From

  the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection. ** PREVIEW
