1969 Oldsmobile 442 W30 4spd Non-air on 2040-cars

Here is an original 19k mile 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. This car is equipped with the W-30 option. It was just removed from long term storage in Ohio. It was in there since at least 1985.  It is a very complete car some of the hard to find items still in place. I think about how this car must have looked and performed when it was new. Being a factory Platinum Silver paint car with a black interior, it had a real menacing look. That's right, its a Platinum on black 4 speed 442.

   Originally it was equipped with the 360 hp 400 cubic inch engine with a fresh air induction. Behind the engine came a Muncie 4 speed hooked to a 12 B.O.P rear end. The trans and rear are retained to this very day. The engine is long gone as is, the air cleaner assembly. It still has the factory plastic, red in color, inner fender wells.

   All of the W-30 suspension is there still. The boxed control arms, front (removed currently) and rear sway bar, manual drum brakes. It also has the limited slip posi rear end. These components have been with this car since it was assembled way over in Michigan. That's where all W-30 cars were built in the USA.

   The interior is mostly complete but the headliner and carpet was removed and discarded due to mildew.  It has an aftermarket shifter in place of the factory piece(I was able to obtain the factory hurst shifter with 442 script and linkage though). The rally dash has a factory tic toc tach that works. This was part of the rally pack option that all W-30 442 cars came with.

   I have looked in the headliner, the bench seat backs and underneath, the rear seat and in the door panels for the build sheet. I have had no luck finding it.  I'm not saying its not in the car somewhere, I just haven't found it. So, after discussing this car with a few Oldsmobile gurus, they have all came to the conclusion that this is the real deal and the baddest of the bad.

   The car has a 455 in it currently with a holley 750dp carb, Torker II intake, C-heads, deep oil pan and a Lakewood Steel bellhousing.  The motor sounds like it has a rather healthy camshaft, along with hooker headers and 3” exhaust and flowmasters.  This is a Non A/C, manual steering, manual brakes bench seat 4spd car.

   I also have tons of extra parts, mostly complete nice 70 cutlass black interior, a nice set of black A-body buckets seats, Nice black non-air 69 dash, original rust free 69 deck lid, Driver quality 69 front and rear bumpers, complete fresh built still in the bag 355 old with forged pistons, and another builder 350 with everything to re-assemble.  I also have complete 70 front disc brake spindle, 71 chevelle 12bolt posi rear with a bad ring gear and summit racing rear disc brake conversion kit new in the box.  I also had a custom 1 off EFI fuel injection intake manifold made for the 455 as I wanted to EFI the car and keep it oldsmobile.  There are tons more, I know I am forgetting. 

    I bought this car 5 years ago after long term storage and haven’t had the time or finances to give it what it deserves.  What I have done since I purchased it was re-installed reproduction clutch linkage as some of the original parts were mixed matched when I purchased the car.  Changed all fluilds and install the new holley carb and tune up to get it up and running.  The car has been in storage the entire time I have had it with pulling it out and starting it monthly.

   The condition of this car is running and driving. It has minor rust for a car this old, lower quarters are soft, lower fenders have bubbles, small hole in drivers front portion of floor (about the size of a dollar folded long ways, and a few small holes in the drivers side of the trunk pan). It needs a restoration to be beautiful again. This includes minor sheet metal and mechanical in all areas. This car will be sold as is, where is. It will be sold with transferable Ohio title. A $1500 non refundable deposit is due 48 hours after the auction ends through PayPal.

   So please bid hard, bid often. This is a reserve auction.  Bottom line, no BS. Look at my feedback. No worries from my end. I will assist in shipping the car in anyway I can. Its just your responsibility to arrange it and pay for it. No big deal. I also encourage any interested parties to either come and check it out in person or send someone to that knows what they are looking at. Also, any questions, please ask. I will try and answer everything to the best of my ability.

   Thank you for looking.
