Got 4 tickets in a 1970 442 w-30 4 speed convertible in the 80's. It was repainted, reapolstered, and it had a ford 9" read Black with old stripes, black convertible top. 3.91 Detroit locker. When turning corners the tires would squeal. Great muscle car. It would leave rubber in 4th gear at 40 mph with M50's on the back. Very impressive car and a lot of fun. This one is a beauty! Glad to see the driver getting on it at the end of the video.
I started working at Oldsmobile in 1970 and they painted the 455 Blue Metallic a few years not just one year like you stated..also it had manual Disc not Drum on this car
Beautiful '70. There is something special about a black car with gold trim. Great color combination! One detail about the lack of a/c on this one-- a 4-speed W-30 could have had a/c if the rear gear ratio was low enough (3.23:1). This car probably has a 3.42 or 3.91 rear gear. Did this car sell? I hope it went to a good home. Thanks for posting!
Stick grind camshaft 328 duration not the 308 to hard on compressor and no vacume for power breaks ... I have a '70 W-30 automatic 3:90:1 Posi manual steering & breaks I swapped out the 308 cam for the 328 stick grind and a few tricks along with mild head work running 12:60's @ 103 m.p.h. in the 1/4 mile.. I don't have air conditioning I just wish it was post car with bench seat less weight .. nice unit even the hood with the screen you know it org. Would be nice to see the letter on the head "F". And that Oldsmobile W-455 or W-30 in the intake manifold depending on what casting they used from winters ❄️ same with the rear end if W-27 option aluminum third member...I see a lot of fakes with just the cover and the fender wells are a bright red I still have my org. Carburetor exhaust manifolds and 308 duration camshaft in the barn along with many other motors & transmissions. Looking for a '68 next...
Also it wood be nice if the original clutch fan was back in the car.If it is a correct good working one they work well .I personally like the orii clutch fan that it came with because it's all less reciprocating weight bearing on the extension that that always spinning one used and makes that jet sound . like mine that I have saved for decades now and is not a 4 speed one like all the ones that I have sold mine too and this one was correct by coming from the factory with no fan shroud? Beautiful car ! I too have the original paint only mtr. But mine is much more metallic blue than what's there.,

THANK YOU for that peel. A car like this deserves not to be a garage queen, even with how beautifully it was restored. Keep the legend alive!
Thanks for the memories. I owned a 1970 W-30 4sp when I was in high school in the 70's.
Dream car! Great job, way to preserve history for generations to come
Thanks from Lansing MI
What a fine looking machine! Gentlemen’s muscle car.
This is a magnificent example of a 442
Nothing sounds like a Big Block Olds, NOTHING!!!

Manning713 That's a big car!
Nicest '70 I've ever seen. Well done video too

Oh man! this is a dream. I'd love to have one.
My Bro bought one back in 70. It was a monster.
Don't sell it! It's Beautiful!
I had a 1970 F-85 W31 all black from the factory with no stripes!
A great escape machine

That is stunning!
Very very nice
Fantastic car and the proper color red for the inner fender wells would have been nice to see head letter along with intake manifold writing...
I had a '70' F-85 auto column shift with AC. Thought when I look up Vin it had a 454 in it.
Beautiful ride!!!
ALL 70 OLDS HAD AMAP LITE!

Two seat belts sticking out on the driver’s side. Did they really expect a third passenger to ride on the console 😂👍🤷♀️
No fan clutch, interesting ❗️
у нас такие движки ставили на Зилы)))
WOW, i am sure you regret selling it, spoiler looks the same as the Rally 350
What color was it originally again,
beaut!
All original, restored?

This car outlasted all garbage they make today!
You said it's not an ; A.C , car , yet it has an ,A.C. dash in it with all three louvers ?
