Details

This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 is one of 262 Sport Coupes made for the model year, and of those one of 142 equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission. It retains an original matching-numbers 455ci engine and 4-speed manual transmission, as well as all-correct W-30 components. This car underwent a nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration with no expense spared to return it to showroom condition, wearing an original shade of Copper Metallic paint with black stripes, complemented by the Gold interior. The body-off restoration used as many original or NOS components as possible, with great attention paid to even the smallest of details, such as leaving the small scratch on the dash that was noted on the original Bill of Sale. It was purchased new at Bodnar Oldsmobile in Albany, NY, on November 25, 1969. The sale includes documentation, including the original Protect-O-Plate, Broadcast Sheet, Bill of Sale, an original 1970 Connecticut title in the original purchaser's name, several previous registrations, an owner's manual, a thank-you card with warranty info from the selling dealer addressed to the original owner, receipts from the restoration and a 4x8-foot plywood sign from the original selling dealer, Bodnar Oldsmobile in Albany, NY. 52,601 miles (title reads exempt).
