Description:
THIS… is a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30, benefitting from a stunning concours-quality restoration and finished in an exceptionally rare and striking Sebring Yellow over White color combination.
This example is far more than just a W-30. In addition to the coveted performance package, it is equipped with the Dual-Gate automatic transmission, factory air conditioning, and an AM/FM 8-track stereo—a combination so rare that it is believed to be one-of-one in this specification. Its uniqueness and exceptional presentation have earned it multiple magazine features and cover appearances.
The W-30 package included the legendary 455ci V8, paired with a fiberglass hood featuring integrated air induction ducts feeding a low-restriction air cleaner. The engine was specially tuned for increased performance, firmly establishing the W-30 as one of the most formidable muscle cars of its era. Automatic-equipped W-30s received the Hurst Dual-Gate shifter, specifically calibrated for aggressive performance.
Power is delivered through a 3.42 Positraction rear end, while signature red fiberglass inner fender liners—a hallmark of the W-30—set this car apart from standard 442 models.
Overall, this 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 represents a highly documented, magazine-featured, concours-restored muscle car, combining rare factory options, iconic performance, and exceptional visual impact—an elite example worthy of the most discerning collector.
