Default Re: 1970 Oldsmobile W30 Coupe 4 speed

Just recently got off the phone with the Original owner : )

Owner #3 from Canada saw the W-30 on eBay and contacted us a while back. He identified himself as owner #2, but was actually owner #3. He bought the car from owner #2 with only approx 20,000 miles on the odometer in 1984 for $8,400.00. He had the foresight to contact the Original owner and ask for additional info and/or documentation.

The Original owner had a picture of the car from when recently purchased as well as the Dealer Shipping Invoice......similar info to a Window Sticker.

The Original owner was a mechanic for the Car dealership where he bought the car and while he did have a Black White Stripe White Interior SS 396 Chevelle on order, the GM of the dealership wanted the First '70 W-30 they had received cruising the streets of Oshawa, so he cut the employee a deal in order to induce him to buy the car.

The Original owner said that he hardly ever drove it. Drove his motorcycle to work most days and truck in bad weather.

I asked him if he ever raced it and he said NO, but that he did get on it (literally) once or twice.
