1969 Oldmobile W30

Congrats on what sounds like a very cool car!
Was it always a street car only or did he ever run it at the track?
Did the owner supply any original paperwork etc or any hope for anything still to come?
Either way, looking forward to pics and more details!

With respect to production #'s supplied by GM Canada Vintage Services also whether it be for Oldsmobiles or other GM brands, the reported #'s often seem sporadic being what they exactly represent is not always specified.
Usually the quoted #'s are for total body style shipped into Canada but whatever's supplied, using Canada's approximate 10 percent population of the USA as a guide and comparing known production #'s with quoted Canada reported #'s, sometimes a good indication of what they most likely represent can be revealed.

Back to the subject car, if the known production # of 2475 units is specific to the 1969 "4477" serial # 442 Post cars regardless of transmission, W31's being Cutlass and F85 cars having their own serial prefixes are separate and not included in this production #.
I believe #'s are known for the breakdown between manual and auto cars but for the moment just using the 10 percent Canada guide only w/ the known 2475 units produced, approximately 250 manual and auto 442 Post cars were delivered to Canadian dealers.
Again this is for the 4477 serial # cars so represents all 442 Post cars including any std. 400 CID 442's whether equipped w/ optional W32 air supply system or not <span style="text-decoration: underline">also</span> the W30 Post 455 CID cars of which all included W32 parts.

That all said and again not specifically Olds cars but all GM brands, using the 9 to 1 ratio USA/Canada thing as a guide and jiving known actual production #'s w/ any different Canada reported #'s could help reveal some actual #'s also indicate some approximate #'s for cars delivered on both sides of the border.
