70 w31 olds

Pete, I agree that a "documented" post car is much more desirable, but I'd have to argue value based on the evidence displayed between the two cars. The 442.com car will be worth more retored than that post car would with equal monies invested unless they produce some docs on the thread car.

The guys was asking for some help establishing value. My opinion is it's something less than the 442.com car.

Just my humble opinion. We all have them.

ok,here is why i feel very strongly its not a w31.

if the numbers are right on the block,and it the original motor,the pulleys would be different.
the pulleys on the motor are non W pulleys.

pull the heads,and if the valves are almost touching in the pocket,they are w31 heads.

the heads are 71 and not orginal, I haven't got back over to the car to pull the seat yet, going away this weekend so it won't be til next week.

thanks for all the help guy, guess we really need that build sheet

JJ...
- I'm with you all the way on the docs...surely the hardtop is worth more if it's a documented W31 and the post turns out not to be..

Found that old Car Review article last night w/ the silver W31 post car ...it was a 1986 issue!.
Man, time just keeps speeding up as the years go by!!!.

Good luck Will!.

Anyone know if the '68's had the same balancers or not?.

the 442.com w-31 needs a LOT of metal work,at least 5 figures to repair,in my opinion.
he has no docs to support the w-27 came with the car originally.

as for the w31 balancer,from 68-70 they are all the same,but there are w-31 parts out there with 1973 date codes.

Thanks for the answer on the balancer question Andy!.

Too bad it's not a post but the car in Canada looks like the best deal of all perhaps...especially if it's originally a Canadian delivered car and can be documeneted through George and the boys at Canadian GM Vintage Services!.

Is the 22K car in Canada still for sale?
What part of Canada? How do I contact the owner.
Thanks, Ted
