Heavily documented REAL 1971 Olds W30 convertible

[csx289]

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the kind words. Glad I am not alone in thinking it is such a special car It was a once in a lifetime find being able to buy a completely unmolested and untouched W Machine drop top from the little old lady school teacher who bought it from the original owner in 1974. I've never seen a better documented one or one with all the goofy original W30 stuff and every nut and bolt it left the factory with still there either! For example, the trunk mat is the original one from new - and all the Olds guys know those are made from some funky felt type material that usually turned to dust when exposed to daylight
I bought another '71 W30 A/C Convert from the original owner in 1988 and it was my daily driver for many years (still own most of it - long, sad story ) so I looked for literally years to find this car. Call them what you will, chicken lips, hen's teeth, loch ness monsters, whatever, but real W30 converts with real docs are just nearly impossible to find.

I know I will regret selling the car, but hopefully somebody that appreciates it, its history, and stunning restoration will add it to their collection and I can get visitation rights

Thanks again for all of the positive comments and inquiries.

Best regards,
Colin

Visitation rights??? So wait a minute if I buy the car as part of the deal I have to give you visitation rights???? Can you clarify that a littel bit? Like do you get to just come and look or can you actually touch and hug the car? Would we have joint custody and I would have residential custody? Would some states like CA consider this a common law marriage between us? Would these be conjugal visits? Would there be a guardian to spuervise your visits if I wasn't there?????Visitation rights is a pretty broad topic to be left so ambiguous don't you think?

Les I don't know you but the banter between Colin and yourself always makes me laugh.

Good luck with the sale Colin, that's a real nice car.

Only a DA could come up with this stuff Don't you have love brokers to put in jail out there?

Basically, Lester, if you buy the W30 it can stay here with your other cars that you have purchased and have nowhere to put. You know, in the half of my building that everybody has been calling the Lester Quam Wing? So when you visit for butter burgers at Solly's you could pet the W30 like you always do, except you would own it, and I would no longer yell at you for sitting in it and listening to my 70's 8 tracks doing your American Idol impersonation.

Oh, one last thing - two words for you - SPELL CHECK.

By the way I have been meaning to talk to you about the LQ wing at Classic Auto. First of all I have noticed the wing is located where the roof leaks. Just a coincidence? I doubt it? Secondly I would like some more light in the LQ wing with perhaps a bronze plaque designating the area as the LQ wing? Finally how about a section on your webSITE highlighting the LQ wing?
