PS: Did you ask about the Black, white stripe, white interior Chevelle? (probably a 1970) I had to ask.

Yes it was a '70 which he had ordered. He said that he would see it Cruising around the Oshawa area for many years, but did not know what had happened to it.

While it was repainted in the 80s, the car is very solid as none of the owners used it as a daily driver.

You know Stefano, this car is a &quot;KILLER&quot; in so many ways and has yet to find a new owner. Kinda reminds me of the '69 W-31 you offered and sold. Sometimes people don't know a deal when it is staring them in the face. I almost bought that W-31 just so I could say &quot;I told ya so!&quot; Sooner or later the stars will align for you, my friend, and when they do you and the buyer will both be happy.

Nice looking car..... For us (me) non Olds guys, what exactly was the W30 package and how did it relate (if at all) to the 442 package?

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Never did understand that and never asked until now.

A W-30 is the Chevelle equivalent of a a LS6.

That is a good question.

The W-30 Factory coded option started as a performance option added to the 442 in 1966 where only 54 were produced to Homologate the car for Drag Racing.

This was Oldsmobile's Factory Race Car.

So all W-30s have to be 442s first and all were built at the same plant in Lansing Michigan.

The basis for the Performance Part of the Pkg was Forced Air Induction system and the necessary parts to support it or &quot;outside-air induction&quot; system as Olds called it.

The W-30 evolved into the ultimate Olds performance/appearance Package.

So, in the case of the 1970 W-30 you got some mandatory options over and above a 442.

The W-30s were &quot;select fit&quot; factory blue printed 455 engine. Weights and clearence were checked and components were grouped and batched together for assembly.

Carb.
Dist.
Rear.

Had W-30 codes and specific part numbers.

Aluminum Intake

Special Heads

328 degree Cam (Only with 4 speed) manual disk brakes only

Dual sport mirrors

Red inner fender wells

Mandatory W-25 special OAI hood.

Less body and sound insulation was used as compared to a std 442.

The cams are so lopy on a 4 speed W-30 that some original owners as well as dealers thought the cars had issues.
