Lot #736 - Only 32 W30 convertibles were equipped with 4-speed transmissions in 1971. There were 110 total produced; however, only 78 were automatics. This car does not have its original matching-numbers block, but has a date-code-correct 455ci 8-cylinder engine with all the correct W30 components intact, including H cylinder heads, aluminum intake manifold, carburetor, distributor and an open-faced alternator. It has red inner fender wells, WO-coded Muncie M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed manual transmission and TO-coded 3.73 posi-traction differential. This car was painted with its original color, Saturn Gold with black stripes. This 442 received an extensive frame-off restoration. The entire drivetrain was rebuilt, the body was lifted and placed on a rotisserie, the frame was blasted and painted, and the front end was rebuilt by using all Moog parts. The springs were purchased from a GM restoration dealer along with all the necessary bolts, hardware and new shocks. It has a new gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines and brake components. The car is optioned with SS1 wheels wrapped in wide oval Coker tires with raised white lettering, sport steering wheel, Rally Pack gages, restored deluxe seatbelts, 4-speed console and power steering. The interior was restored with all-new seat covers, door panels, rear panels and carpet. The dash was disassembled and restored to like-new condition. The new windshield, all door glass and quarter glass are all correct date-coded. All wiring harnesses were replaced, and the front bumper and rear NOS bumper were show-plated. It has Gardner exhaust system with chrome tips. This Olds has been garage-kept and covered since the completion of its restoration in 2012 and has since won First Place awards in 2012, 2013, 2014, and in 2017, when it scored 990 at the Oldsmobile Nationals in Albuquerque. Included with the vehicle is the Broadcast Sheet for documentation.
