1971 Oldsmobile 442 W30 Convertible Tribute

1971 Oldsmobile 442 W30 Convertible re-creation/tribute car. This stunning 1971 Oldsmobile Convertible was born in Lansing, Michigan and sold new for a total of $5,756.13 from Collins Oldsmobile in Indianapolis, Indiana. We started off with an original rust free fully documented car to take on this build to commemorate the extremely rare 1971 W30 Convertible. With less than 110 ever made, this was the perfect platform to start with. With all its original paperwork including: build sheet, broadcast sheet, protector plate and books. This super low, 33,000 mile documented, excellent condition Oldsmobile with ORIGINAL 455, all matching numbers original car was the only way to do it the right way. No expense spared nut and bolt restoration, taking many months, with more money spent than will ever be able to get back was completed less than 250 miles ago. What we finished with was a STUNNING 442 W30 re-creation with ALL the correct OEM/NOS parts. For the massive 455 engine we added its Aluminum correct W30 manifold, it's correct Red inner liner plastic light weight fenders, correct OEM W25 air induction fiberglass hood as well as correct OEM Badges and striping. Re-sprayed in its original bright White and Black stripes over it's accident and rust free body. Loaded with all the goodies, such as a 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission, an anti-spin-axle, HD performance 3.73 rear axle, rare A/C, correct OEM original wheels, AM/FM Stereo with rare and WORKING 8 track tape player, tic/toc clock and RPM gauge, Power steering, Hood locks, Rallye Pac, Sport Console, sport mirrors, soft top boot cover, courtesy light package, sport mirrors, trumpet tip exhaust, Strato bucket seats that are still in their original as well as the rest of the interior "Superior" condition! This car has effortlessly traveled the roads as my very own personal car for the last year and 250 miles plus with no issues what so ever. It is truly a joy to drive. Powerful, straight and sounds great. EVERYTHING works on this car...even the key left in buzzer as well as all lights, top, trunk and courtesy lights, radio, A/C. When I say everything, I mean everything. This car has no disappointments at all. Not only is it just a stunning cosmetic and mechanical re-creation example of a great 442 W30 convertible, but it's mechanical condition leaves me no worry to drive this cross country tomorrow without hesitation. Upon completion it was just too nice for me not to enjoy it myself prior to sale, but now the time has come to let it move on to the next owner that I am sure will smile from ear to ear, as I have with each history setting mile you drive it. A true collector car for the years to come. Recently fully serviced, fluids, filters as well as new Radial tires for great drive ability has been completed.
