June 8, 201213 yr Cheers or Jeers: 22,000 Mile 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W30 Sport Coupe Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item3cc7494e48 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W30 Sport Coupe (Post) 442 W30 Post, 4 speed, 2 owner. 1 of 142 built. 26,000 original miles, believed to be original paint, original interior – bucket seats, console delete, tach & gauges- Dealer paperwork, numbers matching motor & transmission. They are only original once!! 1 of 142 built!! This car in in ‘as found’ condition.
June 9, 201213 yr I don't usually like reds, but that is spectacular! I could do without all the strap-ons, however.
June 9, 201213 yr Sure some (cool) funky Olds-esque upholstery patterning. Red plastic inner fenders : woot! '70 is arguably the best looking of this gen, too. Nice ride.
June 10, 201213 yr very nice, ....but those extra gauges weren't oem spec, right? not needed... nah, just aftermarket junk added...
June 10, 201213 yr OEM guages tend to be junk - so having good ones isn't a bad thing. Aftermarket add-ons ruin the stock original aesthetic, though.
June 11, 201213 yr So does a grenaded motor. Sounds like you like running em hard once in awhile...which I support! (But not being stupid with them...)
June 11, 201213 yr I've been hard on cars on occasion, yep. Point being tho; you have a big bucks invested in the engine, sometimes you aren't as comfortable relying on original OEM gauges to monitor it. My B-59 won't be factory original/correct inside, but it'll definitely be strongly period, with the exception of a few quality gauges to watch the percolator underhood. I could quickly spend over $12K for the engine I want in my car.
