one of only 168 W-30 convertibles equipped with the powerful Turbo-Hydramatic 400 transmission and Hurst Dual-Gate shifter. Powered by a numbers-matching 455C.I. V8 engine, this classic muscle car still retains its correct “OW” code T-H 400 transmission and “SF” code 3.23 Positraction rear axle. The W-30 package took the already potent 442 and turned it into a true performance monster, originally rated at 370hp but known to produce closer to 450hp. With 500lb-ft of torque, this 455C.I. V8…

V8 could easily send you flying.
This W-30 still sports its correct Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and Winter’s aluminum intake. Underneath the W25 lightweight fiberglass hood with dual fresh air scoops, the engine roars with unmatched power. The heavy-duty transmission and Posi rear end make this car a beast on the road. Despite its power, it’s packed with comfort and convenience, including factory “Four-Season” air conditioning, power steering, power front disc brakes, Rocket Rally Pac gauges, FE2 Rally suspension, and more. The original window sticker and extensive documentation, including a photo history with a picture of the original owner from 1970, add to this car’s authenticity.
Finished in stunning Viking Blue with white hood stripes and a matching white convertible top, the Parchment interior features bucket seats and a console. This documented southern car has spent its life in Florida and Georgia, making it one of the best-preserved examples of its kind. Complete with original warranty booklets, manuals, and letters from Oldsmobile, this W-30 is a rare opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history.
