Hi TCT9MM, Happy to read you think this one is "Perfect!" :-) Appreciate the kind words on this video, Lou

I love when cars like this are kept relatively stock. Oldsmobile always made super great engines with a high amount of nickel in the engine blocks . convertibles are heavier than hardtop due to the the overcompensation for not having a fixed roof but with 500 ft lb of torque it's not really a concern. Thanks to u both lou

LOL older brother had a gold/white 1970 W30. Nothing could touch it 0-60. What I remember was how HOT these cars got. Driving to a summer wedding out of town with mother and sister in law, we had to pull over, pop the hood and fan that monster 455 with magazines/floormats to get it cool enough to finish the drive to the wedding before we missed it. Better story, elder brother passes the car down to middle brother. One day he catches my Ma walking out the door and volunteers to take her on an errand to the drugstore for blue rinse or curlers or something. He waits in the car parked near the store, when he sees my mother he jumps on the gas and does a brake stand a LOUD SMOKEY brake stand. He then pulls a donut and slides up next to the curb where my mother is stoically waiting...She gets in the car and says "I wish you wouldn't do that". BTW, saw a mint all original version of the same car sell on Barrett Jackson for about $450k. Cheers Lou.

Great car, brings back memories. The Mom of one of the kids I grew up with had a 1970 442 W30. Hers wasn't a convertible but what a ride! She had a bit of a heavy right foot, I can still remember her getting on it just enough to break the tires loose, after she had it moving, as she left Church every Sunday! I delivered parts and saw it at one of the garages when I was delivering parts. I asked what it was there for and he said rear tires. It seems that she needed new rear tires about every three months. She complained that the tires weren't very good because they wore out so fast!

Car is awesome !! ha, 1980 and i take my long gone '69 Charger (383 magnum, 727, sure grip) out for a spin. I wind up next to a nice 442 similar to this at a stop light, point forward and the guy gives me a nod. Light turns green and we're off. We're about even mid way thru second gear for me and he looks at his friend, nails it, barks the tires and leaves me in the dust. When he punched it, i took a closer look and see The W-30 insignia. I didn't know what it was. Get home, take a closer look at a recently received Hot Rod magazine which featured Classic Muscle Cars and, yep, a W-30 was there. 'A 455 ?!?'. No wonder he blew me away. Thanks for the memory, Lou , i think ;).

I am what you would classify as a Mopar guy. I never have been able to explain it, but I have a strong love for Oldsmobiles. Maybe it's the fact that Olds Rallye wheels are the best looking factory wheel ever made. It could be that monster torque 455. It could be that gorgeous split grill or how the taillights are integrated into the bumper. The 1970 442 is my all time favorite non-Mopar and a top 5 favorite car, Mopars included. The owner is right. I can't think of a convertible I like better.

Goodday Lou, What a killer video. I think I am the biggest Oldsmobile fan in Australia. No one knows about them here in Australia, mention Oldsmobile & they think old people's car & nothing to do with muscle cars. My first 1:18 Diecast Model is a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W30 in Matador Red. Tom has impeccable taste in Muscle Cars & a Triple Black, 4 speed W 30 is up there with the best of them. I would sell my Mopar for a W 30. Oldsmobile under appreciated, under valued, & the first GM brand to put a big block in the new for 1968 A Bodies . Hurst Oldsmobile 445. Original gentleman's muscle car, not Buick but Oldsmobile. I just wished GM gave Oldsmobile a pony car like they did with Pontiac. Great great video, more Oldsmobile please. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

Please tell us the spotting feature(s).

Very very cool Lou! My Dad had a 69’, I believe it was, 442 w/a 455 automatic, but no W30. That was a pretty nice car too! That must’ve been close to 40 years ago when he had that! Geez, where does the time go?! Anyways, cool buddy! 👍👍🤘✌🏻! Oh yeah, I think whoever Dad got his 442 from, had put that 455 in it, I think originally it was a 350 car.?!?!

Well I have to admit that is one beautiful unit I had a '70 W-30 white with manual steering & breaks I had mine running 12:60's @ 102 m.p.h. in the quarter... Put the 328 duration camshaft Holly carburetor headers and top-cat tune kit..and a few tricks as well when the intake was off plugged the carb warmer with aluminum foil so the hot exhaust kept away from the carb. Those toe taps used up half tank of gas... ..

Wow Lou another outstanding unit! Really strange seeing him driving and owning this unit after I have seen him in so many outstanding Chrysler products. Really looked nice and looked like brand new. What a great find he has. Lou can you tell me what does W-30 mean? I cannot remember and was hoping you all would mention it and it's meaning. Sounded nice and I bet the ride along really was fun. Just a awesome piece of automotive history! Thanks for sharing Lou!

W-30 was a performance upgrade including the ram air hood, aluminum manifold, higher compression, dual side mirrors and side stripes. Power went from 365 to 370 ( wink, wink) and it kept up with 425 horse power Hemi's and 450 horse power Chevelle SS.

W-30 didn't "mean" anything like the meaning they gave to 442, it was just the code on the order sheet for the extra performance package.

Super Cool~!!

You can't go wrong with the triple black with the white trim. I would love some seat time in a four speed Olds. Especially that one.

Order of importance 442: 1970, W30, 4-Speed, Black, Convertible. The market love convertibles but GM manufactured Trans Ams with T-Tops, a more elegant configuration.

Hi, Lou! This triple black 442 W-30 is a real triple threat! Yeah, I think this could beat the Hemis, it's got everything you could ask for, and then some! The Holy Grail, just as Tom said! Too bad you and he couldn't do more than a little cruise around the block, but I didn't notice any cops on the beat! Thank you, Lou and Tom for this thrilling Rocket adventure in the baddest Olds on the planet! P.S. Just out of curiosity, what is a potbelly sandwich?

@@loucostabile Hi, Lou! Well, I checked out the Potbelly site and it turns out we have five locations in Boston and vicinity (two at Logan Airport). I went yesterday in the middle of the afternoon to our store in Burlington, MA. I told the girl at the counter how a KZread friend who is a classic car guy from Chicago told me about the place, and she was quite impressed. I had the meatball sandwich, a cup of chili, Doritos and a chocolate chip cookie. Great stuff, although I think I'll have to tone it down a bit on my next visit. Wouldn't want to come of there WITH a potbelly! LOL! Thanks for the tip, Lou, and ILL CYA later!

Wild to think that in 1980, this was just a 20 plus yr old car you could still go into an Olds dealer and buy up NOS parts, probably super cheap if u were lucky. Even more so if you found a dealer wanting to get rid of 20 year old parts to make room.....oh for the want of a time machine lol

You mean ten years old in 1980. But yes I used to by nos front fenders for less than 200. Ahh the good old days.

The ram air should be closed while it's running. Simple vacuum line fix.

Curious, I am wondering about a car my neighbor has/had. Quite a number of years ago my fuel gauge quit, causing me to run out of gas and so I knocked on my country neighbors door to see if he had a can he could lend me and I could pay him back. We went into his garage and I was blown away by what was in there. I don't know the year exactly but it looked like this car in the video. What I do remember is that it was a Hurst optioned W30 olds convertible with the dual scoops, blue paint with silver or gold pin stripping / trim, can't quite recall. It had white interior. I said to him that I had no idea that he even had it because I had never seen him drive it. He said that he barely ever took it out and that it had never been wet. It seemed to me that it only had around 400 miles on it. I moved away from there almost 40 years ago but have often wondered about it and if he still has it or not. He said he would sell his wife before he sold it lol. I wonder how rare of a car that actually was? I was more of a Ford man and at the time my own car was a 68 big block fastback Mustang.

Hi Dave, Selling the wife before a real 1970 Olds 442 W30 Convertible with 400 original miles on it is an easy decision. Bye bye as I drop the top and ride off into the sunset with a wide smile :-) Lou P.S. I'm sure my wife would make the right choice of the car too!
