1980 OLDSMOBILE 442 W30. NEEDS TOTAL RESTORATION. COMPLETE ORIGINAL POWERTRAIN ( 350 2 BLOCK, 3A HEADS, 350 TURBO TRANS) PARTIAL RESTORATION 2006 OR 2007. WAS SEVERLY DAMAGED IN 2008 HAIL STORM. EVERY BODY PANEL HAS DAMAGE INCLUDING WINDSHIELD. T-TOPS ARE GOOD, BUT LEAK. INTERIOR IS COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL, BUT IN BAD SHAPE. THE ONLY NON-ORIGINAL PART ON CAR IS THE SEATS. LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE OUT OF A RED 1980 CUTLASS SUPREME. ENGINE HAS HAD RECENT REBUILD, BUT LEAKS WATER INTO CRANKCASE. I REPLACED INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS, BUT IT DIDNT FIX IT. MIGHT BE CRACKED BLOCK OR HEADS. ENGINE WILL RUN. ORIGINAL ROCHESTER M4MC 4 BBL HAS BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED BY HOLLEY VACUUM SECONDARY SQUARE BORE, WITH INTAKE ADAPTER. ORIGINAL CARB IS IN PIECES IN TRUNK, ALONG WITH A LOT OF SPARE CUTLASS SUPREME PARTS. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THE CAR SO I CANT ACCURATELY COMMENT ON CONDITION OF TRANS OR REAREND. ORIGINAL OLDS 14" HONEYCOMBS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. CAR IS ACCURATE. HURST SHIFTER IS NOT AVAILABLE IN 1980. PREVIOUS OWNER SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING, HE SENT A LOT OF TIME ON ENGINE AND PAINT. MUST HAVE BEEN A SHAME TO LOSE IT IN A HAIL STORM. THIS IS A VERY RARE COLLECTOR'S CAR. ONLY 886 WERE BUILT 540 WERE BLACK AND GOLD, THE REST WERE WHITE AND GOLD. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. THIS IS NOT SOME KIDS HOT ROD. AND I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR HOW YOUR OLD 442 WAS BETTER THAN A G BODY.
