1969 Oldsmobile W31 - Ram Air - 4spd NO RESERVE This is one of Dr. Oldsmobiles factory W-Machines. 1969 Olds Cutlass S, factory W31 - Forced Ram Air Induction, Factory 4spd, documented Numbers Matching, build sheet, dealer shipping order, Dealer Car invoice from Mitchell Motors, Atlanta, Georgia. This car was special ordered from the factory in Ebony Black & Topaz (AG). This is probably the only one ordered in this color combination, the original owner, had it special ordered in this combination, great color scheme. Oldsmobile only built 931 units for 1969. Of those only 106 were Cutlass Sport Coupes (3677). Another rare thing about his W31, is that it came as a Cutlass S (Supreme) Post, and was ordered with a Factory 4spd. We are not sure out of those 106 cars built were S post models and were Factory 4spds, probably a pretty low number. This car is numbers matching, and has correct rearend (TM), documentation is everything on a car like this, it proves what it is, which if you know much about W cars then documentation is of utmost importance. The condition of this W31 is very nice. It shows well, and drives excellant. This car went through a mild restoration in the early 1990's, and has held up very nice. The body panels all fit very nicely, as you can see from the pictures. The paint is in very good shape, and has a very nice gloss, and is very straight when you look down the sides of the car. There are few minor chips on the car, but you really have to look close to notice. Not many cars are worthy of wearing black, this W31 body is very nice, and is proud in its factory Ebony Black and Topaz Roof. With that said, the paint is older and not perfect, but looks very nice, and will show very nice at local cruise ins, and local shows. The Chrome on this car is in very good shape, and does show nicely. The floors and trunk area are all very solid, and no signs of any rust repairs. You will see minor surface rust underneath the car and various components, pretty typical of a car that has been driven and enjoyed, with that said this car is what I would call a rust free car. The interior is in great shape, not perfect but in good shape. The seats do not have any rips or tears, there is slight wear on the fronts, but nothing major. The headliner is not torn, and looks to be original. Door panels are original, the drivers side at the bottom has some wear marks from getting in and out of the car, and the bottom edges are worn through a little. The dash pad is excellant. All the gauges seem to be working, but aftermarket gauges were installed years ago, underdash for more reliability. It has a Rare, Factory AM/FM Radio in it that works excellant. The steering wheel is in great shape, no cracks, horn works. All the glass is in good shape, no chips or cracks. The interior lights all work and dash lights work. The heater and fan switch are in working order as well. Overall, the interior is clean, none smoker, it is very pleasant inside for a vintage vehicle. The trunk area is in very nice shape, no signs of any repairs or rust issues. Inside the quarters are very clean, even down inside were the truck drop off and bottom of the quarters meet. Underneath the truck lid is clean as well, no rust issues under the lip, all the door jams are in clean shape as well. All the exterior lights work as well, even the marker lights on the qaurters. Mechanically this car is in excellant shape. As I mentioned before this W31 is Numbers Matching, meaning the engine, transmission and rearend are the original ones that were put in the car in 1969 at the Oldsmobile factory. The engine has its original VIN stamp, the M20 4spd Transmission has its original VIN stamp, and the rearend has its original TM stamping. The original scoops have been restored in the last couple years, and work well, you can really hear them sucking under the car, in the video I show you can hear them some. The engine starts right up, no problems, idles nicely, and has very good throttle response. It does not burn any oil or blow any blue smoke, this is a car that you can jump in and drive pretty much anywhere. The clutch is in very good shape, no chatter, no slipping. Gears all feel very smooth and tight. The car has factory Drum brakes all the way around, W31 cars for 1969 all had drum brakes. They work good, and stop this car very nice. The tires are Firestone Redlines, with black wheels and poverty caps. This W31 originally came with Olds SSII wheels, which would look very nice on it as well, we do not have those original wheels. The exhaust is in good shape, and sounds good. Overall mechanically it is in good shape, just needs general undercarriage detailing and such. Overall a nice clean DOCUMENTED - W31 very hard to find them in this condition. It is NOT a trailer queen, but it is a very nice car, that you would not be afraid to drive, but would also want to park it far away from anyone else in a general parking lot.

Blue Oval Ranch Inc. - 503-910-2085 On May-08-11 at 22:57:37 PDT, seller added the following information:Thank You for all the questions either by email, and phone calls that I took this week on the W31. Auction ends tonight, and will not end the auction early, it will go to the end, NO RESERVE. I have had various offers, wanting me to end the the auction early, but decided to let it run, to be fair to everyone. Here are just a few things to note. The car has headers on it, we have Olds 350 exhaust manifolds for it. The rear tips are correct for a W31, notice how they dump down under the rear bumper. We also have 69 olds front coil springs for standard height, the ones currently in the car, are lowered about an 1", the rear is regular height. The car is a Cutlass S, S is for Sport, not Supreme, I accidently put that. Most everyone knows these W31 cars were not built on the Supreme trim. These cars were built to be light, and fast, and most were used for racing. Anyways, if you have any other questions please email or give me a call, I would be glad to help. This is a very rare car, and is a Documented, Numbers Matching W31. Thanks, Jason 503-910-2085
