Melanson Motors is proud to offer this stunning 1972 Oldsmobile 442 W30. The 442 W30 was one of the last holdouts of the muscle car era. Insurance companies were raising premiums for high performance vehicles, and Federal emissions and safety standards were becoming stricter. While most muscle cars had started to disappear, the top level Oldsmobile still had a lot to offer muscle car buyers! The W30 455ci V8 engine produced 300hp and 410 ft-lbs of torque. Only 772 W30 cars were produced in 1972, with only 279 of them being 4-speed cars. This particular W30 is one of the 279 4-speeds produced! It retains its matching numbers engine and matching numbers transmission. It also has the W30 correct TM code positraction rear end.
This Oldsmobile is presented with a Red Exterior and White stripes. The original paint color was Saddle Bronze. The interior was optioned with White Bucket seats. The interior is in great condition and features an AM/FM Radio and 8-track player. In addition to the High Performance 455 V8, the W30 package includes a Rochester 4 barrel carburetor, dual exhaust, Force-Air fiberglass hood, aluminum intake manifold, heavy duty radiator, special paint scheme, front disc brakes, Posi traction rear end, heavy duty front and rear springs, and rear suspension control arms. The rarest option was the 4 Speed Muncie M20 (wide ratio) of which only 279 W30s were ordered.
This W30 sounds, performs, and feels as it should! It starts easily, runs smooth, and drives well. Some upgrades have been performed for reliability and performance. The ignition system has been upgraded to an MSD electronic ignition (the original distributor comes with the car), long tube headers have been installed with a 3 inch exhaust and flowmaster mufflers giving the car a great sound (the original manifolds come with the car). A high performance pro-torque starter has also been installed. The car sits on 15 inch Super Stock I wheels wrapped in Firehawk Indy 500 tires.
This is an incredible opportunity to purchase an excellent, rare, numbers matching example of an Oldsmobile 442 W30!
