1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass W-30 Convertible
Final Bid: $ 42,075.00 - Russo & Steele Auction Scottsdale 2008
This is a 1971 Olds Cutlass Convertible W-30, with an automatic transmission, 455 CI, 370 HP code TT, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, AM/FM radio, tape player, air conditioning, and a body-on restoration. This car is unusual in that it is a 1971 W-30 with a complete higher horsepower factory numbers matching motor that was probably remaining from 1970 production. This is possibly the only 1971 W-30 with a 1970 W30 motor. The uniqueness of this car could possibly make it the most desirable 1971 W-30 convertible in existence, in that the 1970 motor is a TT code 455 cid 370 HP Versus the 1971 specs as 455/350 HP the heads casting # is 409160 H and the intake identification is W-455 raised letter Oldsmobile. (The heads also are H coded 1970 W-30).
Oldsmobile aficionados have guessed that this car is the probable result of the low production of W-30's in 1970 and represents a leftover motor that was eventually put into production for the 1971 model year. There apparently was a heated debate at Oldsmobile to determine the W-30 option for 1971, because of the low production of 1970 models. They would also tell you that this motor, because of the matching number, was likely left over from 1970 production and was installed in this 1971 W-30 convertible. The car certainly represents a unique variance in a historically significant car.
