Vehicle Original VIN : 336870E203205
This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Holiday Hardtop is an impressively built machine. It has W-31 badging on it, but it's upgraded to beyond 442 status. After all, with a fuel-injected 455ci V8, the control of a five-speed, four-wheel disc brakes, an A/C interior, and much more, this is a sleek hardtop that leaves you wanting for nothing.
You'll love the paint the moment the sunshine hits this super-straight body. The restoration was completed in 2022, and this is a very well-done respray of the factory-correct Bamboo color. It's a high-quality respray with a smooth and glossy style that loves to radiate. The finish nicely represents the best speedy Oldsmobiles around that had both a luxury and performance personality. After all, the bright color also makes for a nice canvas to show off the car's dark side. The black side stripes help to highlight the flared fenders, the hood stripes show odd the ram air hood, and the blackout grille is just positively mean. There's even added darkness to modern upgrades like the LED headlights and 20-inch Weld Racing wheels. And the power car style continues with details like the hood locks, dual exhaust tips, and large rear spoiler. So it looks distinct, which is likely why it has the W-31 badging. We don't have proof that this is a true W-31 since those seem rarer than the 442 tributes. This specially upgraded coupe appears to earn a special designation like W-31.
All the black trim on the outside gets you ready for the full blackout presentation inside. Handsome bucket seats with an intricate button-top insert kick off a total package of premium and performance. You've got terrific classic pieces like the Olds performance steering wheel, a proper center console, and even correct Cutlass S badging. But you can also tell they made the right investments in upgrades. After all, the R134a air conditioning means you get to stay cool while looking cool in this hardtop. And the wood-like trim is traded for more modern carbon fiber. The Sniper EFI touchscreen controller and full Dakota Digital gauge package prepare you for something special under the hood. And have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter yet?
Under the hood is the mighty Olds 455 cubic-inch V8. It was the largest motor from the muscle car era, and as you look at this tidy setup, you'll see it goes beyond even 442-level power. That's because you have upgrades like an Edelbrock aluminum intake and long tube headers feeding the dual exhaust. Plus, the Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system means this big V8 has the best in power and consistency. There's plenty of great muscle, and now you get better ratios to enjoy it thanks to the upgraded five-speed manual transmission. As you look underneath, the clean undercarriage makes it easy to see upgrades like the sports springs, boxed rear arms, rear sway bar, and 12-bolt W-27 diff cover. And it is a sharp all-around driver with features like power steering, Hydroboost power brakes, and Wilwood four-wheel discs with drilled & slotted rotors.
This fresh restoration of a hardtop is so awesome it defies any traditional labels. So if you want a mean luxury power machine, this Olds is it. Call now!
