Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this smooth 1967 Oldsmobile W-30 442. By the time 1967 arrived, the American muscle car wars were in full swing. Ford entered the ring with their Fairlane GT while Dodge bullied the pack with the Coronet R/T. Not to be outdone, Buick countered with the GS as Chevrolet claimed street superiority with the SS...while silently, Oldsmobile brought their own full bodied street slugger to the fight with the W-30 442. Approximately 500 W-30 442s were manufactured with only 129 being sport coupes. This '67 Olds was treated to a recent high quality restoration by a true Oldsmobile enthusiast and comes with full documentation including the original Protect-O-Plate. The correct 400 has been replaced by a fire breathing Olds 455 producing over 500hp and 600ft lbs of torque on the engine dyno. When you combine big block power with the original 4-speed M21 transmission and 3.91 gears, it's time to buckle up and hold on tight. Please note, the original carb, distributor, intake, water pump, and heads are on the current 455 while the standard bore 400 engine block, crank, and flywheel come with the purchase of the vehicle. This two-ton terror looks right, sits right, sounds right, and drives far better than it did coming off the assembly line. The current owner was a stickler for making sure every body panel gap, paint work, and final fit and finish were spot on and to his standards. Pop the hood to gaze at the engine bay and red inner fenders or take a peek underneath and you'll the witness same stringent attention to detail. The American Racing "Daisy" styled inspired wheels finish off the correct period look and front disc brakes bring things to a smooth stop. A timeless example of, "Show and Go," you can head out to the local car show and toss the trophy's you'll win in back just before driving over to the drag strip and leaving envious spectators with their jaws on the ground wondering what just happened. Olds enthusiasts pay attention because this one checks every box.

About Oldsmobile
Ah, Oldsmobile, the very name conjures up images of classic American automobiles and the open road. Let's embark on a leisurely journey through the annals of automotive history with this venerable brand.

Our story begins in 1897 when a man named Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. He wasn't the first to build cars, but he was a pioneer in mass production techniques. In 1901, Oldsmobile introduced the "Curved Dash" Olds, widely considered one of the first mass-produced automobiles in the United States. It was simple, reliable, and affordable, making it accessible to the masses.

Fast forward a few decades to the 1930s, and we encounter one of Oldsmobile's most iconic creations, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This was a car that not only looked cool with its sleek design but also packed a punch under the hood. The Rocket 88 featured a powerful V8 engine, earning it the nickname "the first muscle car." It was a true American classic, a car that epitomized the spirit of the open road and the freedom of post-war America.

As we approach the 1950s, Oldsmobile continued to innovate. The Oldsmobile Fiesta, introduced in 1953, was notable for being one of the first cars to feature a fully wraparound windshield, a design feature that would become a hallmark of the era. It also showcased the brand's commitment to luxury and style.

But perhaps the zenith of Oldsmobile's excellence came in the 1960s with the Oldsmobile 4-4-2, a car that was both sporty and practical. The 4-4-2 stood for 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was a muscle car for those who wanted power without sacrificing comfort. It was the embodiment of the American muscle car era.

Then there was the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a car that became an American institution. It was a family sedan, a sports car, and a luxury car all rolled into one. The Cutlass was reliable, comfortable, and versatile, making it one of the best-selling cars in American automotive history.

Sadly, as the years went by, Oldsmobile faced challenges, and the brand that had once been a symbol of American automotive innovation and excellence ceased production in 2004. It marked the end of an era.

But the legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the hearts of car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the classic American automobile. It's a brand that gave us some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, a brand that embodied the American dream of freedom, mobility, and style.

So here's to Oldsmobile, a name that will forever be associated with the golden age of American automobiles and the enduring spirit of adventure on the open road.
