72 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 W30 Tribute

I am listing this 1970 Cutlass 442 W30 Tribute for a friend who lost his battle with cancer last year. He was one of the best electricians that I know and an avid Oldsmobile enthusiast and do it your selfer. This car was his baby and David spared no expense as he restored it from the bottom up.

David also had many other parts not included in this sale that will be up for grabs. So if you are looking for a super clean mostly rust free 68 F85 Cutlass,or an engine, trans, rear, black interior or any other 68-72 Cutlass trinkets let me know or come and look and make us and offer for everything.EngineThe fresh and robust 455 was built by a machine shop in Rochester NY.
