Summary:
Used 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Gold
Location:
Bloomfield, NJ
Description:
By the beginning of the 1970 model year in fall 1969, the muscle car wars, and their performance, was reaching their pinnacle. GM recently lifted their 400 cubic inch maximum in mid-sized bodies, which allowed for the now legendary big cube A-body monsters like the LS6 454, Stage 1 455, 455 HO, and arguably the most fabled of them all: the W-30 455.With a fun marketing campaign with characters like Dr. Oldsmobile, it didn't take long for word to hit the street about fire-breathing 442 known as the W-30. For a young racing enthusiast like Bob Kabel, Oldsmobile's new W-30 442 was just what the doctor ordered…In 1968, Bob's father wrapped up the sale of his Kabel Olds dealership to Birginal Motors in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Located across the street from eachother, selling to Birginal was the logical choice to keep all the GM brands under one roof. Part of the sale included an agreement that members of the Kabel family could purchase cars from Birginal at cost. Growing up at an Oldsmobile dealership, Bob was aware of the mighty 455 now powering the 442 for 1970. In September 1969, Bob stopped down to Birginal Motors to place his order for a new 442. In addition to the 442 option, Bob inquired about the W-30 option he'd read about. At $321 (about $2,500 today), Bob knew the option was far more valuable than the vastly underrated 5 additional horsepower in the brochure. The salesman said the W-30 was indeed available, and their meeting continued with Bob further customizing his 442 exactly the way he wanted it:· Special order Nugget Gold paint (notice the - - paint color on the cowl tag) and black interior· 4-speed close ratio Muncie transmission· 3.91:1 Anti-Spin rear· No power steering· A bench seat (Bob says “For the ladies…”)· Power windows (For Bob's dog)
