Always translating to performance, the 4-4-2 offered more luxury than most other GM musclecars of the day, plus “full-sized” styling. The W-30 option embodied the peak of performance. It included a balanced and blueprinted 455 with a hotter cam, performance carburetor, low-restriction exhaust and the Force Air induction system, which utilized two prominent scoops on the lightweight fiberglass hood. In an attempt to cut weight and improve performance, the W-30 package included less sound insulation.
Powered by the top W-30 455-cid V-8 engine, this very desirable Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Convertible is equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, power steering, bucket seats, center console, power windows, pushbutton radio with rare accessory 8-Track player and engine dress-up kit. It continues to display a quality older repaint in red with white stripes, and is in highly presentable overall condition.
