HISTORY: 1 owner until 2006. Robert Kabel had always raced Oldsmobiles; he knew the 70 W-30 would be the baddest Olds to date. He special ordered this car from the dealership his father once owned. The only power accessory was power windows which he wanted because he rode with his dog. He changed a few bolt on parts to go even faster but the engine has never been out of this car. After its racing days were over, he reinstalled the original parts. Every part is claimed to be born to this car except the alternator. He raced throughout WI and upper MI. He held the track record for 3 years in Eau Claire WI running 12.08 @ 112 mph. I quote him saying during my ownership until 2006 I took very good care of my car.

The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 represented a peak in the storied history of this iconic American muscle car. Building upon the success of its predecessors, the '70 model year saw a significant performance upgrade, making it one of the most desirable and potent machines of the muscle car era. It was a year of refined styling, formidable power, and undeniable road presence.
The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 is widely regarded as one of the greatest iterations of the nameplate. The introduction of the standard 455ci engine marked a significant step up in raw power, positioning the 442 as a serious contender in the muscle car wars against rivals like the Dodge Charger, Plymouth Barracuda, and Ford Mustang. The optional W-30 package, with its enhanced performance and aggressive styling, cemented its reputation as a bona fide street and strip machine.
While the muscle car era would soon face the challenges of stricter emissions regulations and rising insurance costs, the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 stands as a glorious testament to a time when performance and style were paramount, a true legend of American automotive history.
