Car Review & History of the '67 Olds 442 W-30 Dream Giveaway Grand Prize Factory Drag Racer!

[@charleswoods6576]

My favorite car.

[@richardkoch8752]

I was the happiest 17year old in town. I had a five year old Olds 67 442. It is by far the most favorite car I have ever owned. (56 Chevy, 1969 442, 69Chevelle, 71 Olds 442, 73 Cutlass, 76 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ with the Hurst Hatch Roofs) My 67 was black vinyl roof/white body. 400CI engine, Turbo Hydramatic 400 Trans. It kicked butt! It was in perfect condition when I bought it, only in the 60K mile range........paid a whole $550.00 for it from the local Lincoln/Mercury Dealer. It got totaled one night by my drunk elderly neighbor. I replaced it with a 1973 Cutlass with a electric pop-up sunroof. Had to get back for my "need for speed" and bought the My understanding for 67 that 442 stood for 400CI, 4Barrel Carb (Carter), Dual Exhaust. The tamer Cutlass with same body style had just a mildly tamer 330CI engine with a Turbo Hydramatic 350 Trans. I believe there was also a F85 Model but I forget what it was exactly. I was inspired by my cousin who had the true 1965 442, 400CI, 4speed, dual exhaust. It was a screamer.

Me too. My dad bought it brand new and gave it to me in 1971. Only difference, mine was very light yellow with a red pin stripe. Yes, they were beasts.

Such a rare and awesome car with a great history. Personally, I think she's dying to have some redline tires on her. :)

Yes i had a 1967 442.. it was in the red color.. kind of a dark red.. it had the vented hood but i was. Only 16.. i didnt know what i had.. so im not sure if it was a W30 or not.. It had the floor shifter.. quick klick.. The car was nice. Im one of the guys that says ..i wish i would have held on to that car..!! It was very fast..!! It seems like the speedo said 160.. im not sure.. maybe wrong. Maybe someone that knows much more could coment..

[@jesse75]

Why was it called a W -30 ?

[@markg7030]

It was an engine upgrade including a hotter cam, valve springs and cold air induction in 67. I think it had an electronic ignition as well but I'm not sure if that was part of the W- 30.

Four, Four, Two

Olds SDG

[@jasenrothe3595]

I'm hearing you say 4 -42 instead of 4-4-2, and it makes me want to stop watching

[@rickleonard2936]

It’s definitely cringe worthy for sure

[@jdamedeo]

I agree. I can’t stand when people say four forty two

[@funvic]

I'm going to try a new strategy... Eww! Gross! I DON'T want to win this car! Yuck!

[@DreamGiveaway]

LOL!

[@TheGeneral-j8q]

rich people win things in this so called charity.....never ever a blue collar 40 grand a year guy

[@DreamGiveaway]

We never know who it will be; over the years we've had retired people, disabled vets, a pickle salesman, retired steel mill worker, corrections officers, truck drivers and more. It's an electronic random ticket selected by an independent agency- so it can be anyone out of who enters.
