Win the Ultimate 442 W30

Way back in 1967, a young Oldsmobile Test Track engineer named Dick Haas special ordered this ’67 442 W30, and it spent the first few months of its life as a High-Performance Test Car at General Motors’ Milford Proving Grounds. After loading this rare 442 W30 with every factory speed part in the order books, this black-on-black W30 factory drag racer campaigned in major NHRA events (with Haas behind the wheel), representing the Oldsmobile brand on and off the track.

It is one of two sequential test-track cars built specifically for NHRA racing in the Summer of 1967.

As is typical with muscle cars built specifically for NHRA stock class racing, this fantastic 442 W30 put its mileage on one-quarter mile at a time and today shows 32,000 original miles.

Thanks to the dedication of the original owner to preserve a significant chapter of muscle-car history, this is a fantastic muscle car that you will be proud to put in your garage and cherish forever.

1 of 129 W30 Sport Coupes Produced, Plus the W30 Option Explained

Oldsmobile produced 520 442 W30s in 1967, and, of those, 129 were sport coupes, which were favored by drag racers for their stiffer bodies and lighter weight.

Checking the W30 option off when ordering a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 upgraded the already potent muscle car with the ultimate performance package. Although on paper the 350-hp rating didn’t change from a standard 442, those who owned them back in the day will attest to the performance benefits of the factory W30 option.

That factory performance package is easily identified by its Force-Air air cleaner with tubes running to tapered scoops in the front grille. To accommodate the air-tube routing, the battery was mounted in the trunk.

For 1967, the W30 package added red inner fenders to the sporty looking 442. These fenders were factory installed on W-30 cars only, and were a good way to distinguish a W30 at a stoplight.

What you can’t see, but can definitely hear is the hotter camshaft and special valve springs that gave the W30 a street advantage over other 442s. A unique, hot-rodded Turbo 400 featured firmer full-throttle upshifts at higher engine speeds than standard TH400s.

The W30 featured a heavy-duty third member, and for drag racers, either a 3.90:1, and 4.33:1 rear gear. An Anti-Spin limited-slip differential was mandatory on W30 442s.
