Real W-31, documented, 32,940 miles, 2 owners!

Highly documented, #s matching real W-31 with only 32,940 actual miles! 2 owners most of it's life. It has 2 build sheets, sales contract, protect-o-plate, Canadian import letter, indisputable GM of Canada verification and more. 2 friends fell in love with this car sitting new on the showroom floor. Both applied for credit, only 1 was approved. He bought the car and owned it until 1988 when he decided to let his friend that missed out out 18 years earlier have it. At that time, it had 18,000 miles. In 1992 it was judged at an Olds Nationals in all original condition and it scored 991/1000 points. The 2nd owner kept it and cherished this car until 2020. We bought it from the 3rd owner.

EXTERIOR: All original metal in amazing shape. No rust, damage, bubbles, or issues. The original ram air hood has no cracks. The gaps are square and flush, doors shut with 1 finger. Original 1970 only sport mirrors. Original code 75 Matador Red car. Repainted only 1 time, it was keyed at a car show 10 years ago. The jambs are still original look great. I believe the weatherstrips are original and they are also excellent. It is polished smooth and glossy. The stripes are painted correctly. All the chrome and trim are still in great shape. It still has its original Jack Carter dealer emblem on the trunk. Original glass including the windshield. It still has all four original T-3 headlights. Included are its original red steel rims with poverty caps and original Polyglass tires. Now it's dressed up with chrome 15 inch SS1 wheels and some meaty size white letter tires.

INTERIOR: All original except the bucket seats were reupholstered, the original upholstery is included and actually looks great. Door panels are excellent. The dash area and steering wheel is mint. A tic-toc-tachometer was added. It has original radio and a rear defogger. Original carpet and floor mats are still excellent. The original seatbelts are mint. The headliner, visors are mint, it has an Olds vanity mirror. It's a very tidy, unabused interior!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: #s matching original motor has never been out of this car. Olds squeezed some extra horsepower out of the 350 by blueprinting the rotating assembly, giving it a hotter cam, newly designed #6 heads, H.D. valve springs, 10.5:1 compression, a lightweight aluminum intake, a special calibrated 750 carb and ram air induction. They were under rated at 325 hp and 360 lbs of torque. This one is very original, recently the original plug wires were replaced, and the original carb was rebuilt. The ram air system is original and complete. It has power steering. Power brakes were not available because of the hot cam didn't produce enough vacuum. It's a very clean and complete motor compartment. The heat riser tube is in place, correct hoses and clamps, squirters are hooked up, assembly line ink stamps are still on the firewall, underhood lamp works.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's a time capsule, original and complete. The original red paint under the trunk lid and the jamb is excellent. It still has original stickers and weatherstrip in excellent shape. Inside has never been spray painted, it's original paint in mint shape. It has original felt mat and optional rubber mat. The spare has an original tire, the jack assembly is complete. The trunk light works.

UNDERSIDE: It has the ride and handling package which includes boxed rear control arms, front and rear sway bars. The shocks and springs were replaced. It has disc brakes in front, e-brake assembly is hooked up. Dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Looking up at the motor it's clean. #s matching trans. Unique to the W-31 is a special built JO code Turbo 350 automatic. It came with higher valve body pressure, higher stall speed and a 6 clutch design. Most W-31s came with 3.42 rear end gears. This one has its original 3.91 posi with H.D. axles and an aluminum W-27 cover was added. Rock solid all original floors, braces, rockers etc.

Only 1,352 W-31s were made total. It's rarer than the W-30 of which 3,100 were made. I feel this is one of the best, most desirable examples in existence. Whether you have a collection or looking for 1 special car, this one will make you very glad you bought it! I love this car, I'm a fool for letting go of it.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
