This incredible 1970 Oldsmobile 442 “W-Machine” is a three-owner car from new. While Robert “Rug” Kazley knew exactly what he wanted and ordered a W-30 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible at Fullerton, California’s Hansel Oldsmobile, he was forced to wait six months until March 4, 1970 to finally take delivery of his dream car.
Options specified by “Rug” included the W-30 455 cubic-inch engine, a four-speed manual transmission, 3.91:1 rear gears, and the extremely rare W-27 aluminum rear-axle carrier and housing cover. In fact, this 442 is the sole known example ordered new with the W-27 option, which was offered as a regular-production option only for 1970. Other items chosen by “Rug” included the Rally Package, 8-Track tape deck, and no floor console, with Galleon Gold paint, a white convertible top, white upholstery, steel wheels with “poverty” caps, and stripe delete. However, when the 442 was finally delivered to Hansel Oldsmobile, the car arrived with black side stripes anyway, consequently making the 442 a very rare three-color car.
