The W-30 hit it’s performance peak and included a balanced and blueprinted 455 V8 with a hotter cam, performance carb, low restriction exhausts and the Force Air induction system which utilized two prominent scoops on the hood. The W-30 package also included a lightweight fiberglass hood, plastic inner fenders, aluminum differential carrier and cover, and less sound insulation in an attempt to cut weight and improve performance.

This particular car is one of 247 made with the 350 hp 455 V-8 and factory four-speed with Hurst Shifter and 3.73 rear end. All numbers matching.

It is widely believed this car started its life as the original GM auto show display car in 1971 to showcase their “top of the line” muscle street killer for 1971.
