There was a feature in musclecar review with a pile of info regarding the student project. Within the last 12 months I think.

A 69 442, with a 400 engine, would be a W30 option. The Cutlass with the 350 engine was a W31 option. That's a Cutlass in the photo.

Taking a closer look at the photo, it could be a 442. I can't zoom in enough. It's a ram air option for sure. I can see the scoops under the bumper. Good luck.

As someone has already mentioned, there is a great article on this car in a recent issue of Muscle Car Review.

Cool. My brother bought a 68 442 W30, new, from Anderson Olds. Dave Siltman ( his dad ran Anderson Olds) is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Olds history. He races the 69 W31 from Anderson, originally driven by Sonny Freeman.

I talked to Dennis Kline today . He was one of the original Student Racers that raced this Oldsmobile . They have been looking for this car for over a year , and they follow up on all the leads that come their way . It would be great if the Class Racer community could help these guys track down information on this car , and possibly where it is .
