    Come along with us on the First part of The Big Trip.
    Something brother Steve has been dreaming about since the early days of owning his '69 F85 W-31. Over years of ownership, research, phone calls, documentation filing, dead ends, limited info 55 years later to the day we find ourselves in Tallahassee FL meeting the Original owner of The OG at the Original Selling dealership on the day he purchased the car brand new! A once in a lifetime experience and bucket list item achieved!
    Follow along for Part 2 and Part 3! Make sure to check out our previous videos giving some history on Steve's W-31 and our other projects we have going on.

    Whenever it becomes a sports bar, it should be built with an automotive theme. A few Oldsmobiles on display, car couches, vintage GM parts and empty vintage GM chemical cans etc.

      Good morning. I took a look at your car. wow, that is just gorgeous. I would love to have a talk sometime about the very original owner and what he was all about. I have always been interested in learning more about what type of person bought what type of car. This was a very specific purchase.

    What mufflers are on the car?

    • @theautorefinery
      @theautorefinery  3 месяца назад

      Hello again, I actually get asked that a lot. That car runs Hooker Super Comps, and has a complete American Thunder series Flowmaster system that's probably close to 30 years old.
      H Pipe, 2 1/2 " with 40 series mufflers.

    And 2 w30 they are to be driven but my machine shop stays busy with
    Ruined scared to drive engines that a good drive could have prevented trips in excess 300 miles 4 times a year is best .. cant fix stupid

    • @theautorefinery
      @theautorefinery  3 месяца назад

      Wow You have a W-31 and Two W-30's ? That's great stuff!!!
      Would love to learn more about them.
      Yes, I tend to agree, we drive these things as much as we can. Just did a nice 80 mile ride with a few of them on Saturday as a matter of fact.
      However, trailering from NY to Fla. and back but driving the W-31 all around each town we were at was the absolute right decision - no doubt about it.
      2700 miles on the truck round trip in 10 days.
      Thanks for watching and please feel free to email us some pictures of your W cars if and when you can.
      Thanks so much
