AUWrestling is Matt I believe.. he would know precisely . IIRC he was involved directly with Tom on that.

1969 Boss black 429 Mustang
 

It left western New York in 2013. It was sold as a used car at Delaware sports car used car dealer in Buffalo in the early 70s on Delaware Avenue between Hertel and Tacoma. I lived behind the lot on the next street.

Cutlass W-31
 

WOW What a great thread! Some very cool stuff. I'd like to share that we are resurrecting a 1969 Cutlass W-31 bought new in Camden NY at Walters Chevy/Olds. Originally Saffron and completely loaded with options. We have aptly named the car "Mr. Jones" after the original owner, Robert Jones from Oneida NY who purchased it new while in the Navy. Maybe someone recalls the car or Bob Jones? (I know, very common name).
also, for those interested , there's a ton of videos on this project on our YouTube channel, The Auto Refinery.
Looking forward to more stories on this thread.

yes yes ! smallblockhero This car "Mr.Jones" was originally sold new in NY and is back in NY with me undergoing its' major reconstruction. Thank You so much for taking the time to watch some of our videos. We really do appreciate that!!

WOAH!!!!!!!! This newspaper advertisement is amazing!!!! I called Joe this morning with the news of seeing this post !!!!
As I write this, I am texting with one of the sons of the owner of that dealership - Walters Chevy - Olds. !!!! He tells me that his father loved to "check all the boxes" when ordering these cars. He also mentioned that their dealership was known for the high performance cars that they stocked.
That said, there are some oddities regarding the dates of purchase of our car. While the car was built 4th week of March 1969, and the POP was dated 4/8/69, that POP was not mailed to Robert Jones at the Long Beach Naval Base ( attn. USS FIRM) until 1970 after he purchased it as a new car on 6/19/1970. and that envelope is actually post marked Aug. 20, 1970.
Also ,we do have a typed up invoice from this dealership on 1970 letter head listing every single option the same way they're all listed in this advertisement.
But I guess that without a Vin# listed or even a color, we can only assume that this ad is for our car and that it may, in fact, had been used for a demo until our very own Mr. Jones purchased this car. Unfortunately, the real Mr Jones passed away right around the time my brother purchased the car and therefore we were never able to maker contact with him directly for any specific information.
We are so very thankful that you took the time to locate that ad and to post it. You have done this in the past for me for my '69 F-85 W-31 from Courtesy Olds in Tallahassee Fla.
THANK YOU!! We are always - and I mean always - on the hunt for new information regarding our cars. We absolutely love this stuff!!!

If all options the same, it’s doubtful there was another W31 exactly equipped?
Here’s one Ad from 03/70, the 442 part or W31 a mistake also whoever was creating Walters’ Ads seems to have got the 442 and W31 mixed up in some of their other Ads too.
I'll look deeper and post anything more I see that’s relevant also please ask the Dealer’s son if he wants to search any specific cars or salesman names he remembers.
