I think the color combo is desirable '71, along with Viking Blue.

I think Viking Blue would be a more desirable color option for most people. Although to each his own. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I'm trying to be objective, and that gold is universally popular with GM folks. :twocents:

Colored SS111 actually code N67 appeared in 1972. The wheels on the car pictured should be a darker type gray.

Re: 1971 W30 4 speed Convertible sold at auction
 

SSIII wheels first appeared in '71, so if the year of their debut is the issue, then the car is correct.

Re: 1971 W30 4 speed Convertible sold at auction
 

I stand corrected, and you are indeed right. Introduced in 1971 was SSlll----available as painted body color. I apologize for my mistake.

As for the Rallye350 and the PaceCars, those color coded wheels were part of the entire option that was a Rallye350 or PaceCar.

That was pretty big money for a 71 color option similar to mine. Did not say if it was a M-22 4 speed car like my 71. I am surprised they did not mention the M-22 rock crusher was a one year only option for the 442. Lee

I thought all W-30s were M22s? Or were there W-20s too?
