2 Attachment(s)
Had one in the mid 80's, loved that car! It was a pretty basic W-30... auto, a/c and with a one legger rear. Car had around 80K orig miles and it ran very strong. Sitting at a stop light one afternoon I was rear-ended, V'd the rear bumper and deck lid, buckled the left quarter and damaged the rear body panel as well as some front end damage from me hitting the car in front of me. Made me sick! I sold it as is knowing it could never be the same.

Would love to see your car as well! Let me see if I can guide you through posting a photo... hit the reply button at the bottom of your post (or any post your replying to), when the post form pops up hit the blue highlighted 'File Manager' below the post box and to the right of Post Options, from there choose your photo(s) from your computer, then click the 'add file' button after each photo, then select the 'done adding files' button, then submit your post.
I hear ya... back then it was my daily driver for several months until that happened. |

Steve, that shade of green was actually used by all 4 divisions in 1972. Oldsmobile called it Radiant Green, Pontiac called it Julep Green, Buick called it Heritage Green, and Chevrolet called it Spring Green. I just saw a 72 Buick GS in Heritage Green at a car show last week, and a 72 Firebird in Julep Green at another show.
Some people call this color "Scope Green" after the famous mouthwash. Some people love it, some people hate it. I actually like it! |
Re: Lets see some '71 442 W-30's!
The GS and the 442 make me drool, especially.
Love that color. |

Here's some more old photos of the '71 I had... before the damage, after the damage and the last photo is from the 1989 Muscle Car Shootout/Car Show at Sacramento Raceway where I saw the car repaired and repainted. The owner added a wing on the deck lid as well. Was glad to see it again all fixed up!
