Default Re: 1970 W-30 convertible

Hey 442W30, have you ever seen the car I referred to in my earlier post-the ex Paul Mayo race car? That car is now owned by a friend of mine named Ron McHugh and his restored to a very high level. The reason I ask, is because the colors on this car and Ron's are somewhat unique. Ron's car has the blue stipe, which like the one pictured here has been the topic of several conversations. Ron's car is a stick, and has a history of NHRA titles and records. There can't be many '70 W-30 Conv. with that color scheme. It would be neat to have them both done up and shown together. I am unsure about the Dover Pace Car history here. I wonder how hard it would be to research that part of this car's past, and duplicate the lettering. Pricing on these upper-level cars can be unsure to say the least. Do you restore it as new? Do you restore it as raced or paced in this case? I own an original dealer raced car (pic below) that is not restored (and doesn't need to be) so that question is one that I won't have to ask myself.
The car here does deserve to be restored to a high level, and it is a special car in many ways. I wish good luck to the seller and the next owner/caretaker.
