442W30, Good intel. Not sure what you mean by "He's gonna pass because of it." [/ QUOTE ] Missing out on a car and then padding the pockets of a dealer is not what he wants to do. By the way, many people say they've never seen a car this color before. What about the car on the cover of the "442 Resto and ID Guide"? http://www.amazon.com/Oldsmobile-4-4-2-W...TF8&s=books

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
Did notice one more thing, the right fender appears to have been replaced (71-72 style), the picture showing the left fender is too fuzzy to tell.
It does say "all original panels".....? Joe

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
I did not look at the trim tag. Does anyone know what time of year it was built? Dave H was talking about inventory control (or lack of it) especially toward the end of the model year. Could be that it was a late build and some of the '71 fenders were close by and put on??? I love the look of steelies, but with the w-30 stripes on the car, you weren't fooling anyone! Put on some SS II's with some Wide Ovals and get the party started!

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
So were the W27 diff cover and painted sport mirrors add ons? Or would these have not necessarily been called out on the broadcast sheet?

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
The W-27 diff cover was a 'dealer add-on' and if my memory serves me correct, the sport mirrors were part of the 442 model.

Think that car on the book cover is "Sebring Yellow". [/ QUOTE ] No it is not. Here's why: 1) Sebring Yellow is MUCH yellower. 2) The car on the cover used to be in Otis Chandler's collection, and I know for a fact his car was Bamboo.

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
Hmm, Sounds like you know the car better than I do for sure. I could swear that cover car was for sale on Hemmings.com or some such site within the last 2 or three years & thought the ad said it was the cover car and it was Sebring Yellow.
But sounds as though I am mistaken. Joe
