Very nice!

I was just driving through my neighborhood and came upon, what appeared to be, a yellow / black 1971 442 W30 convertible. It had the W27 rearend installed and it sounded pretty nice. I say it appeared to be a 442 only because it didn't have the rear bumper cut outs for the trumpet exhaust tips; I suspect it's a clone but, I'm no expert.

Dave,

All 442's '70-'72 should have the special bumper with exhaust cut outs. The W27 rear was an option in 1970 only and had a 12 bolt cover. There was also a cover only available for both the 12 bolt for 1970 and 10 bolt for 1971, from the dealer.

I think there were some low-po '72s that didn't receive the notched rear bumper. :twocents:

Your right. I had some 72s with and without.
