Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
[ QUOTE ]
The guy bought it for 32 or so and is trying to flip it. He's gonna pass because of it. Would look better with gold stripes . . . [/ QUOTE ] 442W30, Good intel. Not sure what you mean by "He's gonna pass because of it." So, how do you 442/W30 gurus assess this car?

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
This car looks very nice. Only things that dont look original are the red inners,they are repops and the shifter handle from a certain angle looks like it is from the console application.
Alternator should be an open face unit for this year. This car was built the same date as a 70 w-30 I just acquired. I have a friend who has a Bamboo 70 w-30 with gold stripes and gold interior> his is all original.

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
Paul,
One thing I noticed was the washer jar on the left side. I've never had a 70 but wasn't the washer jar on the right side for non-AC 4 speed cars? This really is one of the nicest looking W30's I've seen (for sale) in a while. Wonder how good it looks in person? Joe

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
I can tell you i have done buisness with peter before and he is a stand up guy that has some quallity iron, take a look at the gsx he is selling also, w-30 looks great but i also think the alternator is wrong not sure about he liners, i have never seen a w-30 in that color, but it looks great with the steelies,

Re: "Gobi Beige" '70 W30
Sweet car...love the steelies too!.
Both my '69 and '70 442 Post cars were gold...if I just had've known what gold they really were, I'd be driving them into my golden years?. ~ Pete

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
