"Gobi Beige" '70 W30 - Page 2

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!

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?

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".

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.

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.
