|  "Gobi Beige" '70 W30 
			
			This caught my eye as I had never seen this color (code 50) on a '70 442 let alone a  W30 .  Looks fine with the dog dishes.  Don't know my 442s so I can't speak to correctness.  Am sure Dr. Olds had a classy name for this color. Enjoy.

			That's "Bamboo" in Olds-speak.  A couple of shades darker was "sandalwood".  Classy woody plant theme that year.     |

			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 . . . |

			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.

			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 |
