Wow. There are only approx 25 of the 96 examples which are known to have docs. Very rare find. Burgundy Mist is same as Black Cherry for 1970.

Only 96 with three pedals and an extra 40hp over the automatics.

IMHO shops which do not advise customers options for preservation etc are not looking out for the vehicle owners interests. There are many many furniture refinishing companies which have ruined 250,000 - 1,000,000 pieces of furniture by refinishing them. When the owners find out they spent a $1000 to make their $250,000 piecrust table into a $75,000 table they are not very happy...

I know someone with the engineering hp charts from Oldsmobile and you'd be surprised at the hp difference - it was nowhere near 40 hp stock.

With headers? I think you may be onto something....

Wow. What a find... congrats to the owner. Hopefully he goes the preservation route with it!!!
