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,

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?.

442W30, Good intel. Not sure what you mean by "He's gonna pass because of it."

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

Think that car on the book cover is "Sebring Yellow".

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".....?

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.

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! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

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?
