Re: 1970 Olds 442 Pace Car - COPO?

Gm canada documentation will only break down cars sold in this countery by model number, not options. For example, they will show 100 1971 442 convertibles sold but cannot determine how many had the W30 option. You have to provide a specific serial number(as you have done). Data as to how many may have been sold with a specic option can only be done by extrapilation.
An example is what I have done on collecting data on the 110 1971 converts sold with W30, Canadas sales of converts is 110 out of 1304(the generally accepted number) Using the same base info w30 options went on 8.4% of converts. typically Canada sells 10% of production in a given model, this should indicate 8 or 9 cars were sold in canada as converts with the W30 option.
My research over 25 years of tracking down thses models has uncovered the following
1 sold new in BC
2 sold new in Newfoundland
3 sold new in Ontairo
2 sold new in Quebec.
Thats 8 and there may be one more I have not tracked down supporting the % theory.
