Re: W-30 - They're still out there!
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.

Re: W-30 - They're still out there!
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...
