Cruising the above Ads again including mileage noted in some, all but the one from 09/69 w/ 400 powered 442 may actually be for the Mr. Jones car?
Looking forward to the videos etc but being a past owner of a few W-Post cars, would love to hear/see more of your user name 69W31Post!

Good morning. Yes I'd tend to agree with you. Seems that maybe our car was ordered loaded up and just wasn't a strong seller.
Regarding my F-85 W-31, we have done many videos on and about that car on our channel. If you haven't seen them, I'd like to humbly ask that you take a peak. Some of these topics include, how I came about buying it at 15 years old AND ( this is a big one) we towed it to Florida in April to trace it's history..... It's a 3 part video series. We are so proud of
We met the original owner at the building that was the dealership on the 55th Anniversary of him buying it new. - we made the front page of the Tallahassee paper with that one-!
the 2nd and 3rd parts are just as cool!
I can try and post links to these videos or just look at The Auto Refinery on YouTube and look for that 3 part series . I'd be so honored and appreciative to hear your opinion.
Truth be told, the Mr.Jones project is only some of what we have on our plates over here.
thanks again and looking forward to hearing back after you've checked out some of those stories.
Happy Friday!
-steve

Quite a few 74’s but three below the only ‘73 SD Ads I saw advertised in NY pre 1980, the 10/77 + 06/79 Ads both appear to be Long Island but 04/78 Buffalo Ad may be one you’re referring to?
Love to hear of any more WNY cars you remember also cool you lived behind Delaware Motors, do you recall ever seeing any SuperBirds there?

Yes the 73 4spd is my car. That’s the guy I bought it from a 1978.
1973 TA SD455 Red 4spd black deluxe interior and loaded . Here’s a pic a month after getting it home

Cool the 04/78 Ad is your SD, were the Formula Super Stocks added or already on it?
Again, that’s all I saw for ‘73 SD’s but also have lots of ‘74 SD Ads saved I’ll post later.

Here’s a bunch of pre 1980 WNY GTO Judge Ads in chronological order, more to come.
LMK if anything needs expanding/worth digging deeper into/other WNY cars to look for.

Yes, those tires were on it when I bought it and we ended up putting them on a 74 Admiral blue 4 Spd Super Duty that my brother bought and I put a set of original Firestone with the rally twos off of another 73 Trans Am on the Super Duty
Here it is about five years later, at my brother’s wedding in North Buffalo about two blocks from the Delaware sports car lot .

Yes, please share the 74 Super Duty ads. I may know of some of those a lot of the cars I bought were out of the local swap sheet, which is probably not online.
I don’t recognize any of the judges, but they’re so generic of ads , It’s tough to say and there was a 69 green convertible judge up in the Rochester area, so that’s probably the ad for that one.
