Default 1970 442 pace car

I picked this up this week it is a 1970 442 pace car. I really do not know much about these and I have not been able to find a registry for them. Does any one know of a registry or what would be the Oldsmobile forum to join. I am really not sure what I am going to do with it yet
need to do some research.Thanks

The two track cars in 1970 weren't badged W-30, however, they included W-30 parts such as the OW trans, F heads, W-455 intake, etc.

Are you located in West Chicago? I'm in Naperville. Your car looks pretty solid.

Kevin Coffey "manages" a registry for the 1970 pace cars. There's also a list floating around with the VINs of the track cars if you think your car was at Indy. I have a copy of the list saved on my PC if you need it.

Best of luck with the restoration.
