"Gobi Beige" '70 W30

[mockingbird812]

This caught my eye as I had never seen this color (code 50) on a '70 442 let alone a W30 . Looks fine with the dog dishes. Don't know my 442s so I can't speak to correctness. Am sure Dr. Olds had a classy name for this color.

Enjoy.

That's "Bamboo" in Olds-speak. A couple of shades darker was "sandalwood". Classy woody plant theme that year.

Very nice W30! Wish I had the extra cash.....

I have to get a set of those steelies for mine. Maybe some day.

Very cool.

WOW!

The guy bought it for 32 or so and is trying to flip it. He's gonna pass because of it.

Would look better with gold stripes . . .

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

So, how do you 442/W30 gurus assess this car?

This car looks very nice. Only things that dont look original are the red inners,they are repops and the shifter handle from a certain angle looks like it is from the console application.
Alternator should be an open face unit for this year. This car was built the same date as a 70 w-30 I just acquired.
I have a friend who has a Bamboo 70 w-30 with gold stripes and gold interior> his is all original.

Got to love those W30's!!!
I had a SX that color. Its a strange color for sure.

Paul,

One thing I noticed was the washer jar on the left side. I've never had a 70 but wasn't the washer jar on the right side for non-AC 4 speed cars?

This really is one of the nicest looking W30's I've seen (for sale) in a while. Wonder how good it looks in person?
