One thing I don't get though is the thin white stripe tires. Our 72 came with a wider white stripe Goodrich F78/14 tire. Didn't the 442 come with polyglass raised white letter G78/14 tires, or was that an option? Looking at the pictures the tires look like they are the old bias ply non radials (I'm surprised they aren't rotted out. Most of the cars at shows, unless you're going concours have radials. BF Goodrich Radial TA seems to be a really popular choice.)
And there's the little fasten seat belts pod that's needed for rallye pac equipped cars. Properly labelled on the glovebox as Cutlass instead of the clone or tribute 442 mistakes.
You must have had a fantastic time. I'm looking at all the rolling stock in all the pictures and I wish I was there.

It's definitely nice with only 4,700 miles! ; ) It has the W29 option - a lot of original paperwork was with it. It was built in Framingham, MA, sold new in Lancaster, PA and is a U code car (250 net hp 455/TH400). Those are the original bias ply tires - all 5 are there. Since you noticed it, the seat belt buzzer on the dash is correct for all Rallye Pack cars built after January 1, 1972. Late 1971 Rallye Pack cars did not have it. I have a printout from when this car was on Ebay in 2001 or so - if I find it , I'll scan and post it.
