It is always better when you post a picture of the cowl tag. Based on what you did post it is a 70 442 Club Coupe, built the 4 week of September and was built in New Jersey, color top and bottom is galleon Gold, with black bench seat interior.
So, for sure not a w30 They were all built in Lansing. it also did not come with a vinyl top.
If you get a picture of your tag or get all the info you can put it into this web site and it will help you out.

Just to break down your trim tag in detail...
ST 70 = style/model year = 1970
34477:
3 = GM division = Oldsmobile
44 = model series = 442
77 = body type = sports coupe (2-door p
E = assembly plant = Linden NJ
79 BDY = Fisher body number (has no relation to the VIN)
TR 940 = interior color and front seat type = black interior with a split bench seat
55 55 PNT = lower and upper body colors = galleon gold for both
09D = time build code = September (09), 4th week of that month (D), 1969. Yours is a fairly early production 4-4-2 for 1970.

Two projects, I know someone who will be busy for years to come! Mine is all done, other than tweaking a few items, which will have to wait till spring. Got your roof and cowl all in last year, all turned out beautifully.
