The car is beautiful!...I have been a member of the Oldsmobile Club of America for more than 30 years and I can tell you that the car is not factory and not dealer installed. Someone did a very professional job restoring and customizing your Delta. The black stripe and hood insert is similar to the 69 Dodge Superbee. It is a very nice look for your Olds and very professional. Great care was taken to make the paint and emblems look factory. It is obvious that the car has been repainted and I would guess the engine has been rebuilt with performance in mind. If that is the case you will have higher horsepower than factory. If the car was some rare edition surely others would have heard about them and factory literature would be available. GM and dealers didnt tool up to make only 30 cars....it is not financially feasable. By 1971 Olds was out of racing and performance was almost dead. I own many Oldsmobiles some pretty rare. I know a lot about the rarer cars from Oldsmobile like the 66 W-30, Hurst Olds, Rallye 350 and the like.....sorry but the L-31 edition that someone put together was his own creation. Good Luck with your one of a kind and beautiful ride!
