Have had my 1970 442 Conv for 10 years, bought it off the original owner, who I have known for years and I drove in the the car when I was 16, back in 1978. My quetion is this: I have two build sheets (found in seat back pass& rear back seat) neither say W30 anywere?
What gives?
I bugged the owner for 2 years to sell until they finally gave in.

I know this is the real deal, it has the correct rear, trans, engine, power disc brakes. It is a auto trans & A/C.

This car was ordered from the dealer.

I dont think back in 1978 anybody would put W-30 emblems, red inner fenders, or all the others to make a clone.

I have never seen a white 442 with the light blue stripes & interior?

Any comments would be appreciated.
How can I post a picture?

You might want to post the vin, or the cowl tag info. there are members who can decipher the info for you.

 

MY VIN IS 344670M194984

 

Your vin would work for a w-30. The papers you found may not be the build sheet but instead broadcast cards, I don't think they would say w-30 on them. The only info the vin. contributes is a Lansing built car, which a w car has to be.

 

Thank you, it is the broadcast cards, now that I saw another picture online of one.
I guess its time to drop the gas tank?

 

Don't be surprised if you don't find one. There was no set policy to put the build sheet in the car and Lansing-built cars are historically the least likely to have them.
