Dam, that looks amazing Dave! I know how hard it is to lay black down since i wanted my 76 black. The body shop said it was time consuming, difficult and expensive to get it like glass haha, so I let my wife have her baby blue.
Love the pics and keep them coming!!

Crap, I just saw this. Man, that car was a 1/2 hour drive from me. Good score and it looks awesome. Those Colenade cars were great for their time and the 350 lasted forever, unlike their flat cam chebbie cousins from that time.

Stripes in progress
Almost there....Some of the stripes are on. Need to finish the stripes, do one final cut & polish then a massive clean up & detailing.
Last decision will be 15" SS 11 in argent or 15" Torque Thrust Ds. I refuse to go back to the original 14" SS 111 rims.
soon.....

Stripes again
I was not happy with the stripes so I had someone else redo them. Still not perfect but Good enough.
The car just needs final detailing and polish. I'll be bringing it home on May 1st.
15" SS 11 rims in Argent will complete the look.

I picked up the car yesterday. The re-po SS11 rims gave it the stance.
Glad to have it home. Lots of cleaning & detailing to do today.
pics are not uploading .... will try again later

Fantastic. Great color combination and very nicely optioned. Always liked the '73 model, with the new design but many styling cues from past models. Best looking A-body that year. The '73 Hurst/Olds with the W-46 option was supposedly the second fastest car that year.
The restoration is coming along nicely. Do not see many '73 models that are still in stock condition or in good condition. Happy to see that you got this 442, and from the original owners to boot.
