Looks like the fenders are '71/'72 fenders. Does anyone know if the car has an OW transmission and matching number engine.
The car looks really nice and is priced great for a "1970 W30 convertible."

I just reviewed this car for the March-April issue of American Car Collector. It is one of the cars from the Scottsdale Russo & Steele Auction coverage. The car was a No Sale at $145,750.
Is the radiator cover plate wrong? Shouldn't this car have the one for a shroud? I've only seen manual trans W-30's with this shroud, could be wrong though.
I saw this car in person at a few local small car shows back in the early 90's. I live in Washington state and at that time the owner lived in Shelton, WA. I'd say it's definitely a real deal survivor. Regarding the question about the radiator top plate, my former unrestored 70 W30 hardtop w/ factory OW Turbo 400 had the same top plate with the shriveled up & weathered W30 tune up decal still on it. Car had the skinny radiator, no fan shroud and the original W30 broadcast card I found under the carpet. That was back in '85
There was a conversation on this site a while back, and if I remember correctly the convertibles did not have W30 on the broadcast card. Though I cannot recall the reason.
This is a stunning car aside from little things like valve covers. I can't say for sure, but I think the shroud coincides with the skinny radiator and lack of A/C.
