I'd have gone into debt for that back in day. Alas, I was only seven for that model year.

And how about the steel hood...... That's the hood that I saw on most all body styles, except W-30's. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing a single W-25 "ram air" hood on any 442's except W-30's, and W-30's were rare in 1970 unlike today.

Add $137 for the 4 speed, and $597 for the W-30 (5 more hp) to list price. This car in the ad would have listed higher, I would imagine. This probably was a special buy for the dealer, maybe only had one.

pappy,

I don't remember the W-30 package being that expensive. I remember the AC was roughly $475.00, costlier than the W-30 package.
