MSRP source

I would like to be pointed to an online source that will allow me to figure the MSRP on my 1970 442 convertible. The car is loaded and I’m curious what the sticker price would have been back in 1970.

Download the Information Package from the GM Heritage Center (for free). About halfway through the package is the 1970 SPECS booklet that has prices and available options. There are other documents in the package that include additional pricing info as it changed over the model year.

Do you know of a source for the 1970 Specs Book dated August or Sept. 1969. I saw a hard copy once, many years ago, but have never been able to find one since. Just the January 1970 printing

WildAboutCars (Automotive History Preservation Society) lists six sets of Oldsmobile AMA - MVMA Specification Sheets. I've reviewed each of them. Each is dated (revised) 8-1-69 except Toronado (no revision date - issue date 7-1-69).

I've never seen AMA sheets that had pricing data. More to the point, the applicable AMA sheet is also included in that Info Kit that I provided the link for.

I had looked at some of the AMA sheets when I purchased my '71 CS and then became a member of WildAboutCars (which I find a nice source of information). I noted you included the AMA sheet for the 1970 442 only, but I didn't see any other AMA sheets - maybe I didn't look hard enough and I missed any others.

EDIT: I noted the original post by the OP was about 442, I wasn't sure if 70W-32 wanted more than just the 442 since the question asked about 1970 Specs Book.
