My ex 1972 w-30 convt just resurfaced

Just found that my old 1972 w-30 convertible was auctioned at the RM Auction. After at least 10 years there it is in all its glory. Amazing the stories that become a part of the car. It is listed with an original California title.........the car had Pennsylvania plates on it when I bought it 25 years ago. Wasn't that funky color either. I drove that car for years as my daily driver. Brings back found memories but didn't look like that when I owned it...Lee

Now you can buy it back. Probably didn't look that good as a daily driver.

It's always cool to see familiar old cars re-surface. Is that current color somewhere between Viking Blue and Radiant Green? Those photos don't really give you a good sense of what it really is.

What was the original color according to the trim tag, and what was it when you owned the car?

I bought if for $1,000 out of the recyler or green sheet. I can still remember the ad "1972 olds convertible needs hood and engine parts $1,200"

Title went with the car. I actually took that car to the Nationals in Reno years ago.
