It would be more helpful if you gave us something to go on. Post a pic of the Cowl tag and VIN?

Are you trying to re-create the 442 in that picture? Your goal is unclear. FYI a repo means - "repossession' as in recovering a stolen item.

Easy search - the body style is 4487 fastback. For 1971 have a look at this page from the dealers SPECS booklet. There's no way to determine what options the Doc Olds car has, except for the sport mirrors, SSIII wheels and W30 package. All 442's also had VIN's that started out with 344 in 1971. This page shows the base 442 equipment and all the options you could get with it. BTW, the color on that body is PNT code 26 - Viking Blue

good to know. the 1971 442 is the same factory color also. it is a base model 442 with nothing so gives me a wide range of options to build to taste.

It's a paint code 26 26 Viking Blue car pictured (painted roof with no vinyl top). Same as mine in my signature pic.

26 B - Viking blue, black vinyl top.
12 B - built second week of December 1970
4487 is a real 442.
930 is black vinyl interior, probably strato buckets.

The really good thing about your re-creation is that your car is a Lansing build. Although 442's were produced at all Olds A body assembly lines, only Lansing built the W30 cars.
