Hi I am new to this website. I am restoring a 1970 W-31 Sebring Yellow with Gold interior and gold vinyl top and gold stripes. I am looking for a set of very nice 1970 Gold floor mats and non A/C kick panels Thanks in advance for any help.Randy

 

Welcome aboard!

 

That is an interesting color combo. Do you have any pics?

 

Welcome, yes pics please.

 

no more post till we see photos's sounds wild!

 

Your sign in name is REALW30 but your post is about a W-31. Is there a typo there or do you have a W-30 also?

Gold stripes, vinyl top & interior is not unusual with some body colors like white or green. However that is very unusual with Sebring yellow. I will reserve judgement on wether or not that color combo works or not until you post pics.

 

Welcome, yes pics.

 

I am doing a frame off restoration as far as I have checked and know about Oldsmobile cutlass. This is the only one out there and maybe the only one ever ordered in this color combination. I used to have two 1970 W-30 Convertibles that I sold over the years that is why it is real W30. Here are some pictures of the car. Even though someone put 442 emblems on the car at one time. Randy

 

Welcome to CO. Looks like a nice car. How are you coming up with the numbers produced for this color combo? I am not questioning your statement but wonder about my stupidity. I had a chance to buy a 442 w 30 vert in this color combo about 15 yrs ago for about 5 k and passed

 

Good looking project. Good luck with the resto.

Welcome to CO!

 

What's up Randy.

How's the restoration coming?

Steve

 

Cool color combo! Good luck with the rest of the restoration.

 

I'm still learning, so please forgive my ignorance. The pictures of the complete car sure don't look like Sebring yellow.
Steve

 

Welcome aboard Randy.
I've seen this car and indeed it is a yellow and gold (originally) car. So far in my travels and experiance I've never seen that color combo on anything. How many made? We can only guess. ~BOB

 

The color in the pictures make it look like bamboo but I can see how they are faded images. Either way it is a very cool color combination and has to be relatively rare. If there were only records left for these cars many would be 1 of 1s.

What does the cowl tag say for color?

Oh cool i just noticed the pic on the trailer definitely Sebring, wow! that will be one unique looking car when done.

I see the previous owner painted the rims yellow as well. I think they would look great Argent silver or with SS1s. Do you know what the car came with?

 

 

Steve, Yes it is sebring yellow and Gold I have 2 original IBM body cards from fisher body in Lansing. I have owned many Oldsmobile Cutlass from 1970-1972 never see one this color combination . Randy

 

As far as my research goes No one has ever seen this color combination it is to bad you missed out on the W-30 convertible.

 

Stephen > the cow tag says code is -- the build card is code 51 This car originally came with XT coded wheels. I have original pictures of the second owners in California from 1972. This car was actually used in the movie pursuit of happiness it was parked in san Francisco on the streets but I have not seen it in the movie so far.

 

Steven, the car originally came with color coded XT wheels. The cow tag is -- and the build car is code 51. As far as I know it is one of one. Randy

 

Bob, as far as I know it is one of one. Randy

 

Steve, it originally came with XT dog dish wheels. Randy

 

Nice ride, love that color combo. Not painting it red or blue ??? LOL.

 

Welcome to the forum. Post more pics as you go.

 

A cool color combo, a rare one indeed, welcome, and keep us updated on the resto.

 

Bob, I did not realize that was you of course you know this car. Randy

 

It came with AM radio, 8 track player, rally pac, Hurst dual gate, 391 posi Randy

 

Here are some chassis pictures. and yes the w-27 cover is original not the rear end

 

That photo of the CAR IS FROM 1979

 

I'm delighted to hear about this car but until production records exist for something like this, saying "1 of 1" is just puffery without the sale ad. The fact is that we don't know.

 

That's true But at this point it seems to be the only one out there right now. I will be glad when this restoration is done so I can come home and drive the car instead of wrenching. Randy

 

Steve, trust me it is Sebring yellow and Gold. It is a old photo that is faded . Randy

 

But how do you know?

You don't.

If you look in the Wild About Cars site, you'll see gold interior and stripes was one of the recommended combinations. Your car has a regular production trim combination:

He doesn't say that it is the only one out there right, but it seems to be. More than one built in this color combo, probably, any in the public eye that we know of?, ever seen another? doesn't mean there are, don't mean that there is, as we don't have the records, means that we will probably won't know until another shows up. never the less, uncommon.

 

do you have anymore of those nice w27 rear ends for sale?

Chris

 

Wow that's like 6k cheaper than the one at homecoming last year. And its right here in Kenosha

 

What is the item number I can't find it
