70 Olds 442 2 Door Post docs

[442w30]

Hi, Dan, thanks for the response. I can't say I've ever seen a post without the trim, but that's pretty cool because it lends itself for the sleeper look. I hope whomever fixes that car puts some wheels other than SSII!

I looked through some old pics last night and came up with the only shot I ever had of my 70 Post car and it had the trim too.. Anyone computer savy enough to modify and post it let me know as I can't seem to capture it in any fashion other than forward it in an email?.

Go to www.imageshack.us, upload it, size it to 600x???? or so, then cut and paste the bottom link of the bunch it will give you. Then post it here, but use the "image" setting in the Instant UBB Code table below this text box as you make your post.

Believe me, it's easier than it sounds. Or email me and I'll do it.

Thanks a lot!!!.

The car was a 442 Post w/ the W32 455/365hp and originally included the factory W25 Hood, M40 Auto and still had the original engine/trans when I traded it off soon after this late 80's pic...note the W25 hood is not on the car in the pic..
I did get the GM docs after the car was gone and the W25 was included in the original equipment list..

The pic is behind my folk's place a few miles from the Mosport Road Racing circuit exactly where I had parked the car after my last drive when it developed a knock after some midnight laps of the Mosport track w/ my best buddy...6 months later the squirrels had eaten the plug wires, my copilot chum had been killed in an accident and I lost interest so traded it off..

I had a call about 8 or so years ago from a guy who got the car from the guy I sent it to as my name was still on the title...I think he was a car killer/stripper and was only parting the car so believe it's dead now although at hiway speed a year or so ago I spotted a possibile remains of and haven't had a chance to go back for a up close look?.

I completed a frame-off resto on my father's '70 W-30 post in '03, didn't find any docs upon teardown. Luckily the upholstery shop found a broadcast card in one of the front seats, thought it might be important, and saved it!

That Gold convertible with the burnt orange stripes and white roof really looks good.
Same with the white post car a few posts up.
