Re: W-30 rags
I have kept a "database" on the 71 442 W-30 ragtops. I agree with Diego,with the exception of the 72's they are hard to document. The data base I have consists of 67 out of the 110 cars produced. I can only verify that 47 are the real thing. The other 20 may be as well,but without visual inspections and paperwork it is hard to prove. Case in point,an owner sent me info and photos on his car because he wanted it in the registry. Nice photos including a photo showing the serial number on the trans as being the same as the serial number on the car. The next photo was the OW trans tag-that photo was another car's OW tag. The rusty exhaust was the clue that the photos were from two different cars. If there is a registry the people will want their car "in the registry". Notice how a mopar is described as "one of three in the Mopar registery" or "# 12 of 14 in the Mopar registry". That statement does not support total production,just how many have submitted their information. No offence to the work done by Galen Govier. I wish there were better records to support all makes of automobiles.
