"The Burgundy Mist 442 was NOT a W-30 and was NOT a 4 speed car, when it left Lansing Michigan."
So that would make it a W30 clone and nothing at all like the story board displayed in front of it ?

Are the cars researched before they are accepted into MCACN displays? Were the showboards provided by the car owners or the restorers? As for the restoration shop, would this be the same facility tied to the red 1970 W-30 Convertible 4-Speed debacle that was sold, unsold and then sold again by B-J (with quite a drop in sale price)?

Yes, it is a 442 with the W30 option and 4 speed added as well as some other changes, so a clone.
