Were white billboards available from factory in '71? It looks terrific, but had heard only black was available.

while the white 70 hockey stripe you see alot on cudas is not correct, the 71 billboard did indeed come in white, although very rare.
That car had the original broadcast sheet and fender tag, both of which showed the code for a WHITE billboard. Also the unrestored and original paint trunk had the edges of the factory installed billboard around the sidelight marker. I know of a couple purple cars out there with black billboards that have been changed to white, this one however is the real deal and the shaker, which was an option on a 6bbl car was also original to the car. That's why this sold for north of 250k and is going to be restored.
