F/S Lee Pearl's 1970 442 W-30 Convertible 4 speed

[olredalert]

----I am getting really confused here. Not all that unusual, I agree, but exactly what color is this red/orange W30??? It appears red and is advertised by B/J as Rally Red, and yet appears almost hugger orange in the as found pics as well as some of the resto pics. Straighten me out,,,please!.....Bill S

Rally Red is 69 carousel red or hugger orange. The tag should have 2 dashes on it for the paint code.

----I understand what your saying, Don, but the car still looks like they painted it red when they restored it. Was someones camera that far off???

----Oh, Sort of forgot,Don,,,what did you ever do with those trailing arms? I could still use them......Bill S

This may come as a surprise (it did for me) but Rally Red is a different color than Code 72 Carousel Red/Hugger Orange/Monaco Orange.

BTW, my '70 442 (03D build date) has the paint code "73" for rally red stamped on the trim plate.

Thank you again Bruce for posting the pictures for me. I uploaded them in the fifth box and hit the (add file from pc) button and then hit (the save files from group). They showed up in the preview perfectly but when I hit the post, they just show the scripted links. I am not sure if my pop up blocker may be causing these issues. I never had issues before, so I am not sure what is causing the problem. Anyway, I think I will just stop posting pictures for a while. Thanks again for all your help and take care! John

Thanks for bring the discussion back. I actually followed the Rally Red w-30 from the $40k ebay sale to the first auction to Mark then reauction and still resulting sale for big bucks restamp, rust bucket and no documentation. Still scratching my head a bit about the whole fiasco and resulting sale.

<span style="font-weight: bold">My wife and I have decided to sell our car at the new Russo and Steele auction June 30</span>. The auction will be in Newport Beach less than a half mile from our house. I want to thank Stefano for directing me to this auction. I really appreciate his help. Lee
