As you mentioned in reply #30 there is no documentation (outside of 6 Grrrs claim) of any 79-80 W30 Hurst 4-speed cars. And yes, they were 350 Olds powered. The only non-station wagon, non diesel A/G body from 78-80 to get more than 305 cubic inches.

Love this car

I'm told there were 350 (Chevy ?) powered ones for police car use and some might have been made for high altitude areas.
The guy who owned that 442 drove it to our 10 yr anniversary (2000) and it had been very nicely restored ; I suspect he still has it. I remember him saying it was just as quick in stock form as his 80 W-30 he also owned -
