Was it rare in 1970 to have a white painted top

Like Ric said, mine came with a white painted top. My car is a southern car, Hazard, Kentucky. Vinyl tops disintegrated in the sun and headliners fell out due to the heat and humidity. White painted top was a way to help avoid both.

It was a rare option, friend I know said there was something like 200 or so 70 SS's with that option. He's a pretty knowledgeable car guy so it's probably close to that number.

He had his 18,000 mile survivor LS6 at Baker's today. He also has a survivor SS Nova with less miles on it, a 69 SS post sedan and a few other cars. I think he scouts cars for the big money buyer's. He's always checking out anything that looks like it might be original or rare.
