This is a real-deal 1970 Oldsmobile 442 at its best. After alland#44; it has the numbers-matching 455 V8and#44; four-on-the-floorand#44; and so fresh from such a thorough restoration that it has award-winning paint. Youre going to love the paint the moment the sunshine hits this super-straight body. This is a very well done respray of the factory-correct Bamboo Cream. In factand#44; there was so much invested in the restorationand#44; that this received top tier scores for paint and body at Oldsmobile Club of America meet in 2014. This is the product of a large investment in the restoration of not just the paintand#44; but of course bodyand#44; and mechanical elementsand#44; but there is much more to this coupe than just a high-quality appearance. The color nicely represents the premium Oldsmobile imageand#44; which gives the car a great dual luxury and performance personality it had from day one. The best example of is probably the dual hood stripes. They are usually reserved for an aggressive imageand#44; but when it combines with the premium black vinyl roofand#44; original-style Goodyear Polyglas tiresand#44; and the pinstripesand#44; it almost feels like this car has a subtle two-tone. But we also know why you love this 442. These are the sleek kings of the streetsand#44; with the fastback profileand#44; bulging quarter panelsand#44; force-air hoodand#44; twist lock hood pinsand#44; and spoiler on the rear deck. Plusand#44; the nicely integrated chrome rear bumper design was one of the best to ever come out of the 70s. The black interior is pure Oldsmobile. The handsome button-pattern buckets have to be this perfect because they attract so much attention. Of courseand#44; as an Oldsand#44; theres plenty of burled walnut applique on the dash and door panels. Andand#44; when the wood-like appearance is this goodand#44; it does a very nice job of adding character to the interior. Theres comfortable seating for up to sixand#44; but this is a true drivers car at heart. The four-spoke sports steering wheel should look familiar to any Olds fanand#44; and the factory gauge trio is supplemented by an auxiliary group under the dash. And of courseand#44; that Hurst shifter boldly protruding from the floor is a whole lot of fun. Under the hood is exactly what you want to see – a numbers-matching 455 cubic-inch V8. The engine bay is an impressive time machine that looks like this car just left the Lancing factory. Thats all part oft the investment in this cars care. The motor was rebuilt only about 600 miles agoand#44; and the condition of it and the whole drivetrain is quite impressive (so dont forget to look at the undercarriage photos!) Those great hood scoops feed the massive air cleanerand#44; and below that is a four-barrel carburetor. The power makes a sweet rumble it connects to the dual exhaust (Yep...400+ cubic inchesand#44; four-barrel carburetorand#44; and dual exhaust – its a true Olds 4-4-2.) But real 442 fans know part of the original legend includes a four-speed manualand#44; and so this one has thatand#44; too! It means you get complete control over this massive V8 package. As usual with an Oldsmobileand#44; no matter how much power its putting downand#44; it still has all-day usability. This comes from features such as front disc brakes. This is a real-deal (VIN 344) Olds 442 in amazing and distinctive paint. It even comes with the Olds Club scoring sheet so you can show others that the beauty is more than skin deep. So this is an award-worthy 442 with the docs to back it all up. Yesand#44; this muscle car is that good and that rareand#44; so you better hurry before its gone forever. Call now!! |
