Oldsmobile 442 (1970)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

I can truly say, that driving this Olds 442 has been an absolute dream. I take most of my cars on a 70 to 150 mile cruise and this car performed flawless. My wife and I didn't want to get out of the car when we finished!! I will be happy to assist with transportation and pick you up at the airport. I encourage an inspection prior to bidding or please call me with any questions you may have about the overall condition. Let's make this the easiest car you ever bought.
The interior is in great condition no rips no tears. It will need very minor attention to the center armrest and some panels. (professional fabric dye).Carpet is in great shape, as is the headliner
The exterior is near flawless, some very minor over spray. (only to the trained eye)
Included with sale are some original parts you see in the pictures: ORIGINAL OLDS AM RADIO (not sure if it works, unable to bench test)ORIGINAL ROCKER ARMS/PUSH RODSORIGINAL DISTRIBUTOR/PLUG WIRESORIGINAL CARBSHIELDS/HOSES

(absolutely no dash modification was done to install).Previous owner had aftermarket speakers installed in the rear package tray, looks ok (I would change speaker covers)Previous owner had a Sun Tachometer installed where the old tachometer was located. (looks close to factory).
Authentication: 1970
All 455's.Have 344... Fisher body tags.If original front fenders are claimed, check the spacing between the two 4's on the 442 emblems. The 4's should almost touch each other (very slight space, about 1/8) while the middle 4 and the 2 have a little larger space between them.If the fenders are original they will be flat on the inner edge where the hood sits. '71-'72 fenders have bumps every several inches or so. Both should have red inner fenders and two braces just behind them.If the car is a four speed, it should not have power brakes.For a 442 convertible only, it was based on the Supreme body style.Few exterior changes except for a unique grille made of vertical black rectangles, fenders, rear quarters, trunk lid and both bumpers. The 400 was replaced by the 455. The W-31 option was continued in the F-85 and Cutlass S, these cars were easily identified by W-31 identification on the front fender striping. New option was offered on the F-85 and Cutlass S called the Rallye 350. The Rallye 350 used the 350cu in. 310 hp engine and came in Sebring Yellow with orange and black decal hood patches and side trim. A rear deck spoiler was available on the Rallye 350, 442 and W models. The 70-72 442 wings were fiberglass, not aluminum. The W-25 OAI fiberglass hood was optional for all Cutlass variations.
