1970 Oldsmobile 442...     SOLD!

⊕   ⊕   Added more photos at the bottom of this page with what's left of the build sheet (if you want a full size version of the build sheet, send me and email),books that go with the car and I have some motor mounts also. There are pictures of the vin and cowl tag at the bottom of page 2.

♣     The car is in very good running condition, I have not rejetted the carb for the higher altitude here in ID, but it ran even better in VA where the car was bought. It definitely likes a few gallons of race gas added to a tank full of premium gas beings it was formerly built as a race car. I was able to buy 116 octane from the pump and would ad 3-5 gallons to a full tank of gas. I have a lot of pictures on these five pages with some of the things that were done while I owned the 442. The body is in pretty good shape, it's fairly straight and has a few bubbles in the paint at the rear quarters, I do think there is some filler where the body molding use to be, the holes are filled in. No power steering and has manual drum brakes and bucket seats. Bumpers are painted over, the rear looks to be in good shape and aligned properly, the front bumper looks to be slightly misaligned on the passengers side. The grill is in good shape and I also have another grill (cutlass) that has some slight damage that goes with the sale of the car. The car was orig. an AC car, but has none of the AC parts that were on the car from the factory. Has no original center console. This car would make a good project car for someone who is interested in these collectible automobiles. If you have any questions that aren't listed, please feel free to email me at: terylsdad@yahoo.com Thank You In Advance For Looking!
