HI, my name is Eric and this is my 1987 oldsmobile 442. The nickname i have for it came from my manager i used to work for who used to call it black beauty. i also use the nickname of the duece and the fourty four duece. I found this car in the summer of 2001 on carsoup, and bought it shortly after. i havent done anything special to it yet but i have put in a new 307 engine because the old one was burning alot of oil. i also wanted to keep the same engine size because i want to keep it as original as possible. but i will be making some mods to give it a little more muscle. this is the only pictures i have of it right now. I will get more as soon as i can. but at the time its winter and it is sitting in my garage.
this is me with my car for my senior pictures. and another one from the front. i just got the front redone last summer because my old g/f's sister backed into it. but thats ok it had some spots needed to be done anyways. i will get more pictures of the inside and more, some other day. If some of you are wondering what 442 stands for is 4 barrel carb, 4 speed,
(2)dual exhaust, they had another meaning 4 on the floor 4 barrel carb (2) dual exhaust and the last one they had was for a 1988 cutlass calias version that was 4 cylinder 4 valve 2 camshafts. but it wasnt as cool as the cutlass supreme version.
future mods: as soon as i get some money hopefully over the summer. im gonna put an intake in it. put new airfilter probably K&N, i wanna put straight pipes on it, and i wanna put air shocks on it so i can raise the back end. but thats about all im gonna do for that.
i have to put most of my money towards my other car i have a 93 ford taurus SHO that i really want to start driving again but it needs new computer and probably a new trany. so alot of money having 2 cars so as soon as im ahead a little i'll be putting this stuff all together. and i'll get some pics soon also
