Ok so it isn't exactly a 442. It is a clone. Sorry if this bothers anyone.
NOTE: As many Olds enthusiasts will notice, the car is lacking the the functional hood with scoops. Currently I am missing the hood. The car did come with a 455 but is not actually a 442. I believe this must be a rare car because I had never heard of a a Cutlass having a 455 without being a 442. This is the first Olds car I have owned however and I could be wrong. Being a typical Chevy/Pontiac guy I saw this clean example and figured it would be fun to try something different. Any Olds enthusiasts feel free to share your input on the car in the guestbook. But now to the car...
I purchased the car in 2001 at auction. I'll try to find pics of it when I bought it. ALL original vehicle but currently not the original engine. I have original 455 in storage.
