Like most muscle cars of the late-60s, the oldsmobile 442 had a bewildering array of options and powertrains. Nicely refinished, it remains a high-quality piece that's got the horsepower to embarrass some seriously nasty machinery. The gm a-body never looked better than when wearing the oldsmobile rocket emblem. Straight, clean, with a stylish kick-up behind the doors, it's what all muscle cars aspire to look like. Finished in handsome yet low-key code t cameo ivory (its original color, by the way), it's definitely a sleeper on the street. A black vinyl top adds some contrast and is in excellent condition, and it seems appropriate on a grown-up muscle car like this. The chrome appears to be a combination of original and refinished equipment, with only the taillight bezels showing signs of age. Nevertheless, this is a really good-looking car! The black bench seat interior is prototypical luxury muscle car. Correct upholstery on the seats, some nice-looking door panels, and older carpets are in excellent shape and definitely not low-key. The dash lays everything out in a wide band of brushed metal trim and while the gauges don't cover a lot of information, we like the look. There's also a factory am/fm radio that's fully operational, so this olds the perfect travelling companion. The trunk is finished with a rubber mat that's nicer than those found in lesser cars, plus a full-sized spare and jack assembly. Oldsmobile had a dizzying array of variations on the 400 cubic inch v8, at the top of the list. There's also a newer alternator and power brake booster, as well as a giant radiator that keeps the big block nice and cool. The th400 3-speed automatic transmission and 12-bolt rear end are ready to party and with headers and a fresh exhaust system, it has a voice that'll make children run and hide. The stance is just about perfect and it sits on color-matched rally ii wheels with 225/70/15 goodyear rubber that's suitably sized for the big olds body. With a serious horsepower upgrade, this handsome 442 remains fast, fun, and eminently enjoyable. AM/FM✔ Air Conditioning
