Vehicle Description
The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 is a true dream muscle car. So when you can
find a coupe that has all the right faithful tribute looks, and at
an affordable price that leaves some money in your pocket, then
this one is just the ticket for the value-mined muscle car
enthusiast.
Code-58 Burnished Gold is this coupe's original color, and it makes
Olds/GM fans excited because the 442 often looked the best in this
precious-metal hue. Today the bright paint has a bit of extra
luster thanks to a professional respray. And speaking of shine, the
newer bumpers have a great mirror-like appearance, and on the Olds
coupes of this era that's particularly important. The front bumper
gives this coupe the classic American appearance, and few companies
were better at integrating the chrome rear bumper into the
sheetmetal design than Olds. But we really know it's the aggressive
details that have you hooked on this. The dual black hood stripes,
correct badging, and the color-match large rear spoiler are great
442 touches. And Oldsmobile's iconic Rally II wheels.
From the moment you step inside, you can instantly tell this Olds
has a dual luxury and a performance mission. This is best seen on
the bucket seats. This has a great factory-style pattern that
features durable vinyl for the high wear areas and comfortable
cloth inserts around the lower and upper portions so you can wear
shorts anytime. And in-between these is a sporty center console
with a bold golden gearstick. There's plenty of period-correct
luxury like the burled walnut dash appliqu�s and three pod-style
stainless steel gauge faces. These go great with the upgrades like
the wood and chrome steering wheel, auxiliary gauge trio, and
AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input. It creates a total package that is
vintage appeal and modern convenience.
Oldsmobile people know that a Rocket 350 cubic-inch motor is
something very special. Olds manufactured their own V8 engines
during this era, and they were quite different than the Chevy
version. These golden blocks are beefy motors that have proven to
be virtually indestructible out in the real world. And we always
love to see a period-correct Rochester four-barrel carburetor
allowing this V8 to inhale deeply. The Hooker Competition long tube
headers contribute to the power increase as well as help make a
meaner rumble out of the dual exhaust. But even with all the added
attitude, this Olds doesn't lose its premium feeling. With features
like power steering and the three-speed automatic transmission,
there's an easy drive behind the aggressive appearance.
A great factory color, all the right 442 touches, and plenty of
rumble from the V8 - this is a total package kind of classic. So,
if you're quick enough to grab it, your search for the perfect
value-priced Olds is over. Call today!!!
