Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1987 Oldsmobile 442 for
purchase. The Oldsmobile 442 became its own model line in 1968
after being an option package for the Cutlass. The 442 etymology
comes from 4-barrel carburetor, 400 cubic inch displacement, and
dual exhausts. The 442 is a muscle car legend with its GM Cousins
of the same famous GM A-body platform (Chevelle, GTO, and GS).
From 1985 to 1987, Oldsmobile revived the 442 moniker to succeed
the Hurst/Olds models. The package included a beefier drivetrain,
15 X 7 fully chromed styled-steel wheels with gold trim, manually
inflated air shocks in the rear, special paint scheme (always
silver at the bottom) and gold body stripe decal package,
dual-snorkel air cleaner with chrome lid, mandatory A/C and door
panel 4-4-2 emblems. 3,000 were produced in the first year, and all
were sold quickly. 4,273 were produced for 1986, and 4,208 were
made in 1987. This generation of the 442 is muscle when there
wasn't much muscle produced.
Cosmetically this car is outstanding; it is immaculate inside and
out. It is covered in factory original GM (code 31) Dark Teal Blue
Metallic with Silver Metallic (code 21) as the lower accent. The
front and rear bumpers are the same color as the body. The car has
the factory gold 442 decals and trim as well as the factory body
side molding. The car rides on factory 15"x7" 442 chrome wheels.
Other options include 6-way power driver's seat, power door locks,
tinted glass, power windows, rear trunk release, deluxe interior
instrument panel, rear defrost, front floor console, limited slip
3:73 rear axle, cruise control, leather wrapped steering wheel,
dual exhaust, tilt steering wheel, air conditioning and more. The
5.0 L v8 runs well and is paired to an automatic transmission that
shifts as it should. Along with the sale of this car comes the
owner's manual and a binder full of receipts for routine
maintenance over the years.
