Vehicle Description
With its original V8 engine, A/C interior, and terrifically
coordinated color combo, this 1972 Oldsmobile 442 tribute
convertible is a total package classic finished to a high
standard.
The Olds Cutlass/442 line from '72 had the ideal sheetmetal that
accented the sporty curves with also delivering crisp lines that
made these equal parts aggression and elegance. And this
convertible really takes that feeling to a whole new level. Freshly
painted earlier this year, the Bittersweet Metallic paint has a
great clearcoat radiance in the sunlight - exactly what you want in
a sunshine-friendly droptop. And the white striping does a great
job of highlighting your favorite sporty features. After all, it
not only draws your attention to the dual hood scoops, but also to
the flares in the fenders. And the way these coordinate with the
fresh white folding top makes this convertible look great even when
the roof is in place. There's even more great performance touches
with the hood locks, full-width spoiler and iconic color-matched
SSIII wheels. Even the chrome is great on the form-fitting bumpers,
with the rear ones correctly notched to accept the dual
exhaust.
For the same reason you like the way the white top looks against
the exterior, you're going to love the fresh white seats inside
this Olds. After all, a convertible was meant to be open to the
world, so it's great they were thoughtful in the restoration to
keep a cool combo inside and out. This might have been an
intermediate-sized car in the '70s, but today that means plenty of
room to share with family and friends across the two wide bench
seats. Plus, there's plenty to keep them happy with the upgraded
AM/FM stereo w/digital tuner, power convertible top, and cold R134a
air conditioning. But a car like this is also a true driver's
machine. That's why you have the fold-down armrest to create an
individual level of comfort. The upgraded wood and chrome steering
wheel goes nicely with the trim on the dash and doors, and you have
a clear view of all your gauges.
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 earned a hardier reputation than even
some other GM small blocks. This is the numbers-matching motor to
the car, and it looks great presented with its correct golden block
and correct decals. There's plenty of power from the four-barrel
carb topping this V8. It has a distinctive growl as this more
sophisticated motor exhales through dual exhaust pipes. Like a true
classic Olds, this is a fantastic cruiser thanks features such as
power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and a three-speed
automatic transmission.
The sale comes with plenty of great paperwork, including the
original warranty card, owner's manual packet, maintenance records,
and restoration photos. So when you can look this good and drive in
such nice open-top comfort, you know this is a unique deal that
won't stick around long. Call today!!!
