Vehicle Description
1967 Oldsmobile 442 Coupe
When it comes to 60's GM muscle, Oldsmobile enthusiasts often spend
years searching for a clean, numbers matching car that's worthy of
investment grade money. But every once in a while, a pristine
rocket hits our website and causes a BIG commotion which results in
a flood of calls and one lucky buyer finally cashing in on a rare
opportunity. My Advice...Call NOW!
Benefitting from a frame off rotisserie restoration, this car was
brought back to life in a big way. Totally redone, excepting for an
engine rebuild which remained sealed, just cleaned and painted,
this car has never seen rain, or any bad weather. As I said Call
NOW!
Exterior
Panels were painted with direct to substrate build primer and then
hours of block sanding. After this process, 2 coats of base and
clear coated. Meanwhile hours heat gun stripping the underside of
its rustproofing and dirt right down to bare frame. Then a shot of
POR 15 Chassis Black just like the factory would do, and let the
assembly begin! At this point all re-chroming was initiated, as
well as the consigner polishing all the stainless...for days to get
the shine he needed. A rare dealer installed OAI (outside air
induction) is included, as too are redline 15" tires.
Interior
Making use of the structures of the seats which were totally
rebuilt with foam, and red vinyl to match the factory, a new dash,
new door panels, and a fresh roll of carpet, bring this interior
right back to the original factory state. Due to the original rally
pack instruments being vague, a new set of aftermarket gauges keeps
track of vital functions. Fronting the restored dash is an original
restored steering wheel. Other features and creature comforts
include, power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, power
driver's seat, tilt steering wheel, AM/FM radio, and a rear
speaker.
Drivetrain
After a technical check of the compression and vacuum, it was
decided to leave the original engine sealed, and do a thorough
cleanup and repaint all to factory spec. All engine accessories
were rebuilt to factory specs, and reinstalled. The original Muncie
transmission was totally rebuilt and bolted back on to the now
gleaming engine.
Undercarriage
Fully stripped and restored adding the disc brakes to the front
(which was an option in keeping with originality) new suspension, a
rebuilt rear axle with new seals and gaskets, and air shocks to
give the car a raked look (Included are the original factory style
spiral shocks)
A consigner with multi talents and enough motivation to build his
career, build his own house, and build most of the colonial style
furniture to fill it, gets the bug to restore a version of his
first love of a car he bought new in the 60's and then sold, the
Olds 442. An AACA 1st Junior Award, AACA 1st Senior scoring
400/400, Oldsmobile Division car of the year in 2015, and a Second
Place in the prestigious Hemming's Motor News Concours D'Elegance
at Saratoga Springs, New York. As I said Call NOW!
