Vehicle Description
It's not just that you're looking at a real-deal code-44 1969
Oldsmobile 442 hardtop coupe... It's that you're looking at a true
classic American muscle machine with a mean stance and even meaner
V8 power.
The 442 has always been a balance of power and luxury, but it just
seems like this one tips the scales towards performance. The red is
a bold and aggressive color that has plenty of luster in the
sunshine. And this has a nicely-done dark side with the blackout
grilles and dual black sports stripes. The aggressive streak
continues with proper 442 badging and a forward-leaning stance that
is meant to be intimidating. But the classy appearance of the Olds
continues to shine throughout on great brightwork like the
form-fitting bumpers. And the idea of classic shine and muscle car
aggression come together nicely on the Cragar SS wheels.
All the black accents of the outside get you ready for the inside.
The handsome bucket seats have a nice intricate pattern and plenty
of comfortable bolstering to perfectly deliver the 442's dual
luxury and performance personality. In between the buckets is the
optional center console that's a very desirable option. Of course,
as an Olds, there's plenty of burled walnut applique on this
console as well as the dash. There's plenty of room for family and
friends, and even an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo to keep them
happy. But this is a true driver's car at heart. The four-spoke
sports steering wheel feels grippy, there's a full auxiliary gauges
trio, and within all this darkness, the added AutoMeter Autogage
tach is like a bright beacon of performance.
Olds fans were a bit confused in '69 why GM didn't lift its
displacement restrictions and allow the larger 455 cubic-inch V8 in
the hot 442. This car rectifies that conundrum, and the extra large
Olds big-block is under the hood for a more potent muscle car. The
Rocket 455 V8 is a true performance build with upgrades like an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum
heads, and Edelbrock Torker intake. Plus, ceramic-coated long tube
headers add even more power while also contributing to the thunder
of the shortened H-pipe dual exhaust. You'll even spot the right
supporting components like the MSD ignition, steel-braided hoses,
and a Milodon oil pan. A stout three-speed automatic transmission
feeds a 10-bolt rear end with Positraction. Plus, this has the
right control out on the road with front disc brakes, air ride rear
shocks, and thick sway bars front & rear.
The sale comes complete with build receipts. A total package like
this never stays idle for long, so don't miss out. Call
