Vehicle Description
1967 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible
When it comes to 60s 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, except for an
engine rebuild which included the installation of later model
cylinder heads, and just cleaned and painted, this car has rarely
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 Triple
Saffron base and a clear coat which I'm just wild about. At this
point all re-chroming was initiated, as well as the consignor
polishing all the stainless...for days to get the shine he needed.
Well minded gaps now showing, some black pin striping at the top of
the fenders through the door sills, and nicely ribbed rocker
covering just at the bottom of the doors and not on the actual
rockers. The convertible top is new and has a totally clear rear
plastic window and moves up and down flawlessly. 14-inch Magnum 500
wheels are wrapped with red line radials. A large panel dual
headlight curved in the rear tail light, a big steel slabbed car
looking beautiful when that top is dropped.
Interior
Making use of the structures of the seats which were totally
rebuilt with foam, and wrapped with Saffron vinyl to match the new
door panels, and a fresh roll of gold carpet, bring this interior
right back to the pristine state. Notable horizontal and vertical
thin strips of chrome accent the door panels, along with power
window toggles, door actuator and side view mirror joystick. The
low back buckets with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters and
euro design headrests sport seat belts in gold. A rear bench in the
same pattern as the buckets has some nicely padded armrests
complete with ashtrays. While the seats were redone, the vinyl
material was not stretched tight enough and has resulted in some
wrinkling. Also, a very good condition tonneau Saffron colored top
cover is showing. A sleek styled center console houses a glovebox,
and the Hurst shifter. In front just above a Saffron metal bottom
strip is a dark brown padded vinyl dash. In its center is an
aluminum panel which shows very well, and houses the A/C vents,
AM/FM radio, power top button, and A/C and heat controls. On the
driver's side are 2 large round gauges showing speedometer and a
tic toc tach just behind the original steering wheel which is also
looking good. Power steering, power brakes, and a power antenna are
all here and working. Gold carpeting is flooding the floors. Call
me mellow yellow.
Drivetrain
After extensive research and casting numbers check we know we have
a 1966/67 400ci V8 442 Block. A check of the head stampings and
these are not correct as they decode as 1967 through 1969
425ci/455ci V8 Cylinder heads. A single 4-barrel carburetor is atop
and this number runs through as a 1967 AUTOMATIC engine carb. The
intake is correct. A 4-speed manual Muncie transmission is on back,
while it is a 1967 unit it carries a VIN stamp from another
vehicle, and power goes through a 10-bolt 3.23 posi rear axle.
Undercarriage
Fully stripped and recoated with rustproofing black paint, we now
see power disc brakes up front, and power drums for the back.
Independent coil spring suspension up front and a 4 link with coil
springs on back.
Drive-Ability
A fine runner and great cruiser. All the power options work save
for the rear driver's side window which only works from rear
drivers side seat switch, the tachometer does not move, and the top
control switch has a tendency to stick. All else is just working
swimmingly.
All buttoned up and painted with a matching color way for the
interior, that being Saffron. With the engine power, and good looks
a car that you truly can be wild about! Come on down.
