This is a real 442, documented with original window sticker. In
1972 there are many clones because it is not indicated in the vin.
This one also has the glovebox pouch with the manuals and warranty
card.
EXTERIOR: Clean, rust free original metal. I did not find any rust
bubbles. Bottom of the fenders and doors are clean. Panels lone up
square and flush. The paint job is at least 5 years old and you
know black will show everything, I don't see any signs of rust. The
black paint actually has small metal flake you can catch in the
sun. It has a smooth and glossy finish. There are minor flaws if
you look for them. The gold W-30 style stripes are painted on. The
emblems are properly located because it is not a clone.In front the
bumper was rechromed, the lenses look new. It has the sunken in 442
grills. In back it has a spoiler on the trunk, rechromed bumper
with new lenses and cut outs for the exhaust trumpets. The rally
wheels look great and they're wrapped with BF Goodrich tires. The
weather strip on the roof is excellent, around the doors are a
little tattered.
INTERIOR: Overall very nice unabused condition. It has a set of
reproduction rubber Olds mats and a set of embroidered carpet mats.
It has a bench sest so you can sit by your sweetheart. The
upholstery is very good. The door panels are excellent. The
headliner is excellent, it has a vanity mirror on the visor. The
dash area is real nice. No cracks, lenses and heater controls are
great. Cigarette lighter matches the other knobs. Glovebox light
works. It has optional sport wheel. The original radio is in the
dash, there is a modern stereo under the dash with 6x9 speakers in
back. It has complete set of original seatbelts. The interior
lights work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 350 is claimed to be rebuilt and upgraded
with a hotter cam. The motor looks stock, it has the correct valve
covers, air cleaner, manifolds, carburetor etc. The factory air
conditioning system has been updated with 134 freon. It also
features power steering and power brakes. It looks complete- the
squirters are hooked up, has hood insulation, fan shroud etc. There
is an upgraded aluminum radiator to keep it running cool.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Rock solid original metal. I don't see any
patches or splices in the floor or quarter panels. It has correct
gray felt mat. The jack and spare assembly is complete. The trunk
light works.
UNDERSIDE: Under the car appears to be really clean, original
metal. I do not see any patches or rot in the floors or braces. The
frame and chassis are smooth. It has the rallye suspension which
includes front and rear sway bars and boxed control arms in back.
The front end isn't brand new but it has been rebuilt. It has gas
shocks all around. Clean exhaust system has Excelerator mufflers
and the correct trumpet tips. Disc brakes in front, drum in back.
Looking up at the motor it's very clean. The fuel pump and starter
look fresh. Upgraded with a Turbo 400 automatic trans. In back the
rearend has an aluminum W-27 cover.
This is a genuine GM muscle car that is a sharp looker. Very
comfortable cruiser too. It rides so nice, has a/c, easy to
drive.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
