This matching-numbers 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 convertible is
one of 1,171 produced and is documented with two Broadcast Sheets
listing the W29 option, proving it's a true 442. It is powered by
its original 350ci 8-cylinder engine backed by a 3-speed automatic
transmission. The "M" in the VIN number confirms it is an original
350ci 4-barrel car with dual exhaust. Upon completion of the
restoration, it was shown at AACA National Meet in Hershey, PA, in
October 2016 and earned a First Place award in its class. The
original paperwork from 1972 is still with the car, including the
two Broadcast Sheets, Protect-O-Plate, owner's manual, vehicle
warranty, letter from the dealership manager thanking the owner for
their purchase, pre-delivery checklist and various mechanical
invoices. Coming from Oklahoma, the car was rust-free and
all-original. The exhaust pipes on the car are the original exhaust
pipes and were ceramic-coated to preserve them, and trumpet tips
were added. This vehcile is loaded with options, including the
Thornton steel-frame Ram Air hood that was added in 2016 during the
frame-off restoration. Other options include SSI wheels, Goodyear
Polyglas tires, Sunfire Yellow paint, white interior, bucket seats,
console, power steering, power disc brakes, sport steering wheel,
Quadrajet carburetor, AM/FM stereo, sport mirrors and hand-painted
factory 442 stripes. The concours, frame-off rotisserie restoration
was completed in September 2016 and the car has been driven less
than 200 miles since its completion. Hemmings Muscle Machines
featured the car on the cover in September 2017 with an extensive
article about the restoration in the Restoration Profile section of
the magazine.
