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!
Now hear this!!!! Gracing the North mallway of our Hallowed Halls,
1 of about 1,300 1967 442 convertibles built with AC and this
example is 1 of 300 still on the road so states our consignor. Used
but not abused, the consignor stated numbers matching drivetrain
was rebuilt at 38,000 miles, the interior was redone in 2002 and
the paint and top were done in 2005. This example looks sharp, has
its window sticker, original owners manual, convertible top manual,
and Protect-O-Plate. Sporting 69,970 non verifiable miles as the
title reads mileage exempt,hop in turn the key and experiencewhat
4, (400ci), 4, (4 barrel carb), 2, (dual exhaust) mean. As I said,
Call NOW!
Exterior
Panels were straightened and cleaned and after this process,
multiple coats of trim tag correctSpanish Red base and a clear coat
was applied and is looking nearly as good as when it was sprayed
back in 2005. A few inclusions, chips, and some heavy bubbling and
invasive rust is noted on the lowers of the body. All the chrome is
looking fine with mirror-like reflections and I'm in love with the
slightly sunken dual headlights that lead the way under the
imposing louvered hood. 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 all add to the allure. The convertible
top is like 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, big steel slabbed car looks beautiful when that
top is dropped from the side profile.
Interior
Making use of the structures of the seats which were totally
rebuilt with foam, and wrapped with black vinyl to match the new
door panels, and a fresh roll of black carpet, bring this interior
right back to the near pristine state, and this was done in 2002!
Notable horizontal and vertical thin strips of chrome accent the
door panels, along with the window cranks, door actuator and side
view mirror joystick. The low back buckets with tuck and roll
inserts and smooth bolsters sport seat belts in black. A rear bench
in the same pattern as the buckets has some nicely padded armrests
complete with ashtrays. A sleek styled center console houses a
glovebox, and the wood knobbed shifter. In front just above a black
metal bottom strip is a black 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
foursome of supporting gauges just behind the original steering
wheel which is also looking good, especially with the aftermarket
tach strapped to the column. Power steering, power brakes, and a
power trunk release are all here and working. Black carpeting is
flooding the floors and now it's time to investigate under the
hood.
Drivetrain
After extensive research and casting numbers check we know we have
a 1966/67 400ci V8 442 block. A single 4-barrel carburetor is atop
and the intake is correct. A correct 3-speed TH400 automatic
transmission is on back, while it is a 1967 unit based on the
hydramatic tag, it does not have any partial vin stamping. Power
goes through a 10-bolt Anti-Spin rear axle to turn both rear
tires.
Undercarriage
Nicely preserved with rustproofing black paint, we see surface rust
on the untreated components along with some drips on the oil pan
and seepage and drift on the transmission pan. 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. Just like the moniker states...dual exhaust is on board and
runs stem to stern, terminating with chrome tips under the rear
bumper.
Drive-Ability
A fine runner and great cruiser. All the power options work which
made the top down late fall drive rather nice with the heat blowing
on full blast. Limitless horsepower, bias free braking and adequate
handling were shown on our test loop and we returned with smiles on
our faces. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
All buttoned up and painted with some age on the body and exterior,
but not enough to deter one from entering shows and taking home
trophies. With the engine power, documentation and good looks, this
is a car that you truly can be wild about! Come on down.
