Vehicle Description
1967 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday 2 Door Hardtop
"Meet the car Olds builds for people on the go! Who'd expect a car
that looks so sweet to be such a rugged, responsive performer, a
genuine rally machine? It's got all the goodies you'd expect in a
big time sports machine, plus the comforts of a Sunday car, bucket
seats, padded visors and panel, wall to wall carpeting, the works."
From the '67 442 brochure.
For consignment, a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday 2 door hardtop,
showing 56,911 miles which are not actual. Benefitting from a
rotisserie restoration, this car was brought back to life in a big
way. It's the recipient of an AACA 1st Junior Award, AACA 1st
Senior scoring 400/400, Oldsmobile Division car of the year in
2015, and a Second Place in the prestigious Hemmings Motor News
Concours D'Elegance at Saratoga Springs, New York. It's also
featured in an issue of Hemmings Muscle Magazine which will be
included with the car along with an order sheet, delivery photo
from 1967, and manuals.
Exterior
Two stage Spanish Red covers the body and a striking Provincial
White roof contrasts dramatically on this sleeper of a family car
enlivened by the bright coat. The louvered hood gives way to a
distinctive face, dual headlights flanking a square marker light
which in turn is sandwiched by clever inlets that pull cool air
into the W-30 type intake. The proud shoulder line is highlighted
by a painted pinstripe that trails back the slight rise in
character line, then the shoulder runs in tandem with white flying
buttresses over a flat decklid. Jet style stacked tail lights ride
wide on the rear fascia and dual exhaust tips pop straight from
under the chrome bumper, while tasty 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels are
wrapped in redline tires. On all four sides, the coveted 3 color
442 emblems, understated and just visible enough for wary
challengers.
Interior
Handsome red door panels present in fantastic condition with
horizontal rib patterns and silver lined columns and accented
armrest, all over a carpeted kick panel. Making use of the
structures of the seats which were totally rebuilt with foam, and
red vinyl to match the factory, a new dash, newer door panels, and
a fresh roll of carpet, bring this interior right back to the
original factory state. The dash is a handsome arrangement of
materials, contrasting nickel over black with two main gauges
relaying seven bits of information, but added gauges below the dash
pick up oil, water, and volts. The three spoke, plastic rimmed
steering wheel was part of the restoration process and is in
fantastic shape and the center console is home base for the Hurst
442 shifter over red loop carpet. Other features and creature
comforts include, power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes,
power driver's seat, tilt steering wheel, AM/FM radio, and a rear
speaker. The trunk is spectacularly clean with smooth vinyl mat,
spare redline tire, and the battery which has been factory
relocated to make room for the inlet pipes.
Drivetrain
The showpiece under the hood is the correct 400ci V8 rated at 350
horsepower and it's here where we find the 4's of 442. A 4-barrel
carburetor feeds the powerplant which is mated to a correct Muncie
M20 4-speed manual transmission. All engine accessories were
rebuilt to factory specs, and reinstalled during restoration and
the Muncie transmission was totally rebuilt and bolted back on to
the now gleaming engine. Power brakes seem like a good choice by GM
here and are configured as front discs and rear drums.
Undercarriage
We're talking showroom clean underneath and prior to 2019, this car
received new suspension, a rebuilt rear axle with new seals and
gaskets, and spiral style shocks. Suspension is otherwise composed
of coil springs in front and a 4 link with coil springs in back. No
dirt, no grease, not even any surface rust is found. The dual
exhaust travels through newer glasspack style mufflers before
exiting via chambered tailpipes with chrome rimmed tips. Of the
thousands of cars that have graced our halls, this undercarriage
would easily make the top 20 in terms of cleanliness.
Drive-Ability
So this is what 1967 feels like? As the brochure proclaimed, "Three
variations on the same swinging theme!". The car came in the
pillarless Holiday coupe like this one, a Sport Couple with
B-pillar, and a convertible. It's not the configuration that makes
this example special, it's the condition, which as AACA wins bear
out, is outstanding. And it runs, handles, and stops very well, no
hiccups on our test run and all functions work as expected. 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.
When it comes to 60's GM muscle, Oldsmobile enthusiasts often spend
years searching for a clean 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.
If you're any of the following, we recommend calling on this car;
Oldsmobile lovers, muscle car collectors, trophy seeking show
goers, discerning buyers of fine automobiles, first time collectors
wanted to get out the gate quickly, all around classic car
fanatics, and of course, 4-4-2 aficionados.
