This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible is one of 268 Indy Pace Car
Edition examples built to commemorate the marque's participation in
the 54th Indianapolis 500. All 1970 Indy Pace Car Edition cars were
finished in Porcelain White and feature commemorative graphics on
the sides as well as black stripes outlined in red. The car is
powered by a 455ci V8 that breathes through a four-barrel
carburetor and ram air induction with 62,279 miles. Power is routed
to the rear wheels through a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic
transmission. Photos of drivetrain stamps and casting numbers are
provided in the gallery. The 14? Super Stock III wheels are mounted
with Firestone Wide Oval Super Sport tires. The car is equipped
with power steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted
front and rear drums. Exterior equipment includes a white soft top,
red-outlined black stripes, quad headlights, chrome bumpers, dual
side mirrors, "442" badging, and dual exhaust outlets with
trumpet-style finishers. The seating surfaces are upholstered in
black vinyl, and woodgrain trim accents the dashboard, console, and
doors. The Custom Sport steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer
flanked by a combination gauge and a tachometer with an inset
clock. Interior appointments include a Hurst dual-gate shifter, an
AM/FM radio, and air conditioning.
