INTRODUCTION: What a striking car! It underwent a meticulous body
off frame restoration. The colors, features, wheels make it very
desirable. The drop top, 4-speed and endless compliments will make
it a pleasure to drive!
EXTERIOR: This is a mirror mounted on 4 four tires! The body is
absolutely laser beam straight and the black paint is polished so
nice you could shave in it. There's no rust or damage, everything
fits real nicely. All of the chrome and trim has been
professionally restored. The bumpers, grille, moldings shine like
jewelry. The tailpanel is mint and it has a factory power antenna.
I love the red accents in the side moldings and hood spear. The
black convertible top is replaced, the frame is painted gloss black
and all of the weatherstrips were replaced. The jambs are painted
slick, the window seals were replaced. It is sitting real pretty on
some chrome SS1 wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich radial red line
tires.
INTERIOR: The white interior looks amazing against the black paint.
Not only does it look cool but stays cool on the sunny days. It has
been completely restored with all new bright white upholstery,
armrests and door panels. The fresh carpet fits real nicely and has
embroidered mats. Between the bucket seats sits a console in mint
condition with a factory tachometer and correct reverse lockout
shifter. In front of you is a pristine condition original steering
wheel on a tilt column. A meticulously restored dash area also has
a new optional padded dash. Other features include power windows
and an Oldsmobile vanity mirror on the visor.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is a detailed and restored engine
compartment. At the heart of it beats a correct 330 making 310 hp.
It has a hotter cam inside, outside is stock. The manifolds, valve
covers, brackets pulleys and the rare as hens teeth dual snorkel
air cleaner! It features and power steering and an upgraded power
brake system with dual reservoir master cylinder. It is very
complete: it has hood insulation, the washers are hooked up, glass
bottle with concentrate washer fluid, a battery disconnect and
working horns. Put back to factory with a Delco battery topper,
reproduction spring clamp cables, reproduction hoses and clamps.
All the metal surfaces are neatly painted.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted as
slick as the car. The weatherstrip, stickers, trunk mat and well
liner were replaced. Inside is clean metal with a nice spatter
finish paint. It is complete with a painted rim, 5th matching
radial redline tire for a spare and a restored jack assembly. A
nice soft car cover is included as well.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and under this car is
restored like new. All of the steering and suspension was
completely disassembled, rebuilt or replaced and detailed. It has
the sport suspension with front and rear swaybars along with boxed
rear control arms. The brake system was completely redone: lines
replaced, e-brake cables replaced and upgraded to disc in the
front. The fuel system was replaced including the tank. It has a
factory type dual exhaust. Looking up at the motor it is clean. It
has a correct Muncie 4 speed and a rebuilt drive shaft leads back
to the 10 bolt rear. The floors are all metal painted black.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
CONCLUSION: In 1964 Oldsmobile released their own performance
package to compete with the GTO, Chevelle SS etc. They called it
the 4-4-2 indicating it comes with a 4 barrel carb, 4-speed manual
trans and 2 exhaust pipes. It was an option on any Cutlass or F-85
body including a 4 door. This Cutlass has the 442 option along with
a list of others from power windows to power disc brakes. Ready to
enjoy a beautiful convertible? Yes!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
