INTRODUCTION: This is a VIN-matched 442 with its original, born
with drivetrain! It's documented with the original invoice and
glovebox pouch, including the Protect-O-Plate. Very desirable
combination of a four-speed and factory air conditioning! An
exceptionally clean, straight, and honest car with what we believe
to be just 37,630 original miles.
EXTERIOR: Boy, this is an exceptionally clean, straight, and nice
fitting body! It's smooth from one end to the other, even along the
bottoms. The panels are absolutely straight, and the doors shut
like new. The lips around the trunk lid and bottoms of the doors
are clean. It's finished in its original Aztec Gold color with
beautiful metallic sparkle, a glossy finish, and painted on black
442 stripes. All the chrome and trim present themselves very
nicely. The bumpers fit the body exceptionally well and retain
their original black rubber corner fillers. The glass appears to be
original, and all the weatherstrips and seals are excellent. The
vinyl top is also in excellent shape. It has the correct notched
rear bumper for the 442 exhaust tips, and even the high beams are
original T3s! It's rolling on excellent SSII Rally wheels wrapped
in reproduction Wide Oval redline tires.
INTERIOR: Sitting inside, my favorite feature is that genuine Hurst
four-speed shifter sticking out of the console! Down on the floor
is nice carpet with reproduction Oldsmobile mats. It has a complete
set of original seat belts. The upholstery is in excellent shape,
and the seats still have their original plastic trim. Door panels
look great, the headliner is mint, and the dome light works. It
even has the optional vanity mirror on the visor. The entire dash
area is in excellent, unabused condition, featuring Rally Pack
gauges, a Tic-Toc-Tach, and factory AM/FM radio. It also has the
optional rear speaker and rear window defogger. The steering wheel
looks great, and all the interior lights work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENTT: Under the hood is its original, born with, VIN
# matching 400 engine producing 350 horsepower. It's equipped with
factory air conditioning that's been converted to R134a
refrigerant, along with power steering and power brakes. All the
components look proper and authentic, and the metal surfaces are
smooth and clean. It even retains the original rubber filler flaps
on each side of the radiator and the plastic clamp securing the
hose to the shroud. The windshield washers are hooked up, and it
has the optional underhood lamp and hood insulation. It runs just
like it's supposed to!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is clean and complete! Under the trunk lid
and in the jamb, the paint is as smooth and glossy as the exterior.
Inside is rock solid metal with the correct Oldsmobile two piece
mat. The weatherstrip is soft, and the optional trunk light works.
It's complete with the jack and lug wrench. Even the spare is a
matching SSII Rally wheel wearing a redline tire!
UNDERSIDE: Underneath is exactly what you'd hope to find on a well
preserved, rust-free muscle car! The floors appear to be all
original, rock solid metal wearing factory undercoat. The chassis
is smooth, clean metal. It has the F41 suspension, which includes
front and rear sway bars and boxed rear control arms. It also has a
factory correct dual exhaust system, front disc brakes, and the
emergency brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor, everything
is clean and proper. It has its original VIN-matching Muncie
four-speed transmission. The driveshaft still retains its assembly
line paint markings and leads back to the original 12 bolt posi
rear.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: If you know the difference and appreciate a good,
honest, original car, I think you'll be very pleased with this one!
It's also a very desirable four-speed with factory air
conditioning. Only 1,267 Sport Coupes were built with a four-speed!
Someone's going to be very happy with this car, and I think it
should be you!
