Vehicle Description
Of course you love this real-deal 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible.
Beyond just being rare, it has the original 455 V8, luxury A/C
interior, and stunning blue paint. So when you find out this is one
family owned, the colors are correct and a number's matching 455,
you realize that this Olds is a true cut-above.
Code 28-Twilight Blue Metallic is an awesome color to have in the
1970s, and it still looks fantastic today. Of course, it also helps
that this factory-correct color has a modern shine that comes from
a full professional respray as part of this convertible's
restoration. The 1970 442 is arguably one of the best designs of
the muscle car era, and so it's great to see this car gets all the
details right. The intricate white side stripes highlight the
aggressive profile, and they also nicely match the white
convertible top. This A-body retains its unique Oldsmobile identity
thanks to chrome bumpers that fit so nicely into the overall
design. It even has a very cool set of period-correct optional
Super Stock wheels.
There has been some recent investment keeping the factory-correct
white interior pristine. So no matter with the top up or down, this
442 looks fantastic because it's always coordinating with the
exterior accents. You paid a premium to get the Oldsmobile name
back in the day, and so there are plenty of luxury touches
throughout. It starts with the optional button-top bucket seat
interior that feels fresh thanks to a recent reupholster. The wood
paneling on the center console is in great shape, and it matches
the doors and the dashboard. The driver gets a new Oldsmobile
sports wheel and beyond that is the cool factory round gauge trio.
Even the AM/FM radio is the stock piece. But the features you're
going to love the most are the power windows and power convertible
top. Combined, they mean you never have to leave the driver's seat
if you want to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair
experience. And since the factory air conditioning is blowing cold,
you get to stay cool while looking cool all year long.
Under the hood is exactly what you want to see - an original 455
cubic-inch V8 and an honest looking engine bay. You'll watch at car
shows as people marvel at the factory stickers under the hood,
including the famous "Keep your GM car all GM" one on the air
topper. But what you'll really love is just below that is a
four-barrel carburetor. The power makes a great rumble as the big
V8 exhales through the dual exhaust. GM's three-speed transmission
is stout enough to handle all of this power, and it also is great
for settling down into Sunday cruising. This dual nature is exactly
how to view this speedy drop top. After all, no matter how much
power it's putting down, it still has all-day usability of an
Oldsmobile. This comes from features such as power steering, front
disc brakes, and the grip of BF Goodrich T/A radials.
Oldsmobile built less than 3,000 442 convertibles in the desirable
year of 1970, so it will be hard to find another one with all the
right original features you'll want to show off (this even has the
original warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records.)
So hurry before the coolest restored 442 droptop you'll see ends up
in someone else's hands. Call now!!!
