color vinyl bucket seats interior with a center console and Hurst

no time was any expense spared on this particular car's
restoration! The floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone
areas are completely solid and rust-free and the car has no signs
of any accidents with a razor straight body. All the chrome has
also been restored and the original spare wheel with it's jack is
in the trunk.The 455 V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and
this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be
driven to be believed - drives straight as an arrow with no strange
road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver
that will give any modern day sports car a run for it's money!The
Oldsmobile 442 was born out of the competition between the Pontiac
Division and Oldsmobile. It began as a response to the Pontiac
Tempest GTO which had proved such an unexpected success in 1964.
The package was dubbed the 4-4-2 based on it's combination of four
barrel carburetor, four speed transmission and dual exhausts. The
package also included a stiffened frame, boxed rear suspension
control arms, a heavy duty clutch and four speed manual
transmission, a heavy duty driveshaft, oversized brakes and heavy
duty suspension package with heavy duty wheels, higher rate coil
springs front and rear, heavy duty shock absorbers, a large front
anti-roll bar and an additional rear anti-roll bar. The 442 became
a separate model from 1968-71. It would rival any other muscle car
of it's day and has a large and enthusiastic club following.In
summary, this is one great daily driving example of an iconic
American muscle car and a sure-fire investment that's sure to
appreciate over the years for any classic American muscle car
collector or enthusiast!
