1970 Oldsmobile 442

Description

Chevelles, Camaros, Corvettes...oh my. These are all amazing GM muscle cars, but sometimes it's good to get a breath of fresh air and step out from the norm. With this extremely great looking 1970 Oldsmobile 442, you're not only standing out from the pack...you're doing it in style with a car that will always have strong demand.

What you're looking at is a very handsome color combination that is actually factory correct. Black and gold are two colors that have always paired well and that philosophy continues with the black paint on this A body that is accented with great highlights. The gold topped hood scoops present a menacing look, and sits on top of the distinctive split grill that centers a proudly displayed 442 badge. The chrome bumper up front provides a nice contrast to the black paint, and out back the chrome bumper houses the tail lights for a very cool look. Topping that rear chrome is a tall spoiler that further enhances the muscular look. Crowning all of that black and gold gloss is a correct black vinyl top, and it all sits on chrome Torque Thrust wheels that measure 17''.

Open the doors to a code 930 black vinyl interior that features the correct strato bucket seats. Those seats flank a center console that houses a Hurst Dual Gate, "his and hers" shifter for the automatic transmission. At a glance, everything appears as it came from the factory with an AM radio, air conditioning, heat and defrost, with the only modern convenience being the installation of AM/FM satellite radio in the glove box. But hidden cleanly behind the rear seat in the trunk is a 10" subwoofer, hooked to an amp and a 10 disc CD changer. This sound system compliments the barely visible speakers in the custom molded kick panels and rear deck that sounds great! The dash is clean and straight with wood appliqué adding an elegant touch for this gentleman's muscle car. With clean, pleated vinyl covering the front buckets and rear bench, 442 badging reminding you what you have the privilege of driving, and a fun Hurst shifter, this cabin is the perfect place to spend some tire shredding afternoons in. And should you have too much fun on those tires, there is a full size spare featuring another 17'' Torque Thrust wheel out back in the trunk.

You can't shred tires without the proper muscle under the hood, and this 442 delivers with a correct 455 cubic inch V8 stuffed between the black fenders. With ram air induction, this engine provides plenty of grunt to keep you grinning from stoplight to stoplight, and having any hopeful contenders trying to keep up. Fire it to life and it produces a proper exhaust note that makes driving a muscle car pure fun. The power is fed through and automatic transmission that turns a posi-traction rear end with 3.42 gears. Keeping the 245 front and 275 rear Falken rubber in contact with the road is power steering and power disc brakes up front. Overall it's a simple and well balanced chassis that is prepared to tackle the strip or the street.

Also included with the sale of this car is a stack of restoration receipts to prove the quality and time put into this restoration. So if you're ready for some GM muscle that begs to be different and will always have a solid fan base, have a look at this 1970 Oldsmobile 442. Call today!
