This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 is a garage-stored convertible powered by its numbers matching 455 cubic inch V8 paired with an automatic transmission. The car has received an engine rebuild, a frame-off restoration and new interior components. Equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. The body has been painted PPG Mandarin Copper with some metal flake while the interior, convertible top, and boot for the top are black. The car resides in New Jersey and features a title in the seller's name.
The body of the 442 has been painted with PPG Mandarin Copper and some metal flake as well as black pin striping outlining the rear bumper and black stripes. The seller states that the black stripe pattern appearing on the body sides and hood is based on original GM drawings, that the stainless steel trim on the windshield was recently refurbished, and that the chrome bumpers were recently triple plated.
The 442 package first became available in mid-1964 for Oldsmobile's F-85 models. While the numbers originally referred to the engine displacement of 400 cubic inches, a 4 barrel carburetor, and 2 exhaust pipes, this 1970 example has a larger 455 cubic inch V8 which was available in 1970. Aftermarket Crager wheels are wrapped in Goodyear tires. The seller states that the Goodyear tires are period correct. Like the interior, the convertible top boot is finished in black. Not too far away are the body colored side view mirrors.
This 442 is outfitted with a black interior and two modes of air circulation; drop the top or air conditioning. The seller states that the upholstery, carpeting, and convertible top are new.
On the dashboard from left there is a fuel gauge, speedometer, and aftermarket tachometer. The odometer reads 2.9 miles and was installed after a 300 mile break in period for the engine. Another gauge cluster has been installed at the bottom of the dashboard, which includes displays for volts, oil pressure, and water temperature. Close by, the center console hosts a dual gate shifter.
From the factory, Oldsmobile's 455 cubic inch V8 offered 365 horsepower, 4.125 inch bore, 4.250 inch stroke, and a compression ratio of 10.50:1. The seller has installed an Edelbrock Torker intake manifold on this 442, and states that this original engine has been rebuilt and is numbers matching.
The seller reports that the 442 received a frame-off restoration during the period 2016 to 2017, which has been documented in photos and receipts. This 442 has also received many new metal parts, including a new floor pans, trunk panels, rear quarter panels, and firewall.
