You are looking at a very nice Original 1972 Oldsmobile 442. The only thing not original on this car are the Cragar mag wheels. This car is a real head turner and fun to drive. It has the best rated Rocket 350 engine. Also has the rare bench seat. This car is not perfect, but good enough for most shows, and will make a nice addition to any car enthusiasts collection. The paint and stripes look great. Most of the paint is original...There are a couple of touch up spots...The tires are like new and all matching Wide Ovals. The interior is original and in very good shape. There are no odors or staining. The radio does not power on. The heat and defrost work. This interior is comfortable to sit in and usable just like it is!!! The Olds Rocket 350 starts right up, sounds great, has plenty of power, and the transmission shifts smoothly. Produced from 1968 through 1980, the Rocket 350 was entirely different from the other GM divisions' 350's. It used a 4.057 in (103.0 mm) bore and Oldsmobile small-block standard 3.385 in (86.0 mm) stroke for 350 cubic inches (5.7 L). 1968-1974 350s were painted gold; 1975-1976 350s were metallic blue like the 455; 1977-1980 models were painted GM Corporate Blue. The "Rocket" name disappeared from the air cleaner decal in 1975, the same year that the catalytic converter was added to the emission control systems. Output ranged from 160 to 325 hp (119 to 242 kW). The early Oldsmobile 350s made from 1968 through 1976 are more desirable engines with heavy castings, beefier crankshafts, and better flowing heads. The later 1977 thru 1980 350 had the "lightweight" castings, including a thinner block with large "windows" in the main bearing bulkheads, crack-prone head castings which were actually manufactured by Pontiac Motor Division (castings are marked "PMD"; these heads were also used on the 260), and a lightened crankshaft.
