The 1970 Olds 442 convertible was one terrific muscle car! This example really shows that these cars could compete with the best Detroit had to offer. First of all its a 455 V8, 365HP (only 15 HP less than the W30) and 500 Lb/Ft Torque (the same as the W30). Yes its numbers matching and original to the car. It puts the power to the ground through a Turbo Hydra-matic 400 Automatic transmission, controlled by the famous Hurst His and Hers dual gate shifter. The rear end is the factory "anti spin" posi with a 3.23 gear ratio. It has the Super Stock 1 Wheel package. This monstrous engine breathes through the factory Ram Air, Dual Snorkel Fiberglass Hood.

How many could possibly be left? This car runs and drives great. the engine delivers smooth, powerful acceleration and shows no signs of unusual smoke. The paint finish is brilliant. The floors are solid and rust free. There is a dull spot in the paint on the top of the drivers side fender. It won't photograph, but you can see it in the reflection, in the right light. The interior is very nice with no blemishes on the seats and the dash is terrific. The trunk floor is solid, rust free and clean. There is no spare tire or jack. The convertible top presents as new, but the weather strips show age. The car has been very well cared for, maintained and restored as needed. This 442 is presented exactly as it was built from the factory. The colors, equipment and features remain the same and we have the original window sticker as proof. Please ask questions prior to bidding. I'll gladly provide prompt answers and additional photos as needed. I also encourage you to inspect the car in person. Please set up an appointment for your inspection and test drive. This car is being sold "As is, Where is" and without warranty.
