Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at 1-517-990-2646 with any questions or concern.This auction is for a very rare 1970 Olds 442, with only 93,000 actual miles and a very noticeable Gold with Black bucket seat interior and Black stripes adorned the sides of the car.1970 was the pinnacle of performance from Oldsmobile. In order to keep up in the horsepower arms-race, General Motors dropped the cap on engine size in 1970, and Oldsmobile responded by making the Olds 455 V8 the standard 442 engine. Magazine ads using an offbeat mad scientist trumpeted "Dr. Olds introduces as large a V-8 as ever bolted into a special-performance production automobile!" Output was 365 hp and 500 lb·ft with a 370 hp variant available with the W30 option. A common practice of the era was to under-rate engine horsepower, and the big 455s were reported to actually dyno in excess of 400 hp. The revised body style and increased performance resulted in the 442 being awarded pace car duties at the Indianapolis 500 race in 1970. Motor Trend praised the 442, stating that "it's probably the most identifiable super car in the GM house".Those seeking to experience the ultimate in performance from Lansing could order a "W-Machine" version of the 442, dubbed the W-30 package. The 442 W-30 added a fiberglass hood (option W25) with functional air scoops and low-restriction air cleaner, aluminum intake manifold, special camshaft, cylinder heads, distributor, and carburetor.A very hard to find and rare car with all the looks anyone would look for and the car will sell for a very affordable price.This car is a very nice looking and sounding real 442 with a 455ci, and a 4-speed with air conditioning this car very rare and is a very hard to find a piece of Olds history.1970 Olds 442VIN # 344870M132811455ci V-8 (NOM) with 1968 “D” Heads4-speed Transmission Factory tach and gaugesFactory Air Conditioning (blows cold)Power SteeringPower Disc brakesBucket seat with factory consoleW-30 package addedW-27 Rear differential cover12 Bolt Posi, with 3:42 gears Aftermarket AM/FM/CD mounted under dash with original am/fm in dash 93k Miles UNIQUE IN THIS CONDITION AND FAST APPRECIATING IN VALUE! Prices are climbing on these cars. The 442 rides and drives superb in every way and needs nothing to be enjoyed as an everyday classic, but still shows very nice-this will be a great investment for the new owner and make a nice addition to any collection. The body and paint with black stripes is very nice and shines well but does have a very few of the normal nicks and chips and a few scratches here and there but nothing major, the car shows very nice.
