In the world of American Muscle cars, few names invoke such universal respect as 442! Devised and created by John Beltz as a response to the tremendous success of the Pontiac GTO, the Olds 442 started life in 1964 as a performance option group designating 4 speed, 4 barrel, dual exhaust, but by 1968 the 442 became a its own model. Featured here is a wonderful example of this flagship General Motors iconic Muscle car! Finished in classic and most desired factory code correct Matador Red over exceptional pearl white/black interior, this NJ built 442 was originally sold in Ohio but has spent much of its life in dry Arizona desert climate. Nicely optioned with Strato bucket seats, center console with desirable dual gate shifter, numbers matching 370 HP 455 CID Olds V-8, fiberglass RAM AIR hood, rear deck spoiler, Turbo 400 automatic transmission, 12 bolt Positraction 3.23 ratio rear axle, power disc brakes, tilt steering wheel, shoulder belts, sport steering wheel, wood trim instrument panel, rally instrument cluster, functional factory AC, deluxe radio with rear speakers, tinted glass, 14 Olds rally wheels and more. Also comes with spare tire, jack, trunk mat, and original factory build sheet as well as large folder of restoration/service receipts and previous AZ title! -Paint is an exceptional and recent 2 stage, base/clear coat finish with painted white stripes that overall is very smooth and shinny with deep gloss over an extremely straight dry climate body with only few minor imperfections. It has been sanded and buffed in our shop to a high shine and would qualify as a show quality finish. Body, trunk pan and floors are all exceptional and as a result of living in a dry climate have no corrosion issues. Trunk pan is superb as is the condition of the undercarriage, floor boards, and structural members. -Interior is excellent boasting a recent professional restoration, front and rear seats have been recovered and carpet replaced but the dash, gauges and some various interior items are original and show very well. -Engine compartment is show quality very clean, complete, unmolested and very well sorted out.

As the stock market declines, more investors are looking to put their money into hard assets that they control, and make no mistake about it, there is a tremendous amount of money out there despite what the news is reporting. Like gold and silver, collector cars have worldwide appeal, and accelerate in value even as the stock market declines. In 1987, we saw the worst stock market decline since the Great Depression. In the next 12-24 months, however, the value of collector cars skyrocketed - many doubling and tripling in value. For example, a Jaguar E-Type convertible, then a $20,000 car, increased in price to $60,000-$80,000. Ferraris selling for $200,000 quickly became $1 million motorcars. Again in 1991, as the Gulf War raged on, we saw a recession at home. Once more, these cars saw an immediate increase in value, even as the market declined. Unlike the stock market, you control these assets, and they will NEVER be worth "nothing". Stocks will come and go but these tangible assets will always at least retain their value and most often will gain significantly. These investments can provide you with both the pride of ownership and the pleasure of showing and driving. Now is the time to buy these great assets - as the stock market continues to decline, these secure investments will continue to increase in value. Rare and sought after models like the one shown here will provide both years of enjoyment and a stable, if not profitable return. Put simply, the smart money is buying right now!
