1972 OLDS 442 CONVERTIBLE UP FOR SALE AT NO RESERVE IS MY 1972 442 CONVERTIBLE. LET ME START OFF BY STATING THIS IS A NICE QUALITY DRIVER, ( NOT A FRAME OFF RESTORED SHOW CAR). THE OLDS LOOKS TO HAVE ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL BODY PANELS AND IS PAINTED WHITE IN COLOR. THE PAINT IS NICE DRIVER QUALITY AND HAS NO MAJOR RUST ISSUES. THERE IS A SMALL RUST SPOT ON BOTH QUARTERS ABOVE THE WHEEL AND A SMALL PLACE ON THE HOOD. NONE OF WHICH HAVE COME THROUGH THE PAINT. I HAVE TAKEN CLOSE UP PICTURES OF ALL THREE PLACES (EVEN HARD TO SEE IN THE PICS). THESE PLACES ARE HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING BUT I STRIVE TO DESCRIBE MY CARS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. THE FLOOR PANS AND TRUNK PAN ARE SOLID AS A ROCK. THE INTERIOR IN THE CAR IS BROWN AND LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL. ALL THE INTERIOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE OUTSIDE OF THE FADED CARPET. THERE ARE NO RIPS OR TEARS IN THE SEATS OR DASH PAD. THE 442 IS MECHANICALLY SOUND AND HITS THE ROAD GREAT. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 455 ENGINE (NOM) AND BACKED BY THE ORIGINAL M22 ROCKCRUSHER 4- SPEED TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A FACTORY 4-SPEED CAR WITH THE VIN # STILL VISIBLE ON THE TRANSMISSION. EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE AIR CONDITION. EVERYTHING IS THERE FOR THE AIR CONDITION, IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. EVEN THE POWER TOP AND CLOCK WORK ON THIS CAR. I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL BUMPER AND TRUMPET EXHAUST TIPS THAT GO WITH THE CAR. VERY SELDOM DO YOU SEE ONE OF THESE CARS COME UP FOR SALE WITH A 455 ENGINE AND A FACTORY 4-SPEED, (NOT TO MENTION, POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, POWER TOP, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, REMOTE MIRROR, PLUS MORE). I HAVE LOOKED AT SEVERAL OTHER 442'S FOR SALE WITH THE SELLER GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW NICE THEIR CAR IS. AFTER LOOKING ON EBAY AND OTHER PLACES I REALLY BELEIVE MY CAR IS AS NICE OR NICER THAN 90% OF THESE SO CALLED RESTORED EXCELLENT CONDITION 442'S. MY CAR WILL NOT WIN BEST OF SHOW AT THE CAR SHOW BUT I AM NOT LOOKING TO GET A BEST OF SHOW PRICE EITHER. THIS 442 IS ONE THAT YOU CAN GET IN AND DRIVE WITH ENJOYMENT KNOWING YOU DIDN'T BREAK YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WHEN YOU PURCHASED THE CAR. I STRIVE TO DESCRIBE MY CARS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, SO PLEASE SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!

On Feb-24-11 at 07:36:03 PST, seller added the following information: I have had several questions and calls concerning this car. Some have said it is not a 442. I am definitely not an Olds expert, as some of you are well aware. I try to be very straight when I describe my cars. Here is the VIN: 3J67K2M151182. All I’m sure of is that it is a nice, driver quality car with no rust in floorpans or trunkpan. The car is definitely a factory 4-speed convertible, which is still rare. The car runs and drives great. I am sorry if I misled anyone on this car. It was not done intentionally. You are bidding on this car to be a 1972 Olds 4-speed convertible. Hopefully this will answer some of your emails and phone calls. Thanks.
