It will take you all of five seconds to decide you absolutely love this Olds 442, plus the power of it's 455 Rocket motor bored 30 over. And that includes two seconds to figure out how you are going to explain buying it to your significant other!!

I have been meticulously restored by a master autobody mechanic. I have never been driven in the rain or snow. Hardly ever for that fact. As you will see in my photos below, I am in SUPERB condition. Take a moment to listen to my sellers as they describe what you will find to be the best opportunity you have come across in the 442 market....

That's right!! WHAT AN EXCELLENT CAR!!! This 442 is in perfect condition. It has a list a mile long of all the HIGH quality parts that have been used to create one SWEET ride!! We are impressed with this classic. You will be too, we hope! (See Photo Gallery Below..)

Take advantage of the savings in buying this "collectible" car at a sweet price!! It is clean inside and out!! The body is smooth and without any door dings and scratches throughout the entire vehicle. The body is in PRIME condition (As you will see in the photos) and, WHAT A HEART THUMPING DRIVE!!! Buy it NOW before it leaves orbit!!

NOTE: We like to offer "Buy It Now" options, but when there is no reserve, that option disappears once someone places a bid. So, if you wish to arrange or offer a "Buy It Now" price, contact me and I will end the auction early via eBay's "selling it to the highest bidder."

WOW, this is a MINT car with a solid drive!!

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION!! Highest bidder WINS!!!

Please Read The Description And Ask Any And All Questions Before Bidding. Although We Try To Describe These Vehicles To The Best Of Our Ability, There Could Be Items That Are Unforeseen Or Undetectable At The Time Of Inspection.

Exterior

The exterior of this car is in spotless condition. The paint is shiny and smooth with NO DINGS CHIPS OR SCRATCHES. I have taken a close-up of what the paint looks like (See Below). The wheels look smooth and without blemish. No other exterior noticable blemishes found. The shifting is smooth. The drive is supurb!! The acceleration is powerful and quick, and the stopping distance is short. You can expect a beautifully kept condition. The convertible top can be replaced. We have a quote for a new top with Glass rear window installed, parts, labor for $900.

Interior

It is in excellent condition and is very clean. All items are VERY clean and are in working order. What else to say? See photos of the interior...
