1969 Oldsmobile 442

Selling my 69 442 olds coupe. Frame off restoration all new body bushings and new paint underneath (no undercoating used). I spent long days and some nights restoring a remarkably good 442 to almost new condition, but, I am 73 yrs. old now and time to let it go. Every thing from the tip of the front bumper to rear is new or rebuilt. completely rebuilt 455 engine with all rotating shafts balanced. factory 360 horse camshaft installed at the time. fuel is delivered by a 670 holley carb with vacuum secondaries for smooth transition to the rear bores. Completely rebuilt Muncie m21 transmission. Shifter was rebuilt at the same time. Drive line has been balanced and connected to the rear end with new heavy duty universal joints. Differential is sporting 3:08 gearing with a new tru trac posi12 bolt rear end. New carrier bearings were installed at that time. All new exhaust was fitted as well. The car is as clean and shiny underneath as it is topside. Everything regarding the steering has been rebuilt as well, including power steering,power brakes, and new lee engineering steering box as well. Hotchkiss upper and lower boxed rear control arms, New coil springs and shocks all around. The car is sporting four wheel slotted and drilled disc brakes. All new legendary interior was installed on top of double sound proofing material for a quiet ride. I have driven the car almost five thousand miles since rebuild. With the 3:08 rear it cruises comfortably at interstate speeds. Never abused or driven hard. My wife and I simply liked cruising around sometimes in it. Ice cold air conditioning. You could not build this car today for over twice what I have it listed for. But, again at my age now it is time to let someone else enjoy it.
