1969 Oldsmobile 442.
Yes, it is an original 442.
However, it was customized in 1979 to become a four-wheel-drive car.
I have the original build sheet from the factory, as well as the original bill of sale from 1969.
My dad was a precision, machinist and car customizer, and he built this car when I was eight years old.
This was not cobbled together.
It sits on the original Oldsmobile frame, but it has been boxed front to back, with custom suspension mounts and crossmembers.
It was fully mechanically rebuilt in 2009, body off chassis, and has had about 5000 miles put on it since.
It stays out of the rain and salt.
It leads an easy life.
The frame, as you can see in the pictures, it’s still perfectly black.
The mileage on the odometer is correct, it has not rolled over.
However, the speedometer reads slow due to the new drivetrain, so it accumulates mileage more slowly.
The engine is a 455 Oldsmobile that was fully decked and machined in 2009, and rebuilt to a high standard.
The transmission is only two years old.
The rear axle was brand new in 2009, and the front axle was all new except the housing in 2009.
It features differential lockers front and rear.
It has four wheel disc brakes, swaybars front and back, Magnaflow exhaust.
It runs incredibly strong.
It has an older paint job (1993 or so) that is showing thin areas and defects.
The interior, in the last three years, has declined.
It needs new front seat upholstery, rear seat, upholstery, and a headliner.
The dash is in great shape with no cracks.
The door panels and rear seat side panels are in great condition.
The carpet is in great physical condition, but the black has faded significantly.
It will need to be re-dyed, an easy and inexpensive task.
I recently changed from 30 to 31 inch tires.
They are like-new BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A’s.
The 31s look better, but they do rub the bottom corner of the fenderwell at full lock.
I still like how they look a lot better! That is why I left them on.
I have a reproduction, appearance-correct, tachometer that goes with it, but I have not installed it.
I have a new old stock tilt steering column, which I’m sure is worth a small fortune, all by itself! I also have two of the optional aluminum spoked Oldsmobile steering wheels.
This thing is a complete beast! It is one of a kind, and turns heads at every stop.
$22,000 or best offer.
