Oldsmobile 442 Convertible 1969 true 442 original engine

Description for Oldsmobile 442 1969

Original 442 Convertible. Numbers matching 400 Cubic. 3 Speed Base Model.Original Engine and Carb professionally rebuilt at a cost in excess of $10,000 in 2015, and less than 1000 miles since, runs like a dream. New Aluminum radiator, hydraulic lifters, new pistons, new cam. Compression ratio reduced to 9.5:1 so good for today's gas.Almost new exhaust system.Seats recovered professionally in 2015, new carpets too. New wooden steering wheel.Brakes renewed in 2014.This is a work in progress, and as I progress the price will increase. Next things will be to replace the roof, and then the paint and the small rusty areas, this will add $10,000 to the value. Buy it now to avoid the increase! and save me the time.Was originally dark green, currently red with white stripes. I plan to take it back to green with black stripes and a black roof.Some rust at the bottom of the front fenders, but that's an easy fix, $100 in parts + work and paint.I don't want to sell this great American Muscle car, but a new personal situation and lack of space mean it has to go.VIN: 344679M34477
