INTRODUCTION: One owner for the first 40 years (until 2007), this heavily documented, numbers-matching genuine 4-4-2 is loaded with desirable options, including factory air conditioning and Rally Pac gauges. It is finished in a rare and highly attractive color combination on a rust-free car. Sold new at Bill Romel Oldsmobile in Redondo Beach, California, it comes with exceptional original paperwork: Protect-O-Plate, sales contract, purchase order, invoice, owner's manual, maintenance records, and documented ownership history. The car spent most of its life in dry climates-California, Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Texas.
EXTERIOR: A very impressive California body retaining all original metal. It is straight throughout with excellent panel fit, clean seams, and no rust or damage-door bottoms are solid and original. In 2008 the car received a high-quality repaint in its original Spanish Red, at a cost of over $15,000 (a significant investment at the time, especially on a rust-free car). The finish is smooth, glossy, and shows beautifully. Chrome and stainless trim are in very nice condition. It features reproduction T-3 headlights and rides on brand new BFGoodrich radial redline tires mounted on 15 inch SS1 chrome wheels. A bright white vinyl top provides striking contrast and completes the classic muscle-era look.
INTERIOR: The interior is in excellent condition and presents very well. The seats feature new red upholstery, complemented by new door panels, headliner, and sun visors. The carpet is in excellent shape and protected by new 4-4-2 floor mats. It retains its full set of red GM seat belts. The center console is in good original condition, and the dash area remains very well preserved. It is equipped with the rare Rally Pack cluster, including tachometer, gauges, and clock. The original AM radio plays clearly. Overall, the interior is clean, tidy, and inviting.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine bay has been restored and detailed to factory-new appearance. It houses the original 400 cubic-inch engine rated at 350 horsepower, presented in stock configuration down to the manifolds, air cleaner, valve covers, and decals. Factory features include power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. The A/C system has been rebuilt with new components and updated to R134a refrigerant. As a California car, it retains its original smog equipment fully installed.
Correct reproduction hoses, clamps, and wiring details have been used throughout. It features spring-clamp battery cables with a Delco battery topper. All metal surfaces are smooth and properly finished, wiring is neatly routed, and components such as the hood insulation, washer system, and radiator side seals are present and correctly installed. The result is a complete, highly detailed engine compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk retains rock-solid original metal with no rust, patches, or repairs. The underside of the trunk lid and jambs are painted smooth gloss red, while the compartment itself is neatly finished in correct spatter paint.
It includes a new two-piece rubber mat and matching tire cover, along with a never-used fifth matching BFGoodrich tire for a spare. The complete jack assembly is present. Wiring is in excellent condition, the trunk light is functional, and the weatherstrip and decals have been replaced.
UNDERSIDE: Extremely impressive underneath. The metal is exceptionally clean-floor pans, braces, rockers, and lower inner quarters show no rust or repairs. Even the chassis surfaces are smooth, solid, and free of pitting. The underside has been cleaned and neatly refinished in semi-gloss black. Equipped with the Rally suspension package, it features boxed rear control arms and sway bars. The front suspension appears fully rebuilt, including ball joints, bushings, shocks, and steering components. The rear suspension has also been rebuilt with new bushings and shocks. A new factory-style exhaust system with correct crimped tailpipes is inst
