INTRODUCTION: True showstopper! This numbers-matching 442 was rotisserie restored and earned multiple concours awards. Backed by incredible documentation, including AACA judging sheets, Protect-O-Plate, original paperwork, and even a photo of its original owner in the showroom by the car on delivery day. Featured in Muscle Machines and Hemmings Motor News, this is a blue-chip collector piece.
EXTERIOR: This 442 has stunning curb appeal, refinished in its factory correct two tone combination of Spanish Red with a Provincial White roof. The body is pristine. Although the restoration was completed over 10 years ago, I could not find a bubble, crack, or any signs of bodywork- it is laser straight with excellent panel alignment. The gaps are spot on, and the doors shut with a solid, like-new feel. The red finish is exceptional, topped with three coats of House of Kolor clear that have been polished to a deep, glass like shine from the rockers to the roof. The factory painted pinstripe was properly duplicated, adding to its authenticity. The chrome, trim, and emblems all sparkle, the glass is crystal clear, and the weatherstrips have been replaced. Even the door jambs are detailed with care. It's finished off exactly right with correct T3 headlamps and sits on a beautiful set of chrome SS1 wheels wrapped in reproduction redline tires, giving it the perfect period correct stance.
INTERIOR: Inside is just as impressive, it's restored from carpet to headliner with a very meticulous touch, all redone in its original red color. The door panels and armrests look brand new, and the seats have been properly recushioned and upholstered for both comfort and appearance. The red carpet fits beautifully and is complemented by a set of reproduction Oldsmobile rubber mats as well as embroidered 442 carpeted mats. The original center console remains in place with the iconic 442 Hurst shifter, and it is equipped with a power seat for added comfort. All interior lights are working, and the original red deluxe seat belts are still intact. The dash area has been fully restored, the instrument bezel was rechromed, and it features a rebuilt rally gauge cluster with a tachometer. It also includes an optional AM/FM radio, along with a discreet set of auxiliary gauges mounted below the dash for more precise readings. Overhead there is a fresh, tight fitting headliner with matching visors. Even the small details throughout the interior are clean, tidy, and well executed.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely restored to factory specifications, this car proudly retains its original, born with 400 engine producing 350 horsepower. It's properly equipped with correct manifolds, carburetor, rechromed valve covers, and a factory W30 Ram Air system that has been correctly added. The distributor appears original and has been discreetly upgraded with PerTronix ignition internals for reliability. Even the spark plug wires are correct reproduction. It features power steering and power brakes for an enjoyable driving experience. It's very complete including the horns are in place, the washer system is fully hooked up, it has the dust shields over the suspension and it has proper underhood insulation. The cooling system is dialed in with reproduction hoses and clamps, and even the rubber radiator side seals are present. All the metal surfaces are clean, smooth, and neatly finished. It presents beautifully and runs just as strong.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is fully restored and very complete. Under the lid is a glossy red finish with reproduction decals and a working trunk light. The jamb is clean with a new weatherstrip. Inside is solid metal, neatly finished with correct spatter paint and tidy wiring throughout. The restorer did not cut corners- this car is equipped with a fifth matching SS1 chrome wheel wrapped in a reproduction redline tire, a detail that really sets it apart. It's also complete with the jack, lug wrench, and correct trunk mat. The battery has
