1969 Oldsmobile 442

Representing Oldsmobiles midsize muscle car, the 442 was marketed as a more upscale performance car. While its rivals typically had a plain bench seat and around 325 horsepower as standard, the base 442 came with fancy bucket seats, front/rear stabilizer bars and 350 horsepower (for manual-transmission cars, 325 for automatics) on its standard features list.



Here we have a very handsome 1969 Olds 442 "post" coupe that boasts less than 63k original miles, a matching-numbers powertrain and rock-solid sheet metal, underside and floors. The car has had a high-quality respray in the correct Trophy Blue hue, which looks dynamite. A black vinyl top, brilliant chrome (including re-plated bumpers) and stainless steel trim, and a set of correct Super Stock II wheels wearing era-correct Firestone Wide Ovals finish off the cars massive curb appeal.



The interior also looks great with the seats (which had been correctly reupholstered), door panels, headliner, carpet and dash all in fine condition. Among the factory options on this car are the 3-spoke sport steering wheel, power steering, power front disc brakes, an AM/FM radio and Rally gauges (including the Tic Toc Tach). The trunk is so clean you could eat off it.



Under the vented hood beats the heart of the original 400 cubic-inch, 4-barrel V8 which sends the power to the Anti-Spin (limited-slip) rear end via the original 4-speed manual transmission. The dual exhaust with Flowmasters and factory chrome trumpet tips provides the rocking sound track.



Note that over $5,000 was recently spent on the engine, brakes, suspension, radiator and other components to make this a fully-sorted, turn-key and great running and driving example of Oldsmobiles classy muscle car.



Whether cruising along a winding country road, sprinting up an on-ramp or parked at a Sunday car show getting lots of looks, this 1969 Olds 442 is tough to beat for fun on wheels.
