I messed up the first picture post but I think I have it figured out now.

Lets say I want to make a 442 clone out of this car, where do I stick the 442 badge on the back? What else do I need to do to make it a clone aside from the fender badges? I would like to swap out the auto to a stick but the little woman hates driving a stick shift and I am building this car for her. I have my bird and she claimed this when I brought it home. That was cool with me cuz I was plannig on sleeping at the shop for a couple days. She usualy gets all bent out of shape when cars follow me home.

The emblem mounts on the deck lid passenger side on the vertical edge, the fronts mount ahead of the wheel opening on the fender.True 64 442's are very rare regardless of body style. I have seen several "cloned" 64's and a few outright fakes, all 64 442's had a 4 speed, rear sway bar and boxed arms, and dual snorkel air cleaner, there are of course some small details that help authenticate a true 442 but it is still fairly easy to clone.

Nice vert, gotta get me one of those lifts!

olds4life · March 23rd, 2009, 09:55 AM

nice 64 conv. although i have a 68 conv 442, i love my 64 conv more

. if you decide to convert to a stick, i am interested in buying the t-shift handle.

I found the bent up right headlight filler panel in the trunk and I have been having a tough time locating one. So I pulled out some tools and went to work. I took the before picture about half way through fixing it.

Now I need to locate the right side fender eybrow trim.

I am not sure why I feel this way, but 64's are the best!

I'm with you, I have a thing for the '64's

What are the differences between the '64 and '65 ?

Wasted · April 2nd, 2009, 06:21 AM

The grills are different, so is the back tail panel. I believe the 65 front end is a little longer then the 64. Im sure there's more. This is just what I can come up with off the top of my head at 5:20 am.

Heres the 64 grill.

65

ent72olds · April 2nd, 2009, 06:40 AM

Yes, also hoods front bumper, and the side sheet metal has different trim holes but are the interchangable...mechanically I know there are differences with the 330 believe it or not! W/P etc...

I recently learned the fenders are slightly different. I have project cars of both years in the driveway but had not looked that closely at them until Gene explained to me. The ridge running down the top blends into the headlight eyebrow trim differently between the two years. John

Ice · April 2nd, 2009, 01:27 PM

Thanks, I was just curious. Both sound really great. I want one of them one day.

TK-65 · April 2nd, 2009, 02:35 PM

Big things,
the rear tail panel
front fenders
hood
core support
grill/headlight surrounds/bumper
side chrome in different spot
trunk lid has no holes for OLDSMOBILE letters

Small things
dash is seville grain
dash face is chrome with black accent
ignition has locking feature
door glass have pot metal holders

1964f-85 · April 3rd, 2009, 07:28 AM

The only bolt on body panels the 64 and 64 share are the doors and trunk lid, everything else is different.

slowolds · April 3rd, 2009, 08:25 AM

I think the styling was close in '64 but they really nailed it in '65.

oldsdroptop · April 6th, 2009, 08:18 PM
