Thanks for the reply my friend.

 

If you do not mind telling, how much did the 442 cost? Good to know when gauging prices for other cars for sale. If you rather not, it is understandable.

 

door sticker 9/69

 

I might eventually put it up for sale but i think most guys know what it's worth

 

wheels pics updated!!!

 

Dropped the tank today, changed the fuel sender,the gas gauge works now and gets gas from the tank now also.
The car runs amazing!
bleed all the brakes
Also polished the paint up alittle take some pics tomorrow for you guys.

 

man I'd love to own the car and add it to the 4spd I'm growing! Would get it roadworthy/seal the roof and drive it as for quite awhile!

 

I noticed the mufflers on the car " Maremont mufflers"are they aftermarket? Or stock mufflers?

 

Were you able to find the build sheet?

 

Yes post #47

 

build sheet for tru- blue

 

Cool. Not sure how I missed that. So you didn't find anything under the pad of the gas tank?

 

Age...lol

 

Yes that's where the build sheet was

 

 

more pics

 

I liked doing the research on my car when I got it. I had some of the original paperwork & a bunch of receipts. I'm the 5th owner but the 4th only had it for a year. Texas until 2007 & then NY

 

That mountain picture is beautiful. Great looking car.

 

thanks yeah cool scenery

 

Nice car John,
Great background
It sure looks different than Oak Beach.

Good luck with the sale.

 

And now we know. Thanks Dave.

 

Thought it was a keeper. Sure you want to sell it, as it would be hard to replace such a uniquely optioned 442?

Does anyone know if all the Special Order Paint colors had the double dash -- for the paint code, or only certain ones? Only asking since John's car has the actual paint code, 38, for the Aegean Aqua color.

 

EBay auction ended early, car apparantly sold......

 

Craigslist ad also marked as deleted. Cool car, I hope it goes to a great home and is enjoyed! Congrats on the find / sale OP

 

It would be terrible to see this completely stock and original 442 ending up in the hands of someone who wants to 'improve' it, not unlike what Chip Foose did to the '68 Mustang, with ridiculous looking oversize rims, custom paint stripes, custom scoops, etc....but would be nice to see it either just cleaned up so others can see an original car or fully restored to factory specs.

 

Yea, I missed this one. Didn't even know it was for sale until it was gone. Then again vinyl tops kinda scare me.

 

From the photos, the roof looked in good condition. Probably due to the vinyl roof coming off at some point, but better then staying on damp and rotting the roof. With the condition and options, thought it would go fast.

 

Did not list it here nor post it was listed else ware??? Looks like alot of guys here would have been interested. HMMM

 

Hey guys, Never said it was a keeper but i really didn't want to sell it but i figured if i can turn i nice profit and let somebody restore it the correct way that would be a good thing. As it turn's out a very finatical olds restorer bought the car and he says he is going to restore it the correct way.
He is in the olds club of America for over 35 year and has over 11 cars himself. But i think once he see's the condition he might just leave it alone. he is coming to get it tomorrow i think he lives in Ohio he said 1500 miles away coming with trailer. if he has any complainst i will bekeep the car because you guys are right never gonna find one like these too often. When i was a kid i missed out on a 70 ram air car 4 speed for like $750 i went back to get it and the car was gone.

 

So the hose that runs down to the canister is rare?

 

I actually did list it here in the forsale section before i listed it anywhere else and a monitor deleted it.
I wrote would anybody be interested if i was to sell.
Sry it was not listed long and i got no response why from the monitor i asked why it was deleted. maybe it was because i was asking if you guys were interested and not truly forsale yet??? HMMMM
so please don't assume i forgot about you guys.
by the way i have a chance to buy a 70 SX455 convert family selling the car. in the 20's? too much?

 

the top had Zero rust!!!

 

Great that it sold and you made a nice profit. If something doesn't work out with the buyer, I would definitely be interested. Very cool car though.

 

Does the '70 Cutlass Supreme SX convertible have the W-32 option?

I always thought that would be a unique combination - a 442 convertible buyer could by-pass the insurance surcharge by ordering a Cutlass Supreme SX convertible with the W-32 option, add the FE-2 sport suspension for approximately $20, and the buyer would essentially have a 442 convertible without the higher insurance rates. Only things missing would be the emblems, stripes, and if wanted, a W-25 hood and manual transmission.

Hopefully the buyer of the 442 plans on keeping it 'as is', since it still has the original paint and stripes. Only thing really needed is new vinyl top. Is the buyer leaving the standard hood? Even though the W-25 hood is nice, it would be a shame if the originality is broken up.

 

Old thread I know. Anybody know what became of this car?
