Saffron, Fawn and code 8 top, originally from Pennsylvania

Saffron, Fawn and code 8 top. It's an automatic with 3:08 limited slip. It's a nice all original car except for the rockers being repainted.

 

Sharp looking 67 442... Enjoy your new ride...

 

Thanks for the introduction and pictures. Classy looking car. Have many smiles per gallon. Some very good folks on the forum willing to share help when in need, share like mined conversation. Welcome

Keith

 

Your car is stunningly sharp, I'd really enjoy it and I'm sure you do! Please don't shy away from adding pics often.

 

Awesome, congrats.

 

Beautiful!

 

NY442 - From one '67 4-4-2 owner to another, that's a gorgeous car! Congratulations on your purchase and I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it. Please post some more pics of it, engine bay, interior, etc., when you have time. There are several '67 4-4-2 owners on the forum with a wealth of knowledge.

 

Thank you all for the fantastic welcome. The biggest thing to stand out about the classic car hobby over the years is the good people. From cars shows, dragstrips and even when I've stopped during a Sunday drive.
I'll certainly post pictures and would appreciate help. This is my third 442 that I've had, the others were a 1965 which I sold 24 years ago and miss terribly and a 1968 that was a fine car too. I always was fond of the 1967 year since reading an article in Car Craft covering the NEW, 1967 W30 equipped 442. They tested the Olds at U.S.30 Dragway in York Pennsylvania. It was fast, I recall 13.90's for that car.

Thanks again for the welcome and if I can reciprocate in helping in any way, I'd be more than happy too. I'll start taking pictures.

 

Gorgeous '67 - best year ever, LOL. Here's my new to me '67...

Taken 2 weeks ago, just after swapping out incorrect SS1s for the redlines and correct wires.

 

Post the cowl tag. A triple yellow 67 would be awesome.

 

Gregg, I love the wires because I enjoy the chrome/polished stainless look. Plus, it seems conservative for a Detroit performance car and I like that too. Just my take, nice color combination and great looking Olds.

 

Here's the cowl tag

LOVE the headrests on the Stratobuckets...wish mine had them!

 

Y-8 is the correct codes for the triple yellow of 67. One year only.

 

Thanks John! That's awesome to see a pretty rare car!

 

Much appreciated - I’m with you on the understated look, although the all-chrome (correct) SS1s look great. Since mine was optioned with the wires, I figured I’d put it back that way while also losing the ‘70-‘72 SS1s at the same time.

 

Some other random pictures.

 

 

 

My first 67 442 was Saffron Yellow Black vinyl top with wires. My current one, acquired 15 years ago which had wheel covers, has been changed to wires and red lines. I tried SS1 wheels, but like the wires better as I think it gives a more luxury look, which the 442 is compared to GTO's and SS 396 cars. My brother found these wires at a garage sale for $10! You can disassemble them and clean with Bon Ami cleanser without scratching them. they will come o

ut beautiful after the polishing and cleaning.

 

That's a great looking Olds! The wires, redlines, Saffron and black top is a super combo. Yes, I'm partial but it's very nice.

A different angle, trying to keep it interesting.

 

A gorgeous, classy car for sure!

 

Great looking 442! I also just acquired a '67 442... I'm admiring your console. Mine has been painted, would like any suggestions as to where I could find a replacement. I would also like to replace the dash and gauges with modern "original looking" gauges.

 

425HP409, I tried your disassembly suggestion - had a nice one with no curb rash but a cracked plastic center emblem and a little pitting on the chrome under the wires, and a second one with a good center cap and chrome under the wires but tons of road rash. Both came apart really easily, used some 0000 steel wool on everything and came out with a nice spare (and another one for garage wall art, LOL). Thanks for the suggestion!

 

Just adding as I get time, passenger side stripe

 

Here's a gift from a bird, I think, but I'm not sure what year it happened. I'll classify this as "Day 2 Non-factory.

 

Take a nice picture of the gold convertible frame.
I always thought that was a great touch on the saffron verts.

 

I just realized that car was at the last Murfreesboro Nats.

 

Not the same car as the OP's. In the pics of the car you posted, one of the pics shows the car is a 4-speed, the OP's has a console Automatic.

 

Damn...you are correct sir.
Doesn't have the dealership emblem either.

Triple saffron cars with a red stripe? I wonder how many were made?

 

For the last couple of years there has been a Saffron '67 442 with a red interior, and red stripes at Homecoming. Quite different, and pretty cool.

 

I love the OP's triple Saffron with red stripes, and redlines on the SSI's. I'm not so sure about a red interior though? I'll trust your judgment about it being cool, this time.

 

Here's some convertible frame pictures. I'm enjoying the unique color of the Old's. I hope you guys don't mind me adding pictures every so often. Maybe these pictures are helpful to someone

 

Very cool.
And no one is going to mind you shooting us new pictures!

Some of the specific details that Olds did (like a gold frame for ONE color convertible top) blows me away sometimes.

 

Now that you mention it, A specific paint change just for a top color is pretty interesting.

 

Nice looking car, and a rally-pac too!

 

Thank you very much, I enjoy all that Saffron, Fawn and yellow top.
