Hey guy's found a 1970 Olds 442 unrestored survivor car
probably gonna pick it up agean aqua special order color
4 speed car, what do you think???

 

SWEET!!

 

Nice unrestored find. Looks like it hasn't been messed with.

 

yeah not bad right?

 

 

all depends on your desire and price you are comfortable with. To me you can't go wrong with a 4speed 442. Great color, hardly ever see Agean. Check the Vinyl top. I know its not the definitive guideline but the assembly manual says only Black or Ivory tops went on Agean. Is the vinyl blue or aqua?

 

Love it, even the whitewalls on SSIs!

Terry

 

the top is black, it's been ripped off

 

What is the ownership history?

 

Ton's of paper work! every Oil change etc.. I was told originally a south carolina car that spent most it's life in San diego hence the plate and the plate frame. been in same family all these years, step son had it last and he was 70 years old i was told.
he owed a shop some money so the shop Owner got the car.

 

Dream color combo and a four speed plus it's unmolested.

What are you waiting for? Go buy it!

 

Has a lot going for it. Assuming the price is realistic, go lock that deal up!!!!!

 

Unrestored 4spd without OAI hood/W30 stripes/sport mirrors or spoiler! Its lke a 70 442 unicorn! Did you buy it yet? :-)

 

Great find, Johnny! Hope you are able to bring it home and work your magic on it...

 

^ditto on what has already been said.

 

Hope the price is fair. Very nice. My 70 we are doing this year is an odd ball too. Originally burgandy mist with black vinyl top and white interior. standard stripes no sport mirrors or W-25 hood, bucket console 4 speed. These cars are awesome.

Very nice find

Larry

 

Looks really solid, like the others said, great deal.

 

Great find! Hope you end up with it!

 

Is this a Fremont car? Has the charcoal canister - I think only the California built cars had that in '70. Hope you get it!

 

Anything with California emissions had it. The last W-30 I sold had it. The cool thing is, This car is so unmolested that it still has the line going to the air cleaner snorkel.

 

If you end up with this car, Be very careful with the fitting that is in the end of the intake snorkel because it is impossible to find.

 

The guy said he would get it running for me so I have a driving car because I can't get a non-driving car right now I don't really have a place to keep it so after the football game he's going to get it running this week and then I'll be taking it home after can't wait!!!QUOTE=jensenracing77;988967]If you end up with this car, Be very careful with the fitting that is in the end of the intake snorkel because it is impossible to find.[/QUOTE]

 

That's a cool car. Good Luck!

 

I guess you won't be getting the last bill with the tons of previous repair history done.
Dam, I wonder what the repair bill was to have to sacrifice his Olds and leave it behind still not running?? Sad for him a win-win for you.
Nice find, 442- stick car n' all .
cheers
Eric

 

good point i will be sure to ask!

 

Nice find

 

Grab it before someone else comes by. How is the metal work, it looks solid. Power drum brakes or disc? Is it the standard 3.42 rear axle ratio with the M-21, possibly have posi?

 

Nice car.....

i need it running i live in apartment complex right now
he just said if he gets it running gonna cost m ore if he has to pay his guys.
my dream car is slipping away!

 

That car will sell in a heartbeat if you pass on it. Get creative with your negotiating, and don't lose it.

 

Very cool!

 

finally..someone that actually use the word survivor and knows what that means...and ya didnt use barn find...you are my hero..

ok, seriously..that thing is awesome...why cant i have luck like that? i have my eyes peeled, and everyone i know looking..i would ****** that thing up in an instant..it would already be home..and id drive it just like it is and torture it to the edge of its life...but thats just me..

love it

 

I thought the sports mirrors were standard with the 442?

 

No. Only with the W-30 and W-31 and on the Rallye 350.

 

Learn something new all the time here. Thanks.

 

[QUOTE=JOHNNYOLDS442;989198]Don't let it slip away, If you can't pull it off financially talk to the mechanic and tell him to give our group of guys a shot at it . I'm sure someone here would want to take that in a heartbeat.
I still hope you get it thou.
Wish you good luck on this !!!
Cheers

AWESOME find - it's "UNRESTORED" but it isn't a "SURVIVOR"

survivors are presentable "AS-IS" & don't need paint & vinyl top replacement

 

everyone has a definition..to me..survivor means it has survived thru time with out resto or modification..

you park that thing anywhere and people will walk by restored cars to see it..theres a whole section at MCAN and the traffic is heavy..

its a survivor to me, and how i will always view and classify them..

 

Ditto, well headed out Tuesday morning to lock deal up.
just need it drivable I live in a complex.
if anyone is wondering how I found it be leave it or not I ran an ad that said 442 wanted the next day this guy texted me info and pics😵

 

lets not get crazy, if this ain't a survivor I don't know what is.
been sitting on the side of someone's house in sandiego for a number of years. Check out the cool plate frame
