I saw that......I'm keeping an eye on it

They didn't make many 71s if it is number matching.

had a friend that spoke with the owner briefly. Said it was one of those, "have to many project and wife is telling me to dump one..."

TheNewGuy

Hmmmmm.......wonder if it in fact is #s matching

I talked to the guy last night - it is a numbers matching car which was originally white, on white, with a white top. The hood is an original W25 hood and the owner saw pictures of he car from the eraly 70's with the hood on the car. The floors have been replaced, and it has new half quarter panels, but still needs a trunk pan. The guy is firm at $5500 for the car.

Unfortunately, I was hoping to find something a little more solid to restore and am not a big fan of half panels

Im just wondering why are you putting so much effort into selling this car. Why isnt the owner on this site tring to sell his own car sounds kinda fishy... Im just sayin!!!

Joffroi

I run an Oldsmobile website that features cars for sale. This is just 1 of the 101 I've posted in the past 2 months. (http://www.oldsmobilecentral.com/for-sale/)

Some that seem to be good deals, I give a little more attention. 1971 442 with ram air hood for 5500 could be great for someone. And lets be honest, most older guys that have cars don't know how to use the internet well... much less about forums and such.

I couldn't car less if they guy sells it, but it would be neat to know if I helped someone find their "perfect project".

Oh ok now i understand and i apologize ive been on that website and its a good site actually im looking for a 70-72 olds conv..

Better watch that 'old guy' crap - about 70% of the forum is over 50, and have forgotten more than - - -- - $hit, I forgot!!!
And these Frigging computers just take awhile to catch on to, unless you find those sites that replace those 'blue pills'!!

It has an OAI hood but not an OAI air cleaner assembly...hmmm.

kbdecatur

TheNewGuy

Hello Joffroi,

Thanks for the tip on the '71 442 convertible. I checked the link you gave, but it no longer links to the 442. If you can find out any additional information, it would be appreciated, as my friend Nick has been looking for one.

FYI - If you have a 71-72 Cutlass/442 convertible, or Cutlass Supreme, the rear wing/spoiler was never available as a factory or dealer installed option, with the dealers further advised NOT to install a wing/spoiler on these models which both had non-conforming truck lids.

Joffroi

Yea, that was a really old ad and since then I've re designed my site from scratch so some of those really old results got pulled. I have made it a lot more effective to search for cars, but unfortunately I haven't seen a 71 442 convertible in a while. Here is a list of the 71 442s (again, some ads are also old but may give you an idea on price / quality) http://www.oldsmobilecentral.com/sea...=any&color=all

I hope that info helps.

Edit: You can also search for the keyword "convertible" if you don't mind changing the years:
