1972 Olds 442

https://www.oldsmobilecentral.com/fo.../442-Moody.php

As they say, the devil is in the details. Looking closely, this vehicle is hacked up. It's missing numerous exterior and interior trim pieces. Window crank handles, steering wheel horn, exterior chrome trim, cowl screen, etc. The vehicle appears to have just been painted and there is tons of buffing compound all over the inner fenders and engine compartment. It's not a stock W-25 hood, aftermarket. The engine looks like it hasn't been touched in 50 years. The odometer picture at 53k miles is a joke. Everyone knows the odometers can easily be rolled back and manipulated within a few minutes work. It can have 100,000+ miles on it. The price of $35k is ridiculously high. Looks like they just painted the vehicle and are trying to flip it and use the new shiny paint as the main selling point. Probably a $2k paint job and hiding tons of defects and rust.

That is why they call the color "Resale Red"... No mention of any providence to back up the 442 claim either. I really grow tired of looking at badged up clones with high asking prices. Agree this car is a total hack job.

I particularly like the brace that's bolted to the radiator top plate to keep the upper hose from contacting the fan.

Steering wheel only has 2 screws, the other 4 screws are missing.

Passenger side carpet kick/trim plate is missing. So many things are missing or half-a$$ed installed. Imagine the things you CANNOT see, loose ball joints, motor mounts, broken suspension parts, hacked up electrical wiring, etc.

What a nightmare this vehicle will be. All for just $35,000

I viewed the site. It seemed as though every 442 that I viewed had a notice that the listing had expired! My imagination? How do you contact the sellers?

Thanks!
