Looking for a 442
New to Oldsmobile, but not to the hobby. I am a fan of B.O.P, I currently have 3 Pontiac's in my stable and looking for a 442.
#1 must be a 1970 to 1972 442 with documentation
#2 Must be a stick car
#3 Must be a # 2 or higher for car, no projects, rust buckets. a finished car
#4 Colour is not really a big deal, not a fan of red, like blue, Aqua, green , Oddball colours ok.
#5 would love a ram air induction hood but not a show stopper
#6 I have a realistic budget, prefer to buy in Canada if possible, 30 to 40 k if it's the right car.
Thanks

welcome
Welcome aboard Shawn. Look forward to seeing you @ the track in Edmonton sometime this summer. Good luck with the search for the Olds.
I got the pictures of your 62 Catalina. Awesome car.

Dave in 2011 , John and myself went hard on the racing scene, over 30 events from Saskatoon, Edmonton, Norwalk Ohio, Woodward in Oregon. Had a bit of racing burn out. I build a 525 CI Pontiac Engine, currently look for a roller for it. I will be racing in Edmonton, Saskatoon , Mission and might make the trip to the hat this year.
The other Poncho is my 2002 SLP Firehawk, John's old car as he upgraded to a Callaway Corvette

stick will be sticky
The hard part is the 3rd pedal mandate. There are plenty of nice 70-72 OAI cars out there but 90% or more are automatic trans car.
We got our eyes open for you Shawn.

Thanks Dave,
I know it will be hard, On the Catalina, from the info I received, 7998 Cars built, 65% Hardtops, 35% Verts=5200. Stick cars 20% vs 80 percent Auto= 1000 cars. 389 Tri-Power less than 20 percent. My gut tells me less than 500 in that combination made. I know my odds are better with the Olds. I love the hunt for the new vehicle

I have a sweet 2nd. Owner #matching original 1967 Olds 442. I just finished the car about 6months ago and I am looking to move on to another project. It has the big 400 engine tri power and a the original 4speed hurst shifter. The car was painted a 67 midnight blue.
Thanks

Congratulations
Congrats to Sean (slgenge) on the purchase & to Al (OldsAl) on the sale. A great Oldsmobile has found a new care giver. Glad I was able to be part of the transaction.
