I'm pretty sure that it is a dead site.

Glenn Johnson created the site which was incredible. The server is down currently, I will be seeing him in a few weeks and hopefully can find out if it will be coming back.

well that makes sense...I have been trying to find it for the longest time. There are some pic on there that I posted and I can't find, I was trying to retrieve them..THanks for the info...hopefully it will come back up...was that the correct site?? www.69442.com???

dnmfranco

I believe so trying to recall exact title myself.
just remember he had "69 all the time" which I thought was neat

69olds.com, I had it saved to my favorites.

That was a great site lots of good info,talked to him a few times was a great source of information.
Wish I would have bought his 69 442 W30 4 peed car. Great car burgundy with black interior. 3:90 factory rear gear. It was very well priced around $25,000 low mile complete original car.I think it was also rust free if I remember right.

dnmfranco

it was a great site , he in my opinion is probably the most knowledgeable w regards to 69 A bodies. I have learned a lot from him great guy.

That car was beautiful, he sold it right before I met him. Yes rust free

And it was documented with the original window sticker or dealer invoice (can't remember which). Glenn told me a dealer/flipper bought it. I don't know where it ended up.

Pa, guy was selling it for low 40's or something

Bernhard

If the above was not enough
The car came from the legendary Berejik Oldsmobile dealership.

dnmfranco

His W-31 came from there as well. Tim Murphy owns it now .

allyolds68

I never asked him but that may have been how he got the paperwork. Supposedly they kept copies of all the window stickers.

Bernhard

What cars does he still have?

Those two cars were awesome.

It would be great to have the site back up. But that cost time & money. He had some great info. That info could/should be archived here or wildaboutcars???

allyolds68

He still had the 442 convertible, H/O, 442 HT and the wagon the last time I was there (4 or 5 years ago). The convertible was still in pieces and the H/O was being rebuilt too.


I'm pretty sure his username here is 69hurst, the same as it was on ROP.

dnmfranco

69 flat top wagon saffron
69 crimson red 442 auto
69 442 convert that is not finished Nassau Blue 4 speed

Hurst is gone as well

dnmfranco

working on that, not really much time just cost of server
seeing him shortly and going to ask him about it

Joffroi

Usually getting the time is the issue (at least for me anyway). Server cost should be cheap. If someone has a back up of the information, I'd be more then happy to just host it on my site or servers.

dnmfranco

That would be awesome can't imagine Glenn not minding.
Far as back up I am assuming he has that .
Will email perhaps you two could coordinate ?
