Yep that's neat but their info is WRONG. The most favored muscle option in '71 was W-30 of course and the L-69 was in '66 to answer the Goat's 389 tri-power. And of course the 365 HP '70 442 did NOT have tri-power.

 

Let me just add that most ALL their info is incorrect.

 

Pretty bad, huh? "Olds" is synonymous with "misinformation". So how do you like the '71 442 pictured which happens to have the '72 grilles and headlight bezels?

Also, i don't imagine the 442 ever being a or THE "most sought-after classic muscle car".

 

I thought the L69 was for the 1967?

 

That is a '72 they have pictured as a '71. The L-69 was an option for the '66.

 

Pretty bad info. Also 14.8 1/4 mile time...yep that's a "sought after" fast car

 

Didn't they start with pollution control equipment on all 71 models? And didn't that reduce the value and desireability of 71 an newer as a collector muscle car? Everything I have heard and read about muscle cars says that 69-70 was the pinnical of performance/HP years for such vehicles and as such makes them (any make) the most sought after.

 

I'm still looking for a 71 w/ factory 3x2 setup.

 

Yep, poorly researched info on all of the cars in this article.
