Hello. New guy here. Just bought a '71 442 Coupe (being delivered today).
Bought a brand new '86 442 in '86 and have been looking for a nice 70-72 442 for a long time. Been a GM A-body guy for a long time ('71 El Camino, '68 GTO, '70 GTO Judge, and just sold a '71 Chevelle SS454 to buy the 442). Now I'll have to get my 442 knowledge up to speed and look foward to spending time here.

 

Welcome to the site. You joined the right site we love Olds here. Glad to have you.

Saw it there too! a nice looking car.

 

now I want one

 

Lookin' good!

 

and based on pics and description you did well - congrats, next time for me it will be a basket case or someone else's finished car.

 

Welcome to CO Mike, nice find.

 

Thanks everyone for the great welcome. I look foward to spending lots of time here.

 

great call on the sell of the '71 Chevelle SS454 to get the 442.

 

fng = fun n games?

 

Thanks, I agree. I DEFINATELY "traded up" in quality, rarity and I've personally ALWAYS liked the 442s the best. Around '74-'75, my next door neighbor's boyfriend had a Silver/Black stripes '70 442. I fell in love with that car and knew I would have a 442 like that someday.
