I'm new to the Board, from the East Texas area and just wanted to introduce myself by saying that I in the process of trading for a 69 442. Platinum silver with blue bucket interior, positraction and the best part is the factory 4 speed with cold air for the Texas temperatures. Matching numbers drivetrain as well as Overall an awesome well preserved original 442 which for someone like myself who appreciates originality, I'm pretty excited about the trade.

The trade involves a 70 Buick GS455 with TH400 that is very nice, original and in immaculate condition, but I just don't enjoy it as I should.

Anyway, glad to join this group and I know pics are king, but it'll be a couple of weeks or so before I pick up the 442.

Looking forward to learning more about these fine automobiles.

 

Wow welcome, Im a Texan too. College Station, Tx. Theres alot of us Texans on here.
Sounds like a nice trade, I love the 455 GS, I hope thats my next car. Im building a 67 Olds 442, have a nice 65 Vette and a nice 73 Trans Am. So ill just need a Buick when that time comes. Yes we want pics please.

Thanks Steve and it looks like your plate is full with some nice rides. I'll post up some pics as soon as I get the 442 home.

 

Welcome from Marble Falls fellow Texan.
Sounds like a sweet ride.
Looking forward to the pics as well.

 

Got the 442 home today and absolutely love it.

I posted a few pics in the album section and many thanks for the wealth of knowledge on this site.

 

Wow beautiful car, I love the 69's. So where in east Tx. are you? Im more south central near College Station. I actually work in College Station. Yeah my goal is to have an Olds, Buick, Chevy, and Pontiac. Im 3 for 4 as it is. I always wanted a 70 GS Stage1 or Stage II, or the ultimate, a GSX, but I would also love to have a 70 Electra 225 limited like the one my dad had new in 70, beautiful car! Good luck with your new olds, I love it.

I'm located in the Canton area, near Tyler. Hope you end up with a Stage 1 someday, they are really special cars. I'm really enjoying the 442, it's nice to be shifting gears again.

 

Welcome from another Texan, your car is in awesome shape. Love the blue!
