Ello!

I love this site... sooo many nice cars. I definitely have 442 envy but am a happy owner of one myself. I bought this 25 years ago and have put VERY few miles on it as the second owner (technically third owner- see below).

It has the original engine, transmission, rear end... everything except the cosmetics. The guy who owned it before me (he owned it for just a couple of months) stripped off the original green paint (which was in perfect condition) and painted it red. He also swapped the original green interior with black seats and black dye. The original wheels were taken for use on another car... wish he would have left it alone.

 

Welcome to the site.

 

Welcome! Not just another '71 (I think 1971 were the lowest production 442s of all the years) so they're not many of ours around.

 

Welcome to CO. I think the red is a perfectly nice color.

 

Welcome aboard

Vera nice car.

 

looks sharp ! ultra-rare side mirror delete ;-)

 

Very nice. There's a certain regular subscriber to the Newbie & other threads who might have something to say about a perfectly good green paint job being turned to red, but that said the car looks very nice. Welcome to CO.

 

Good eye.

I'm a believer in taking advantage of that large trunk for misc. parts storage... mirror? throw it in the trunk. A/C unit? Trunk.

 

Welcome to the site..The car looks good

Your location says NW what area are you in

Colonel.... ya wouldn't be talking about me, now would ya???? Welcome to our site numbersgame! Nothing wrong with green in my opinion!! Your car is very nice!!!

 

Nice having another northwestner on site. Not to many of us here but we are growing in numbers. Like the red better then a funkly green color (jist kidding Sandy)

 

Citcapp..... don't be a shi*!!!!!

 

Citcapp...Speaking of Northwesteners...The car should be done and in Bothell hopfully next week if you still want to take a peek (depending on the weather and me getting the car put back together )

Maybe there needs to be a local NW get together or all of us attend that big cruise in Longbeach WA in September

 

Let me know, i would like to see it. I'll pm you my phone number

I think a get together of the NW Classic olds guys would be great. Couple of good local cruise in sites. Taco Time in Lynnwood on Friday Nights, Clearview cruise in on Saturday nights and of course the Triple X in Issaquah. Longbeach would be a great place but you need to book a spot early if you going to stay there.

 

Looks like a nice car you have there. From the picture it looks like you are on the east side of the mountians. Not many from the nothewest on here and even less on the dry side of the hills.

 

The sun in the pic must have given me away... yep- way east of the mountains. 500 miles... but it's still the NW! BTW- I lived in SE Washington for 5 great years.

 

Where abouts in SE?? Clarkston? Walla Walla? (That's for all you onion lovers out there! )

I'm from down in the Vancouver/Portland area. I also agree that there needs to be more Olds at the Long Beach show! The place is crawling with Camaros, Mustangs, Chevelles, and Novas. Not many Oldsmobiles though.

If get a wild hare and managed to save up $5K for gas, you should go to the Long Beach show. It really a lot of fun, but be sure to reserve a place early.

 

nice car welcome to the board

 

Welcome , nice car

 

Pullman... 5 years well spent!

 

I just moved from Seattle to Montana. I don't see as many 442's rolling around here...
