Hi all,
So I just bought my 1st 442. Here are a few pics. I'm excited to learn more about the car she is pretty

 

Welcome. Nice looking car. Just don't put any stock in that fake window sticker.

 

Oh wow.. never thought of that. Oh well I bought the car not the sticker I guess =). It's about a million miles from factory anyway so it doesn't make much of a difference

 

The giveaway is the line for RPO W27, which was only available on the 442 with W30. Since this car isn't a W30, it couldn't have come from the factory with W27. And 99.99% of the people will not know that (including whoever made up that sticker).

 

Good catch Joe, also despite the faux window sticker, is it true the W 25 hood and the W 27 rear axle carrier /cover options actually cost the same, to the penny? Money well spent

 

Congratulations on getting a really nice looking car. I'm sure you will enjoy it A Lot!
Steve

 

So I removed the sticker pic. it's incredible how many fake "things" there are out there. It gets so frustrating having to be so careful because some scumbag is trying to scam you and make a few extra bucks

 

Thanks for the heads up on that sticker! Im sure I have a million more things I will learn on this site.

 

Actually, the were! From the 1970 SPECS booklet. Again, however, you could never order both W25 and W27 on the same 442, since W27 required W30 as a mandatory option and W30 subsumed W25.

 

This is unfortunately why I frown on repro window stickers, build sheets, blank OW tags, etc.

 

Good attitude. I like that. Looks like it is an actual 442. That is a major plus for me. Enjoy your car. Better than a car that yearns to be driven. Thanks for sharing and keep the pictures coming.

 

Yes it is. The VIN proves that.

 

Exactly

 

Let me be the first to mention the roll/crash bar setup! Yeah, baby!

Joe, what RPO would that be? Sometimes I can't help myself...

 

Nice car, welcome to the site.

 

Sharp ride! I like the blacked out bumper and front end. Another CO Member has a similar color scheme. I think it is sharp! I dig your LOUD Yellow!! And the Block Matches!

 

It’s the “don’t crush my head if the car rolls” option. We know those windshield A pillars are completely worthless on an inverted convertible.

 

Nice, is it a 4 speed, or more?

 

Welcome! Enjoy, drive the hell out of it. Life is short.

 

And Olds dude, I should’ve mentioned previously that’s a cool pro touring 442, welcome to CO, and enjoy the ride!
