Hello. I'm new to the forum. Working on getting my 1972 442 convertible back on the road. It gave the family a lot of pleasure when raising the kids. Due to mechanical issues it got parked and next thing I knew 20 years had passed.
I'm happy to find a place with other Olds enthusiasts!

 

Welcome to the site, post some pictures when you get a chance.

 

Thank you for the welcome. I spent 2 hours cleaning the garage to uncover my Olds/mouse condo. Here is where I am at now.

 

Nice. Get her cleaned up.
Whats wrong with it?

Check out this check list for a car that's been in hibernation...

 

Welcome, good to know you're getting her out of storage.

 

Welcome. Looking good as is. Look forward to your progress with the car.

 

Got put away because of white exhaust smoke.
I was raising kids and working 2 jobs.
Once it sat too long, I lost motivation.
Thank you for the checklist, I'll refer to it moving forward!

 

Welcome! I hope you get it rolling again.

 

I had a set of those tires on my car in the 1980s!

 

Nice ! Welcome to the party.

What powertrain ? There were 14 combos for 1972

 

I(f you suspect a coolant leak pull the plugs and bore scope the cylinders before attempting to turn it over.

 

Thanks to all. Motor is 350 4 barrel with dual exhaust. TH 350 transmission. Not a muscle car for sure. Bought for $2000 in 1984.

 

Very nice. love the color!!

 

Thanks. The original color was green. At the time we had it painted, the car was not that special and we had no thought of keeping it original.

 

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you as a member. Look forward to you getting her back on the road.

 

Thank you!
