I've owned and driven several Oldsmobiles over the years and recently bought this '66 442. I had one in High School so it's time to relive the memories, this car had 42,000 miles when I got it and is in pretty good condition. I spent 2.5 days driving it home after the purchase and it was a great adventure. My wife and I went to the local Cruise night and met several people, next adventure is going to Waxahachie to the Texas Olds meeting. Unfortunately I have already started taking the car apart to restore a few things so I won't be bringing it with me but look forward to meeting and learning while there.

Welcome John.
What great cars the 66 442's are.
I traded for one years ago and miss it
badly, now that it's gone.
You will like the site. A wealth of knowlege
here for sure. Enjoy that bad boy.
Is it a 4-speed car? Sure looks nice.

Yes, it's a 4 speed with Black interior, no console and I believe 3:90 rear end judging by the tach vs speed. My daily driver is a Volt so watching the gas gauge fall quickly toward "E" brought back some other memories. Still worth it though, I enjoyed the drive and it gives you a good perspective on just how far cars have changed.
Nice '66
