1972 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 455 V8 Convertible

The black convertible top harmonizes with the exterior accenting for a well-coordinated look. And if you like that, then with the flip of a switch, it powers down for even more distinction you'll love. After all, we all love black interiors on muscle cars, and this one really does it right by always keeping a well-coordinated total appearance. This is a highly original and well-preserved interior. So you'll love pieces like the intricate stitching of the seats and the premium wood-like paneling. Even the AM radio is still cranking out tunes! But what makes this 442 truly awesome is how it remains a driver's machine. It feels great to slip into the bucket seat, grab the Olds sports steering wheel, and a gaze at the round gauges with large speedo and tach. That last one is especially useful with the Hurst shifter.


Under the hood is exactly what you want to see: 455 cubic inches of big block muscle. With a solid investment here, it looks show-ready with the bright blue block, matching valve covers, and glossy air element that gets fresh air from the hood scoops. This block is a replacement that was rebuilt using the Factory 442 top end. So you get power and originality while also not being concerned with a factory block's first few years as a blacktop burner. Even the original Olds snowflake intake, air intake, and exhaust manifolds come with the sale. The proper Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor gets extra help from an Edelbrock aluminum intake. This exhales with added power and authority as Hooker long tube headers feed the dual exhaust. So that means extra power and extra thunder, and best of all, you have complete control it all with the four-speed manual transmission. Easy to enjoy everywhere this 442 convertible is aided with power steering, w/discs up front, and sway bars front & rear.
