Used 1970 Oldsmobile 442

Gateway Classic Cars Tampa Showroom is honored to digitally present this gorgeous 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible. Some classic cars you just need to grab a cup of coffee and take it all in. Don't say a word, just walk around it and enjoy everything it offers. In 1970, nothing looked like the '70 442. The combination of Rally Red and black is simply stunning. Under the hood you'll find the legendary 455ci big block 365hp/500tq (396021F) E cylinder head powerplant. An Edelbrock aluminum intake, rebuilt carb, and ceramic headers serve to help the torque monster breath freely. Before bringing the 442 over to consign, a new HEI distributor was installed along with new plugs. Within the past few years, the transmission was rebuilt, a Moser rear diff with 3:73 gears was added, and the shocks and springs replaced. The owner states the power top assembly is also new making for one less thing to worry about. Unfortunately, Oldsmobile did not keep the most accurate records as to vehicle specifics. However, most Olds resources state only 2336 442 (344) 455ci, automatic, convertibles were made which begs the question; how many still remain today? To put into perspective, that's about 1300 less units than a '70 GTO. She's not a 100 point museum car, but what she is is a beautiful high end driver. You can see this gorgeous ride sitting in our main Tampa showroom.
