This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible is finished in metallic blue with a white top over a white interior and is powered by a 455ci V8 backed by a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. A refurbishment completed under current ownership reportedly included a repaint along with installation of QA1 lower control arms, a rear sway bar, and four-wheel disc brakes. Factory equipment includes power steering, a ram-air hood, air conditioning, and a Hurst Dual Gate shifter.
The body was refinished in Twilight Blue during the refurbishment and reportedly features a factory ram-air hood with chrome twist locks, a chrome rear bumper with dual exhaust outlets, and 442 fender badging. A replacement trunk lock was installed under current ownership, and two sets of keys are provided with the car.
The power-operated white vinyl convertible top is shown both raised and lowered. Painted 15″ Rally wheels with polished trim rings wear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires which were installed in August 2020. Modifications to the suspension and brakes include the installation of QA1 lower control arms and rear trailing arms, a rear sway bar, and cross-drilled and slotted four-wheel disc brakes.
The interior features white vinyl upholstery, simulated wood accents, black loop carpeting, an Alpine stereo head unit with a USB input, and a full-length console with a Hurst Dual Gate shifter. The carpeting has been replaced under current ownership, and the air conditioning system was refurbished and converted to operate with R134a refrigerant.
A factory four-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and a fuel gauge. The five-digit odometer displays 22k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 455ci V8 is said to have been rebuilt to W30 specifications in 2019 and features a chrome-plated oil pan, coated headers, and a replacement dual exhaust system. Recent service included an oil change, a tune-up, and replacement of the oil pump, the oil pan gasket, the thermostat, the radiator cap, and the fan assembly.
A rebuilt three-speed TH400 transmission sends power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.
