Freehold, New Jersey, United States

Selling one of the most desirable and rare muscle cars WITH PAPERWORK AND ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING ENGINE.
1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible which is 1 of 2933 produced that year. I am an NJ independent dealer and found out about the car which was located in the neighboring town through word of mouth. I bought the car from the previous owner who has owned it 12 years and during that time stored it in his garage. He used it occasionally and put about 2000 miles on it total. The car runs and drives excellent and was very reliable for him. Since i look for older hard to find cars every day, i know how hard it is to find an affordable 442 worth buying with SOLID FLOORS, TRUNK, AND FRAME. In addition to that, good luck finding cars with any paperwork and the original numbers matching engine. This car has it..... Original Build Sheet, Original Protecto Plate with bag, Warranty booklet, Owners manual, Oldsmobile dealer pre-delivery check sheet, and consumer information guide. Also has some original Olds brochures. Engine code on block below intake is 396021F. Machined surface below drivers cylinder head reads 30L186258. Trans driver side stamping is 30E185258. I believe the transmission to be original to the car due to L, E, And BL being used for Linden assembly plant and human error of 1 digit is very possible for these era cars. Rear i have not found yet. (surface rust. very faint stampings can be hard to find) The upside potential of 442 convertibles is proven, recently these cars restored have sold for $80,000 to over $100,000 at Barret Jackson and Mecum....and W30 442 convertibles selling for $100,000 - $300,000. This car at one time had body and paint work done but now shows bubbling in the lower fenders, corners of the passenger door, and in some spots on the rear quarters. However nothing appears to be cut on this car, looks to have original quarters, fenders, and doors. There is some minor rusting in the trunk but has alot of meat there. The battery tray is very nice. Frame is perfect...... It will need body and paint to be done, some chrome work. minor interior details. But mechanically it runs and drives great and does not need to be addressed unless you prefer to go that far. The convertible top is 5 years old and has barely seen any weather. The top goes up and down like normal. Power drivers seats works. Clock works. Dash is not cracked. Engine is very clean (see work below).... If your looking for an affordable 442 investment that does not need a nut and bolt restoration..... this car is a no brainer!! Original build sheet shows the car was assembled at the Linden NJ plant. Original selling dealer was Shaull Oldsmobile Inc in York PA and originally sold to Quaker city paper and chem co. on N Sherman St in York PA. According to the '2' Prefix on the NJ Title. There has been 3 owners total in NJ plus the PA original owner. So 4 owners total. Some options off build sheet include: C60 Air cond. A01 Tint glass. A46 4-way power bkt. A51 Strato bkt seat. BC1 Wood inst pnl. G91 Perf 3.23 Axl. JL2 Power disc brks. K32 Cruise ctrl. L31 455 Eng 4bbl. M40 Auto trans. N10 Dual exh. N30 Dlx steering whl. N40 Power steering. U50 Stereo Rad. The car has 135k miles, i nor the prior owner do not know if the engine was ever rebuilt. But the previous owner has done the following maintenance work: Receipts for the following as well as additional routine maintenance receipts: Feb 2002 - Replace brake master cylinder.

Some value guides to refer to: CPI Black book #4 condition is $17,125 #3 and Hagarty #4 is $36,000 and shows a huge jump in the past year.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
