It received the 442 name because of its four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission and dual exhaust. 1972 was a rough year for American muscle cars. Gas prices and insurance costs continue to climb, and the muscle car days seemed in decline. Yet the newest models of the Oldsmobile muscle cars fought and found their way onto the roads with the affordable 442 option package, which carried a sticker price of only $29. This option consisted of the FE2 suspension upgrades (heavy duty springs & shocks, front and rear sway bars, boxed lower rear control arms, and 14- by 7-inch wheels), side striping, fender and decklid badging, hood louvers, and a unique grille. The 1972 models were the last in the second generation of 442s. The sparkling silver grille with black surround, black headlight bezels, round parking lights in the front bumper and three-section horizontal tail lights are ways to identify the 1972 model. MotoeXotica has acquired our own 1972 442 convertible. Our Cameo White 442 has an excellent conditioned convertible top to take down on a sunny day on the open road. The A/C functions if the weather is warm. The tires are B.F. Goodrich radial 235/60/14 all around on correct, original wheels. This 442 was produced in Lansing Michigan and has the optional 442 spoiler. The overall original interior is vinyl in a crisp saddle color, and the dash and inside door panels are still the factory originals. The front seats are bench rather than bucket. The odometer reads 80,893 and believed to be original. The horn, gauges, lights and wipers all function on this American classic. The engine bay is correct and tidy with a 350-CID, 4BBL V8, 180 HP engine and mated with an automatic transmission. Flex your muscle with this unique muscle car from MotoeXotica. GET OUT AND DRIVE! The VIN number is 3J67K2M139702 and sold on a clear actual mileage Massachusetts title.
