1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Rally Red with Black Stripes          I will explain everything I know about this red head turner up for sale. I am partners with another muscle car guy on this car, and he made the purchase about a month ago. The previous owner had done a frame-off rotisserie restoration on this Olds several years back. Although it is starting to show some wear, it still appears in relatively nice condition. The entire body was painted Rally Red including the undercarriage as shown in the pictures. The frame was also painted black at that time, and all the body bushings were changed, so this car is very solid for being 43 years old, and should last for another 43 years. The detailed engine is a non-original Chevy 350 that was completely re-built at the time of the restoration with new Edelbrock aluminum heads added at the time. The engine also has an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold, with a newer Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. There are a pair of nice Hedman Hedders with newer dual exhaust running front to back with cherry bomb mufflers, so the neighbors will know who's coming home. There are also a nice pair of chrome trumpets coming out of the cut-out portion on the rear bumper. A great deal of money was spent in the transformation of this car back then. This Oldsmobile started life as a Cutlass, but was upgraded with mostly all of the 442 W-30 options. I would rate the Rally Red paint as drivers quality that can be enjoyed just the way it is, or it can be restored again back to perfection. These 60's and 70's muscle cars have incredible investment potential. 1970 was the pinnacle of the muscle car era! This model has the awesome W-25 ram-air hood with locking twistdowns to make sure the hood stays in place at high speeds. It also has the infamous whale tail spoiler like all 442's should have in my opinion. I saw no signs of this car ever being involved in any accidents. This Olds is steered with the awesome 442 sport wheel, and drives down the road straight as an arrow with fingertip control. There is a very expensive full set of gauges mounted in plain view of the driver to insure everything is running right. The gauges really look cool lit up at night. Also mounted on the console is a high performance tachometer to really see how far this bad boy can be pushed. Everyone who knows these cars, knows that this color and striping combination is one of the all time most popular and desirable with the black bucket seat interior. The doors are extremely solid throughout the bottom of the doors, so these doors line up like they did back in 1970. The door gaskets have been replaced with new gaskets. The windshield pillar rubber gaskets were also replaced. I tried to replace any missing decals or add the correct factory decals to make this Oldsmobile appear the way it did when it rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor back in 1970. The front bucket seats were just reupholstered a couple weeks ago, so they will be awesome for years to come. The rear seat has minor imperfection, but the entire interior appears in very good condition as shown in the pictures. There is newer black carpeting with a new set of four black floor mats. When you're in the drivers bucket seat looking out the factory tinted windshield over those two bold hood scoops, a smiles just appears on your face. This Olds rides on set of four P225/70R14 inch Widetrack Radial S/R raised white lettered tires with like new tread mounted on Super Stock II wheels painted to match the body color. All four wheels have chrome lug nuts with the bolt-on center caps, and the beauty trim rings. This Olds has a 12-bolt rear-end, but we are unsure of the gear ratio. It does have boxed control arms, and a rear sway bar for maximum traction. This Olds sits up just right with newer Monroe shocks and newer springs, so the suspension is really nice. The original trunk floor had some minor repair, and was then coated with A/C Delco factory Black and Aqua spatter spray for the trunk to stay in nice condition for many years to come. There is a newer rubber trunk gasket, and inside the trunk is a new trunk mat that carries a full size Super Stock II spare with an original restored jack and crow bar. This way if there is ever a mishap on the road with a quick tire change you can still look complete. The frame is still in good condition. A lot of the chrome was replaced or is in very nice drivers quality condition. The front and rear bumpers shine very nicely. The original dash pad is in very nice shape. An AM/FM Cassette player is mounted in place where the factory radio normally goes. Time to break out those old cassette tapes again, because the cassette player still works great. The dash was not cut to fit, because that stereo was made for all Cutlass models. A factory AM or AM/FM stereo can easily go back in place for that originality look if the new owner so desires. There is a newer battery with newer positive and negative battery cables, spark plugs, spark plug wires, rotor, distributor cap, fuel pump, pcv valve, air filter, and the oil was recently changed. This car has power steering and power brakes. Steering these cars is simply a delight, and stopping with a newer power brake booster, and the newer master cylinder with newer brake lines is always reassuring. There is a newer water pump and a four core radiator for maximum cooling. The wipers work on both speeds with newer wiper blades. All four head lights, bright lights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, all four cornering lights, emergency flashers, and even the license plate light all work as they should. The turn signals both shut off properly when a turn is made. The speedometer and odometer work properly, and the gas gauge is accurate. The horn and lighter do not work. There is the rear defogger option that still works. The rearview mirror has the map light option that even works. There is a factory Oldsmobile vanity mirror on the passenger side sun visor. The original 1970 owner's manual is included inside the glove box. This Rally Red beauty starts right up every time. These older classics that have survived for over 40 years are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in this color combination. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide currently has the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 listed at $38,800 in high condition, $20,800 in average condition, and $12,300 in the lowest condition value, which would be considered as the price for a car needing a complete restoration. I'm not saying that this is a Barrett-Jackson museum piece by any stretch of the imagination, but it still appears in pretty nice condition. Why pay the crazy prices for the same looking car when you can have one that looks almost exactly the same for a fraction of the price. No one will know except us, and the winning bidder, and we're not telling anyone. I feel confident when I say that everywhere this car is driven, you will be the spectacle of the neighborhood. Whatever this classic Oldsmobile ends up selling for in this no reserve auction is a win/win investment. This Olds is an investment that I believe will continue to rise as these cars have shown to consistently escalate in value with each quarter. These GM A-Body muscle cars are the finest handling cars I have ever driven. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or maybe wants to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. There is no finer muscle car on the planet in my eyes than the 1970-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass/442. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your dream car at a nominal price. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description, so every potential bidder can make the most informed decision prior to placing their bid. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like.
