This is a real looker at car shows and show winner.You don’t see many of these and everyone flocks around cars these days that are rare. It's a shame that so many enthusiasts overlook Oldsmobile when shopping for an awesome classic. Big block Chevelle’s and aggressively styled GTOs seem to be naturals when it comes to muscle car wish lists. But, in reality, GM's 'more proper' divisions created some of the nastiest stoplight warriors ever unleashed on American streets. Oldsmobile, the General's humble technology division, definitely did its fair share to glorify the rise of Detroit. And this numbers-matching coupe is a prime example of their much lauded 'bar brawler in a tuxedo' sales mentality. Featuring an original drivetrain, an intense Black on Black color combination and an impressive, frame-off restoration, this Olds is one of the coolest A-Bodies on the planet! And if you're looking for a solid, road-ready classic that'll turn heads and bring home trophies, it's yours to take.!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Not long ago, the car underwent a professional restoration, during which all of its panels were stripped and massaged to better-than-factory condition. An era-correct layer of Ebony Black Base Coat/Clear was sealed in modern clear, and buffed to an amazing mirror like finish. All rubber moldings have been replaced and trim is in excellent condition, Chrome has been redone and has an admirable shine.

ENGINE

Hoist the car's mirrored louvered hood and you'll find a correct and equally rare 400 cubic inch Rocket V8, which is branded with a 442-specific 390925F casting number and "V215830G" assembly stamp. Since pre-68 Rocket blocks are devoid of VIN stamps, we can use that assembly code, which translates as 400 cubic inch (V) high compression (G) engine number 215830, to validate this coupe's status as a real-deal, numbers-matching 442. Professionally rebuilt and fully detailed, the hot V8 is a super-efficient wedge head design that utilizes a standard stroke and undersquare bore to create stout 10.5 to 1 compression, 350 horsepower and 440 lb./ft. of stump-pulling torque. Stomp the throttle and a big Holly 4 BBL with Edlebrock Aluminum intake mixes juice from new stainless fuel lines with wind that's supplied by a chrome, single-snorkel air cleaner. At the sides of that carb, correct "C" branded heads hang above restored, cast iron exhaust manifolds, which make quick work of spent gases. And at the back of those heads, a correct points distributor sequences spark through high quality Taylor plug wires. Aesthetically, this Oldsmobile's Satin Black fenders and correct Bronze block look fantastic against its deep Ebony black paint. And the entire engine bay, from its pliable hoses and Delco Moraine brake booster to its tagged Delco battery and vintage Frigidaire AC compressor, features a clean, mostly-correct appearance.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

The bottom of this awesome 442 is completely solid, showing no signs of undue wear or question-inducing battle scars.The aforementioned Rocket 400 fronts a 400 of another sort: a rugged Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed with a shift kit that's pinned with a correct 1967 (67) 442 (OG) assembly tag. That proven transmission sends power to a stout 12-bolt that's equipped with fun, road-friendly gears. That driveline hangs in a mandatory heavy duty suspension, which includes better shocks, thicker coil springs, reinforced control arms and a standard rear sway bar. Power-assisted drums provide braking, while turns come courtesy of factory-correct power steering. At the center of the car, crimped dual 2.5” pipes funnel spent gases through great-sounding turbo mufflers and polished stainless tips. And (2) sets of wheels and tires are included with period correct Styled Steel wheels spin G70-14 Firestone Wide Oval Super Sport redlines around chromed slotted wheels and rocket-branded center caps.

INTERIOR

Inside this impressive Olds, you'll find a correct Black interior that's both comfortable and appealing. At the center of the car, stainless-trimmed seats ride on fresh black carpet that's protected by "442" branded floor mats. At the sides of those seats, clean door panels center modernist armrests in bright chrome handles and straight stainless trim. A warp-free dash, professionally restored by Just Dashes, hangs a correct AM/FM radio over small Auto Meter accessory gauges. At the base of that dash, an optional console frames a stylish, single-gate shifter in boxy trim. In front of the driver, a chrome-trimmed steering wheel with Rocket center logo laps a tilting column. And behind the passengers, a fully restored trunk anchors a full-size spare tire between clean decklid decals and a fresh gray mat.
