Vehicle Description
HIGHLIGHTS:
BODY OVERVIEW:
The iconic G-body styling of the 442 remains untouched and unmodified, a true rarity in today's market. The body lines are crisp, the panels are straight, and the factory fit and finish are exactly as Oldsmobile intended. From the sporty factory graphics and iconic 442 badging to the sleek aero-friendly front end, this car is a rolling tribute to 1980s design and performance.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The Dark Teal Blue Metallic finish is breathtaking. Imperfections are practically non-existent, and you would be hard-pressed to find a cleaner 1986 example. The original paint holds a deep, rich shine, and the factory pinstriping remains sharp and intact. This vehicle has been meticulously preserved and properly cared for its entire life.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Step inside, and you are instantly transported to 1986. The plush blue velour seats look, feel, and even smell new. To preserve the immaculate nature of the interior, extra care is taken during transport. The dashboard, door panels, and headliner are in showroom condition. Every switch, button, and power function works perfectly, including the windows, locks, and original radio.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood sits the original, smooth-running Oldsmobile 307 cubic inch V8, paired with the factory automatic transmission. The car starts, runs, and shifts with incredible mechanical smoothness. Power steering and power brakes make for an effortless and relaxing cruising experience, while the sport-tuned suspension keeps the car planted. This 442 is a turn-key preservation vehicle that requires no mechanical sorting.
