1967 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
SOLD

The Oldsmobile 442 was a muscle car made between 1964 and 1980. The name was revived for some later years as well, but the era stated above is arguably the most interesting one. As is the name. Sounds pretty random, doesn’t it? 442 or 4-4-2. Well, you see, it has a meaning, because the original 442 came with a 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission and 2 exhausts (dual exhaust configuration). Now do you get it? We had to do some research too, to get it. Either way, we have a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 Supreme for sale right now from Statham, Georgia. The car is a numbers-matching example with a 4-speed Muncie, a 400ci V8 and original 442 badging too. Grab it quick!
