1969 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible 4-Speed

This 1969 Oldsmobile 442 convertible was fitted with a 455ci V8 and repainted in blue with white stripes during a refurbishment before the current owner’s acquisition in 2020. Power is routed through a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end, and further equipment includes an Edelbrock carburetor, a Torker intake manifold, long-tube headers, Flowmaster mufflers, a power-operated white convertible top, Super Stock II wheels, power steering, front disc brakes, and trumpet-style exhaust finishers. The cabin is outfitted with black vinyl bucket seats, a center console, a Hurst shifter, a push-button radio, and a heater. This 442 convertible is now offered on consignment by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, with a clean Arizona title.

The body has been repainted in blue with white stripes on the hood and pinstripes on the decklid. Exterior equipment includes a power-operated white convertible top, quad headlights, chrome beltline trim, and dual exhaust outlets with trumpet-style finishers. The power-operated antenna is disconnected.

Super Stock II 15? wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires, and a matching spare is stowed in the trunk. The power steering and front disc brake systems are power-assisted.

The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in black vinyl, and woodgrain trim accents the dashboard. The center console houses a Hurst shifter and a storage compartment, and a push-button radio and heater controls remain in the factory locations.

The Custom Sport steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and a combination gauge. A trio of aftermarket readouts is mounted below the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 47k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 455ci V8 was installed under prior ownership, and it breathes through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor atop a Torker intake manifold.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. Long-tube headers are linked to a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers.
