Its fine having a project to finish off, a car that you can take from a barebones restoration to a finished off product, but life is obviously a lot easier if you have the cash to buy a vehicle completely restored and in fine condition.

This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 is exactly that with a numbers matching powertrain and is the finished product you could be proud of any show.
It has all the W30 goodies you would expect, like the W30 Hood and sports mirrors, the fine Matador Red paint and white stripes, except for the replaced factory bumper guards all seems original.
The car has had a full restoration with all original parts going back on it, apart from things like the weather stripping and all seals around the glass.

As you would expect, the interior is just as impressive, looking immaculate from the carpets to the pristine dash and seats. It has bucket seats with a his and hers shifter, tilt column and factory sports wheel. It even comes with the original AM/FM radio and 8 track under the dash.

The powertrain consists of a numbers matching 455, going to a 400 Turbo transmission, Posi Grip Rear end with a 3.23 gearing.
It has power steering, disc brakes on the front, along with factory working A/C.

In total, this is a complete and finished off vehicle in fine condition at a current bid of $19,400.
Oldsmobiles don’t fetch as much as some of their other 1970 counterparts, but you do get the same quality, feel and excitement from a ride like this as you would do from its contemporaries, so maybe shortlist this baby if you’re on the lookout for a muscle car classic.
