Lot #1080 - Professionally done, exquisite concours-style rotisserie restoration of a factory produced 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible. It is powered by its matching-numbers 455/365hp V8 and Turbo 400 automatic transmission backed to a 12-bolt 3.23 posi-traction rear axle with a W27 aluminum differential cover. It is finished in its original, special-order, factory color of Aegean Aqua with and ivory interior and white top. Loaded with factory options, including W25 air-induction hood, factory air conditioning, power steering, power top, power windows, power disc brakes, sport steering wheel, bucket seats with console, dual-gate shifter, SSI wheels with correct Goodyear Polyglas raised-white-letter tires, sport mirrors, AM/FM radio, factory gauge package and F41 heavy-duty suspension. The attention to detail is noticeable, from the T-3 headlamps, correct stamped hoses and tower clamps to the factory decals and correct overspray on the highly detailed underside. Photo documentation of the restoration accompanies the vehicle, and with a fresh detail from top to bottom, this 442 convertible is ready to go. It has 162 miles since the complete restoration and is one of 2,933 ever produced.
