Oldsmobile's leap into the muscle car wars was with the car called
the ''4-4-2." That name was derived from the original design of the
car which included a four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual
transmission, and dual exhausts
.
The 1969 badging was shortened to simply ''442'', but Oldsmobile
brochures and internal documents continued to use the ''4-4-2''
model designation.
We have a very nice numbers matching "true Oldsmobile 442", vin
#344879M206340, (all true 1969 442 cars came with the 344879 vin
number) here at Adventure Classics that has that has that
four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual
exhaust and showing only 26000 miles on the speedometer!

Olds 442 badged factory air cleaner.
It has power disk brakes, front & rear stabilizer bars, the correct
boxed trailing arms, all the correct looking hoses and belts and
sits in a very tidy, painted and detailed engine compartment and
the engine is backed by the correct Muncie 4-speed transmission and
