Hey Drew,
Sadly speaking the Admiral blue Vette convertible is gone.
Btw I already have a 442 in pink LOL
[ATTACH=CONFIG]40257[/ATTACH]
Congrat's... maybe you can find some redlines for it. I'd say a 'Vette was a fair sacrifice.
Johnny don't paint it to match the pink one, because then everyone will know you can't think straight ;) just kidding my friend that's a nice one are you gonna bring it to the convention?
Congratulations on the 442. Looks sweet. It took me 8 years to find my dream car. A 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge.
When I was in the air force 83 -85 I had a 73 lemans sport coupe just like the gto of that year, I loved that car I have seen another like it, still looking kind of, most I've seen have been junk, great job johnny
Man that is Killer it will defiantly turn heads!can I go for a ride in it?:p no really can I?

Sure ...Come to CA and we'll cruise...I was cruising 40 mph and put the pedal to the metal and she lighted both rear tires for 1/2 a block till I let off in a perfectly straight line...I guess she has posi - traction.
My gosh I can't think !
wow killer ride! you are going to have to get the M2 chase 442 which is almost a dead match for your 1:1 to set on the dash :D
That car is sweet!! Looks like it just rolled off the assembly line! Really diggin the chrome with gold wheels too!
That's a sweet ride Johhny. Let's see under the hood of the beast!
Congrats Johnny! That 442 is SOOOOOOOOO cool!!!
...so is your pink one.

Hey Frank,
I dropped the 442 off at my mechanic today.
It needs an electric fan , rear coil springs and shocks as well as a new header gasket.
My mechanic said he will try to have it ready for the weekend.
I will drive over there tomorrow and snap some pics of the 455 engine.
Robert,
I won't be driving it to the convention because she has no AC LOL!
TO all that have posted I want to express my appreciation.
Many of you that know me have always known that I have wanted one since I sold my 1969 Olds W30
convertible and that I have longed for a 442 for over two decades.
This is my third Olds as I also owned a 1966 442.
I was actually thinking that I would never own another one.
This car literally fell in my lap today.
My vette Mechanic was the sellers mechanic and the owner of the 442 wanted a Vette roadster...so my mechanic hooked us up and the dealing went great!
I had to drop some bones to make up the difference but I am stoked.
More pics to come.

Johnny Thats a Killer Ride. I love the Black and Gold it looks Great. Big Time Congrats on that bad boy!! Take a road trip one day and swing by and pick me up.
CONGRATS on the great looking car. Lovin' that color scheme. Definitely my favorite year of the Cutlass, and to top it off, the big block. SWEET!!!!
ALRIGHT JOHN!!!! I absolutely LOVE IT!!!
I almost picked up a 70 Cutlass Convertible last week, but just missed it by a day, it was gorgeous...the hunt continues...
Wow... I'm almost speechless. It's a headturner for sure. Love the bad boy's color combo. Awesome ride, Johnny. Congrats ~
[B]FANTASTIC! ! ![/B] Olds John! What a black beauty! Congratulations!!!!!!!
Congrats on your new addition! I am glad you were able to pull that beauty in. Absolutely gorgeous! Maybe someday I'll post a similar thread...but don't hold your breath. LOL. Again, Congratulations!
~ James
Congrats Johnny! Super sweet ride! Love the black and gold! Can we get some specs on it?

Scott,
Tell me about the vert you missed out on...sounds interesting.
Hey all,
Thanks for the the nice words.
Here are some pics of the engine.

and the rear spoiler
[ATTACH=CONFIG]40424[/ATTACH]
Wow, beautiful car. Congrats!
Hey thanks guys.
Just a little trivia...when the first 442 came out 442 designated:
4 barrel - 4 speed - dual exhaust
not the cubic inch displacement of the engine.
Congratulations Johnnny!!! I know that you have been looking for the right Olds 442 to come along and that beauty surely fits the bill.
As awesome and killer as it is, I have only one question.
Where are the Redlines on the tires? I think I may have a set of 60 series with Redlines lying in the back of my garage.
I will check the size and call you tonight.
LOL!
Jack
Is it a W30? I don't see the badge. Nice car!
Great looking car! One of the top 3 Muscle Car Bodies of all time!
WOW nice Johnny! Beautiful car! Talk about a great situation...couldn't have worked out any better! Unreal! I've been looking for my car, but too much to devour all at once...and too much to choose from. It's mind boggling sometimes...trying to find the right car. Glad you found yours, and it looks great! Congrats man!
John, this has been bugging me since yesterday...I shouldn't notice these things, but I did... :)

Sold mine a few years back.Gotta love those Olds Lines !

I guess Pimp'n this ride is outta the question...only kidd'n...truly awsome, just need some redlines added to those tires.
Awesome find Homie! I know you always wanted another. Great trade off for the Vette. You should cruise it up here for Cruise Nite on Friday, then continue on to Reno for Hot August Nights.

Congrats!!
Great catch there, Scott. Was wondering about that myself.
[QUOTE=allthingsredline;460061]Is it a W30? I don't see the badge. Nice car![/QUOTE]
Nope not a W30 but a true Sport Coupe 442 !
Thanks for the compliment.

Scott,
Thanks and good lookin out bud.
I ordered the trim piece , fan blade , fan clutch and fan shroud this afternoon from Year One to replace the Flex-a-lite electronic fans installed by the previous owner.
One of the radiator fans seized and is causing the car to overheat.
I appreciate the thoghtfullness...as always!
