Oldsmobile 442 (1969) for Sale in NC

This 1969 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe is a beautifully restored example of American muscle, featuring a powerful 455ci V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car has been refinished in blue with white vinyl hood stripes, chrome bumpers, and distinctive W-30-style air intakes, giving it an aggressive and timeless muscle car look. The paint has been well-maintained, although there is a noted crack in the left drip-rail paint. The 442 sits on 14-inch SSIII-style wheels finished in blue and wrapped in Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. It's equipped with power-assisted front disc brakes, power steering, and both front and rear sway bars for a smooth, controlled driving experience. A stainless steel exhaust system further enhances its performance. Inside, the cabin features a fully refurbished blue vinyl interior, including seats, door panels, and a matching dashboard. A dash cover is included, and the woodgrain trim adds a touch of classic style. The factory AM radio has been disconnected, and while the right window crank can be difficult to operate, the cabin remains a comfortable space for cruising. Under the hood, the 455ci V8 engine was built by Wheeler Racing Engines in Blaine, Minnesota, and is equipped with performance enhancements such as forged TRW pistons, ported and polished cylinder heads, an Engle camshaft, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a Holley 850-cfm Double Pumper carburetor. The engine is also fitted with a W-30-style air induction system and a Mondello oiling system, providing exceptional power and responsiveness. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a B&M Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission and a Positraction rear end.
