1970 Oldsmobile 442

This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible was initially delivered to Money Oldsmobile of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and is finished in the special-order color Sebring Yellow with black hood stripes over black vinyl upholstery.

The cabin is outfitted with woodgrain trim and a Hurst shifter. The car spent time in Colorado, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Illinois and was refurbished between 2006 and 2007 before being acquired by the selling dealer in 2023. This 442 is now offered with a 1969 Money Oldsmobile sales invoice, manufacturer’s literature, a spare transmission, and a clean Illinois title. The car left the factory finished in Sebring Yellow with black hood stripes and is said to have been repainted circa 2007.

The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
