1969 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe Numbers Matching

Engine / Driveline

This is a numbers-matching 1969 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Holiday Coupe. It has a 400 cubic inch V-8, urbo Hydramatic 400 transmission, nd a 10-bolt Posi-Traction rear end. The car was running and driving a little less than a year ago. As of right now, hen hooked to a battery the engine will crank but it does not turn over. No fuel to carburetor. Still has original Rochester 4-barrel carburetor. Factory air conditioned car with original Frigidaire components still installed. Power steering and power brakes need to be redone. Drum brakes all the way around. New suspension is needed all the way around. Exhaust system including mufflers look like they're original to the car.

Interior

Red cloth interior with front bucket seats and center console with floor shifter and rallye gauges. Aftermarket cassette deck in place of the original radio has been installed. Dashboard has minimal cracking for its age. Package tray below rear window is intact. Seats are intact but show their age. Original headliner is still in the car. Door panels are original but they are beyond repair. The entire interior is original, ut it will all need to be redone. Windows roll up and down but will need alignment. The car will need a new front windshield, ut the rest of the glass is usable. Gauges still light up. Has correct "442"emblem on glove compartment door. All seatbelts are still there. Odometer shows 155,255 miles.

Body

The exterior body of the car has rust in all of the typical A-body areas. It will need patch panels. Floor pans have some smaller rust areas but are repairable. Oldsmobile side marker lamps are still in place. Rear bumper is in good condition but will need to be re-chromed. Bottom edge of trunk lid has a little rust. Trunk lid emblems were missing when I bought the car but it comes with the original "442"fender emblems for both sides. Original jack instruction stickers are still on underside of trunk lid. Trunk interior is in overall good condition. Original jack and rear trailer hitch are still with the car. Gas cap is missing (I have taped it off). Car was in a light fender bender on the front passenger side many years ago under the previous owner. The very front passenger side of the frame is slightly warped and the bumper mounting point is bent backward a little. The affected area is shown in the pictures provided. However, his is very repairable and the affected area will only need to be slightly straightened if a frame-off restoration is done to the car. Front bumper has since been replaced and is very shiny and in good condition. Front passenger fender was replaced (by previous owner) with a fender off of a '69 Cutlass. Hood is original and has been repaired with bondo. The hood is very straight and the original "442"emblems are still in place, ut have some bubbling on driver side. The car will need new front passenger headlight bezel. Rearview mirror is in good condition. Original antenna is in good condition. Paint is original, ut needs to be redone.

Wheels

Car has Oldsmobile Rallye II wheels with snap-in center caps. 2 center caps are missing (passenger side). I believe these wheels are off of a 1972 model. According to my research, 969 model year 4-4-2 cars should have the bolt-on center caps. New tires are needed.

This 1969 4-4-2 is an EXCELLENT frame-off restoration candidate with lots of potential. It was purchased new in New Mexico and moved to West Texas a few years later where it spent most of its life. I purchased it about 6 months ago from the original family with the intention of restoring it, ut I will be moving soon and will no longer have the space for the build so it's time to find it a good home.
