Rare Y74 442 Indianapolis Pace Car Convertible for sale
Current customer rating: (387 votes ) based onIf you are familiar with Oldsmobile history and 442's you can skip this intro. For everyone else this is an iconic muscle car that is rapidly appreciating but still affordable. A rare car made for Indianapolis 500 Pace car in 1970 with only 260 convertibles were made and I think only about 160 of those were the big block 455 442's . with. dual gate shifter. limited slip differential. big track front and rear anti-sway bars. Indy 500 stripes and decals etc. Thus a very limited production rare car nearly impossible to copy. What is really fabulous about this car is the combination of ride. power. space. reliability. top down fun and cool factor. This is the real deal with all numbers matching (one tag on tranny missing part of tag but date code all there). rest of numbers on engine. rear end. axle all matching correct for Y74 Pace car. There is a picture in the ad summarizing all the VIN numbers.
442's in some respects the "Gentleman's" Muscle. run with the Chevy's but cool factor and sophistication in the day ! If you drive and inspect this car you will understand why.
We have owned this car for over 15 years and in that time have had everything done to it. nbsp;impeccably maintained and detailed. Best of our knowledge has always been a Dallas TX no salt no snow car.
