    I think the 1970 442 W-30 was a very serious opponent to the 70 GSX Stage 1! Gorgeous car.

    So glad you found him in AZ, Lou. That 442 looks fantastic! Olds really did a great job on their interiors, too.

      Sounds like the factory W30 auto trans .474/474 308/308 cam. I put the factory W30 stick cam in a 455. It had a slightly nasty idle, sounding awesome at those chrome exhaust trumpets. Thank you for having your beautiful car on thus video.

      Hi Kris Bierman, Glad you would enjoy this one :-) Sometimes I use mic on the camera and it's usually ok, other times off the camera and it's not so good, bottom line is you do the best you can to the best of your ability and hope for the best. No purchase this time, however let's hope the Channel grows to the point where that is part of the stories too :-) Lou

      I’m 16 and dreamt of owning a car from the muscle car era since I knew what a car was. Right now I own a 92 Ford Taurus SHO MT-5 (rare manual SHO), and it’s not exactly a muscle car, but I still love it. I also have a 1979 camaro project but I don’t drive it that much since I live in Arizona and it doesn’t have air conditioning

    Real nice car but little things wrong. Spacing of 442 on trunk is wrong. 4 and 4 are supposed to b almost touching each other and the 2 has a bigger space from the middle 4. Thats how they came from factory just a little thing that makes car look wrong. Not big deal but people who know they know what im talkimg about with the spacing
