The car left the factory finished in Reef Turquoise (34), and the body was removed from the frame, stripped to bare metal, and repaired before a repaint and addition of white stripes. The fiberglass hood features functional air inlets as well as exposed hood locks, and additional details include body-color sport-styled mirrors, red front wheel well liners, chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets. The white convertible soft top was replaced during the refurbishment along with the pump and hoses.
Super Stock 1-style 14” wheels are mounted with Firestone Wide Oval white-letter tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and stopping power is provided by disc brakes up front and drums out back.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Pearl White vinyl along with color-coordinated upper door panels. The center console houses a Hurst dual-gate shifter, and additional appointments include woodgrain interior accents, black carpets, lap belts, and a retro-style digital media receiver. The dash pad was replaced during the build.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a Rally Pack gauge set consisting of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by a combination gauge and a tachometer with an inset clock. The five-digit odometer shows 41 miles, which is said to represent the distance traveled since completion of the build. True mileage is unknown.
The replacement 455ci V8 was fitted with a COMP Cams camshaft under current ownership and is equipped with a rebuilt four-barrel carburetor atop a Winters aluminum intake manifold. A photo of the engine block stamping is shown in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, and the Positraction rear axle wears an aluminum differential cover. The driveshaft is said to have been replaced during the build.
The VIN shown above is consistent with a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 two-door convertible produced at the Linden, New Jersey, assembly plant.
