Which engine did he start with? 400? 3:42 gears were "perfect" for a good running Olds.

Thumbs up Re: '69 Olds 442 455
Great car...great year (my HS grad. yr.)...nothing but the best of memories from 1969...

A buddy of mine had an Olds 455 on an outboard low profile speed boat... We had it on Lake Tahoe in California for a few years for water skiing... It was one the baddest boats on the lake...(and very, very loud)...

That 442 Olds is the envy of the baby boom generation... Love it... Thanks for sharing the all around profile...

I use to work at that facility in the 70s & 80s when we built the Cutlass, 88, 98 & Toronados. Maybe it was a Friday night car.
