That's a very nicely done 442. Good color, too. I notice it has the often missing fender to cowl braces that were exclusive to the 442.
I owned a '70 442 for 10 years and it was a great car. It was the substitute for my unfinished GTO. Sweet!!! |

When you said "To the Darkside", I was expecting to see a Ford...lol! A 442 is still "family" IMO. Nice car!

No need to apologize for owning an Olds. I have owned my 442 for 35 years now.

Nice Olds! When you said "dark side", I thought you were stepping up to a "full size" Pontiac!

Super clean 442.....I really like the exterior colors, they work well on GM mid size cars!!
My first car was a 71 GP & it had the same combo. |

Thanks for the kind comments, it's a Nugget Gold, special order colour. The Restoration was done by Troy Thornton 20 years ago, and the car has had less then 5000 miles since the restoration was done. All numbers matching and done right. Looking forward to getting it home

She's a beauty...
I know that you have been looking for a 4-gear 442 for some time and this car was well worth the wait!
GTOTex is right-it's a great addition to your growing classic car collection  .

Best of luck, looks to be a great car. Actually it's making me quite envious.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
