  Rare V-code 442. #s matching motor, trans, rear, carb and colors.

  Documented with original build sheet, It was born like you see it.

  75,142 actual miles, same owner from the late 1980s until 2021.

  Very nice, unabused condition. California built car. The V in the

  vin number designates this is a 4-speed car and the motor is 20 hp

  more than the standard 455. We don't know exactly how many were

  made but it was hundreds, not thousands.

  EXTERIOR: Very solid, straight car. I didn't find any problem

  areas, no bubbles or rust. The panels fit real nice. Original

  quarter panels. Repainted it's original Pewter Silver color. The

  metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat is glossy. The

  black W-29 stripes are nicely painted on. A rear spoiler, sport

  mirrors and no vinyl top add to it's muscle appeal. The chrome and

  trim is overall good. The rear bumper has the cutouts for the

  exhaust which was on the 455 cars only. The 442 grills and the

  taillights are excellent. Jambs are clean, weatherstrips were

  replaced. Original glass, the windows are tinted. The SS wheels are

  good original shape.

  INTERIOR: Unabused. The dash area is not broken, cut or bear up. It

  has the rallye gauge cluster and the famous tic toc tachometer. It

  also has rare 4-speed console in great shape. The carpet is real

  nice, it has a set of reproduction Oldsmobile mats. It also has

  complete set of GM seatbelts. The seat upholstery is very nice,

  headliner is tight, door panels are excellent. It also features a

  sport wheel and rear defroster. $2,000 stereo was recently

  installed.

  ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Vin # matching original 455 motor. The V code

  cars used a W-30 cam and heads. This engine was professionally

  rebuilt locally by Powersource. It was magnafluxed and balanced. On

  top it has a Pertronix ignition hidden under the stock cap, ultra

  rare original Quadrejet carb unique to a 4-speed car and a dual

  snorkel air cleaner correct for a V code. It was upgraded with a

  set of headers which are covered in heat wrap.

  TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is clean and complete. Solid metal with no

  rust or patches. Neatly spatter painted. The silver is painted real

  slick. It has working trunk light and power trunk release.

  Excellent weatherstrip, decals and correct 2 piece mat. It also has

  a 5th matching spare tire and wheel. Complete jack assembly and lug

  wrench.

  UNDERSIDE: Underneath this car looks to be very solid and proper.

  It has the rallye suspension which includes swaybars and boxed rear

  control arms. The front end components are clean, look like they

  were rebuilt/replaced. In back the bushings, springs and shocks

  look very recent. It has a dual exhaust with crossover pipe,

  Flowmaster mufflers and the correct trumpet tips. The brakes were

  the originals which helps verify the low miles. They have been

  recently rebuilt. The e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor

  it is clean, It has a new high torque starer.Vin # matching M-20

  Muncie 4-speed.New Hurst Competition Plus shift linkage and clutch

  linkage parts. It was a 3.23, now upgraded with a 3.73 posi. It

  also has an aluminum W-27 cover.

  This is a genuine investment GM muscle car. Rare, authentic and

  desirable!
