This is my first car. I bought it in 1980, while in HS, for $1100, and still have it. It's a 1965 Olds 442. Original 400 ci engine, rochester 4GC carb, and close ratio muncie M-21 tranny, originally 3.55 posi rear, now 3.36.
The first year for the 442 was 1964. That car came with a HiPo 330 ci engine, and only a 4 spd tranny. 442 stood for 4 spd, 4 BBL, dual exhaust.
For 1965, 442 stood for 400 ci engine, 4 BBL carb, Dual exhaust. Has factory rear sway bar . There were about 3500 1965 442 convertibles made, of which about 1600 were 4 spds. This car was originally Saffron yellow, a pale yellow, but I painted it burgundy while in HS.
