My buddy's 1969 Olds 4-4-2 Convertible


Recommended Posts

Here's a few pics of my best friend's 4-4-2 that I helped him restore about 15 years ago. The restore is starting to show it's age, but it's still a head turner. We tooled around in it for a while yesterday only to find that the gas tank is leaking (badly). Anyone have a lead on a good replacement, let me know.

 

Thanks and enjoy the pics.

The interior is starting to get a bit rough, but he has plans to buy a new setup shortly.

I see your passenger is getting their gangster lean on

 

 

You could call it that :)

 

 

but actually, it's a 1966 passenger side recliner

maybe rarest option available in a GTO

(it also has headrests, but i don't have them on in that picture)

 

it's the first reclining seat ever put in a GM a-body car

didn't come out in chevelles until 1967

less than 1% of a-bodies came with that option...as it was terribly expensive

 

i've been offerred $800 for that stupid seat...because it does the gangster lean :)

Looks solid! The 350 has decent torque, but a 425 or 455 would be a night-and-day difference in power.

 

My friend & I transplanted a 425 "Super Rocket" high-compression motor (out of a '65 Starfire) into his '69 Cutlass hardtop. Damn thing wouldn't hook up on street rubber...
