Description

I HAVE FOR SALE A VERY RARE 1967 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS 442 CONVERTIBLE WITH BUCKET SEATS, FACTORY TILT SPORT WHEEL AND
FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. ONE OF ONLY ABOUT 3,150 CONVERTIBLES BUILT. THIS CAR WAS SOLD NEW AT RUDMAN OLDSMOBILE
INC. IN HIGHLAND PARK FLORIDA ON DECEMBER 21,1966. THIS WAS A ONE OWNER CAR UNTIL 2001 WHEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER
PASSED AWAY AT 99 YEARS OF AGE. HE LEFT THE CAR TO HIS DAUGHTER WHO SPENT OVER $7,000 IN THE EARLY 2000'S TO HAVE
THE ORIGINAL ENGINE REBUILT, TRANSMISSION REBUILT, BRAKES AND NUMEROUS OTHER ITEMS REBUILT OR REPLACED. THE CAR
HAD JUST OVER 100,000 MILES AT THE TIME. I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS FOR THE WORK SHE HAD DONE.
I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM HER IN 2008, IT STILL HAD 100% ORIGINAL PAINT AND THE ORIGINAL TOP FROM 1966. THE
PAINT WAS A LITTLE TOO FAR GONE TO BE A NICE SURVIVOR PAINT CAR HAVING NUMEROUS AREAS OF LACQUER CRACKING AND SOME
SPRAY CAN TOUCH UPS IN A FEW AREAS WHERE HER FATHER HAD SCRAPED THE SIDES OF THE CAR ON THE GARAGE. IN 2009 I
STARTED THE RESTORATION OF THE CAR, I COMPLETELY STRIPPED THE CAR OF ALL TRIM,EMBLEMS, RUBBER GASKETS AND BUMPERS.
THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WAS ALSO REMOVED BEFORE GOING TO THE BODY SHOP. THE ENTIRE CAR WAS STRIPPED TO BARE METAL,
ANY MINOR RUST WAS REPAIRED WITH NEW METAL. ALL DENTS WERE PULLED OUT AND FINISHED. ONLY A VERY MINIMAL AMOUNT OF
FILLER WAS USED TO SMOOTH THE BODY AND MAKE IT LASER STRAIGHT. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS REMOVED, BUMPERS, FENDERS,
RADIATOR SUPPORT AND INNER FENDERS. I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME BEFORE PAINTING WITH THE FRONT END OFF SO THAT I COULD
PERSONALLY DETAIL THE FRAME, ENGINE, HEATER BOX AND AIR CONDITIONING AND ALL COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
THE RADIATOR SUPPORT, INNER FENDERS AND HEATER BOX WERE ALL POWDER COATED IN LOW GLASS BLACK. THE HEATER CORE
