1971 oldsmobile 442 (Needs Restoration or for parts)

1971 Oldsmobile 442 Description

This is a restoration project vehicle or for parts. 455 Block casting #396021F (serial numbers are too worn to see the numbers). G heads casting #409100. Still has original Protecto Plate. Has original 12 bolt posi rear differential (note: a potential buyer told me that 71 rear ends were 10 bolt, maybe because this one was built Dec 1970 it still had the 12 bolt, or possibly the 12 bolt is not original). The tranny is 400 Turbo, not original (the plate on the tranny has the numbers 494;75B;I19959). Original wheels. Bucket seats. The original hood is not there. Will need floor pans, trunk floor, rear quarters, and gas tank replaced. We removed the points distributor and replaced with electronic ignition. Had the motor running but battery went dead and also has an oil leak so we didn't go for a second start. You can see the video of the engine running here: https://youtu.be/h5v3ogtR874
