1971 Oldsmobile 442

There was a brief period when "Oldsmobile" meant "rocket". Saw this car for sale at Searsport Motors in Searsport, Maine last week. I don't know...the 4 4 2 looks a little aftermarket. And it looks like Hurst shift in there, but I see no clutch pedal. Maybe it's the real deal, I don't know these cars. We posted a '71 Cutlass convertible a while back. Not a 442 but it did have the power option and was a cool 1-owner car.
