  1. I don't think I would want the tires. Let think about this for awhile. I'm in Dallas TX area and might be able to find some around here if I look and put out feelers. If I remember correctly from my last T, these wheel and hub assemblies probably weigh about 10 to 15 lbs each. I will check on how much to ship them here.

  2. It is almost impossible to tell if this car has been cloned. the only sure fire way is by factory or dealer documentation. Does it have the protect-o-plate? Window sticker? Maybe an original build sheet? Other than that, all parts can be added to make it appear to be real.

  3. Sorry for the late reply but I have been on vacation. The pics you linked to are not my car but it is just like that one. that car is owned by Mike Kulp and is the one on the OCA poster depicting Olds 442's through the years. Mine has different wheels than Mike's, I have the N78 wheels that look like the 79 Hurst Olds wheels but are painted grey, not gold. Still haven't found out about the number of these cars produced with 4-speed.

  4. Leo, I too, am a fan of the Salon Slopebacks. I have a 78 442 with factory four speed, corporate 305 engine, black and gold, with N78 wheels (grey ones), bucket seats, power locks, Limited slip rear, AC, and some other options. I love my car. It seems to be a lot quieter than its notchback cousins. I have people ask me about the "hatchback" and I have to explain to them its not a hatchback. I can't prove any numbers, but have heard that there were less than fifty built with the 442 option and 4-speed transmission combination. Maybe Steve can put this rumor to rest.

  5. The thermometer is loose in mine. I do not know what material is used to secure the glass into the body. As far as shaking down the fluid, I've tried every thing I can think of to get the fluid back down. Even put into boiling water and then froze it. Nothing has worked. Thought there might be a repair kit available with a new thermometer.
