Oldsmobile 442

Perhaps whe should review ebays handling of this also, nevermind the scale does not go that low I see. Paid for an Item (deposit) which I never recieved being the high bidder on a no reserve auction. Complained to ebay and paypal, never got an ounce of help from either of you. THEN DESPITE ME BEING RIPPED OFF YOU ALLOWED THE SELLER TO RELIST THE ITEM I HAD WON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job ebay way to keep it fair and clean. Future items I wish to purchase will NOT BE DONE WITH EBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is also the point where I would like to tell you thanks FOR NOTHING which is exactly what I got, except for $450.00 in additional charges to recover my money. TERRRIBLE SERVICE BY EBAY AND PAYPAL, please allow me to voice it again with the attorney general in my state and the state of GEORGIA!!

I have always liked these cars when i was a teenager and never had one, just rode in a buddy's. Now being an adult (30's) i could afford getting this one at a affordable price with very little needed to bring it to show car qaulity. It needed minor things when i got it, but that comes with the age of the car. I wasn't to excited about the motor because it is a race engine and i was looking for original stock engine qualities, but that will be changed in the future. I love the potential that it has and how clean (no rust issues) it was, inside and out. I look forward to enjoying this car every nice day we get here in wis. and to meet many new people in various car collectable shows and clubs.

First let me say; GEEZE PEOPLE! This is supposed to be a review of the CAR! Not the sleaze bag that sold you a junker! If you don't have any honest experience with a real, correct, and running 442, please don't write a bunch of smack about a bad seller while undermining a "VERY" good car with your lousy ratings! Allow me to further state that a real 442 was only made from 64 through around 72. I'm not including 442's with Chevy engines either. :-/
I have had at least four of these incredible machines, with my two favorites being a 67 with a 455 transplant & 4 speed trans. "GREAT" car!
The other of my favorites is the one in the title, a 1970 442 W30, complete with all the correct "W" parts & 4 speed.
Oldsmobile wrote the book on muscle with elegance and comfort.
Performance? How does 500 ft lbs of torque with an underrated 370 HP through a 4 spd trans grab Ya? (It's a well known fact amongst Olds enthusiasts that the HP ratings were taken from a lower than optimum RPM, so they could slip these bad boys by the insurance companies.)
Both my 67 and 70 Oldsmobile's have recorded times of mid 13 seconds through the traps on "street tires" on a quarter mile sprint.
Durability? They were also known as the car you could race the heck out of, then drive it to work all week afterwards without breaking stuff. (I'm referring to a stock set up here.)
Comfort? Those Astro buckets were made for comfort. Olds had a reputation for being comfortable anyway. ;-)

I was lied to on auction Info and from numerous emails and no one from ebay protection did anything at all. and it`s not right that the seller was able to get away with ripping me off.

Unhappy in FLORIDA
