Hi guys, Im fairly new to the group, I recently purchased a 77 olds 442, 403 TH350, from the original owner, its complete, and is a daily driver and documents dating to time of purchase (12/22/1976) including the build sheet and the original spare. Its 99.8% original...Im hoping to make a few connections on here to locate a few parts that I need to get this baby fixed up.Im in WA state.Image title

Nice find from a original owner. Are you still using it as a daily driver? How are the mechanics on it?

Thank you. I am using it as a daily driver, I sold my truck to buy this, lol. Mechanically, its great...the original owner, owned a mechanic shop, so he kept up on everything pretty well. However it drove terrible after I bought it and I found it still had the spiral shocks on it from new. It has nice gas ones now. It just needs a few cosmetic things, thier son had had used it for college in arizona for a few years and it baked the paint and some of the interior trim, other than that, the car had stayed in the portland oregonarea its whole life. The son , after graduating college passed away with cancer, and the olds stayed in the cornerdads shop for the last 8 years until I purchased it a week or so ago. I had no Idea at the time that the 403 cars were so rare, so I intend to bring it back to her former glory...

Its nice that you have some much history on it. 73-77 owners are a little more rare on this site so its nice too see you join!
