The 1969 Oldsmobile 442 remains one of the standout names from the muscle car era, and this example, listed as a Barn Finds Exclusive, offers something especially appealing: a documented, numbers-matching car with Canadian roots and a solid foundation already in place.
Located in Cayuga, Ontario, this 442 is described as a numbers-matching example built in Oshawa, Canada, with documentation that includes its protecto-plate. The car was originally sold in Calgary, Alberta, adding to its traceable history and giving it a clear story from new to present day. The seller is asking $22,500 Canadian and is open to hearing offers.
Power comes from the factory 400 cubic-inch V8, paired with a THM 400 three-speed automatic transmission. The seller notes that the car runs excellently and that the choke functions properly on cold starts, suggesting it can be started and enjoyed while plans for further work are considered.
The color combination is another highlight. This 442 is finished in Meadow Green with a dark green vinyl roof, paired with a parchment interior featuring bucket seats and a center console. That combination reflects the kind of factory styling choices that defined the late 1960s and helps set this car apart from more common color schemes.
The seller notes that several important updates have already been completed. These include a new windshield, new exhaust, a rechromed front bumper, a new front grille, and T3 headlights. The car also rides on factory 14-inch wheels with new tires installed, and an additional set of 15-inch wheels with caps and rings is included with the sale.
While the car is described as running well, the seller is upfront about it still needing some TLC. However, they also emphasize that they have collected everything needed to complete the car from top to bottom, and that those parts will go with the vehicle. That combination—a running, documented car with parts included—can make a big difference for someone looking to take a project to the next level.
The car is also noted as being a non-Posi example, which is an important detail for buyers who are particular about factory specifications. With its numbers-matching drivetrain, documented Canadian history, and included parts, this 1969 Oldsmobile 442 offers a strong starting point for someone looking to complete a classic muscle car the right way.
Love seeing 442s out on the road. 👍 😎
$16,300 USD is pretty fair.
Decent looking car. Hope tot finds a good home.
Posi, or limited slip was not as common as people have come to think. For your bread and butter muscle car it was pretty rare, most were ordered for stock (inventory) by dealers and that box was left unchecked. Look at Marti Reports, the majority of 428 CJ cars came with open differentials, that’s the case with most makes, unless it was part of a performance package. It’s an easy addition for new owners if they want it, the argument that its addition takes away from a cars “originality” is lazy, there is no way to tell by looking if it has been added.
