I was on the hunt for another 442 since I sold some other toys. I can now say I am the owner of a 1984 H/O. Car is mostly original except exhaust and chrome Oldsmobile scripted valve covers. It has t-tops, vinyl interior. Interior is in good shape also (drivers seat has some rips). Car has 81k on it and in overall good driver condition. Paint is dull and one door needs some work at bottom but I am overall pleased and this is a keeper for a slow restoration.

Plans are to fix the rust issues. Repaint/stripe and hopefully repair front drivers seat ( the vinyl has a few rips). I'm not doing any work under the hood since engine and trans operate smoothly.

Stripes are pretty much all the same now from all the vendors out there, I paid $300 for mine from NE Motorsports on eBay and it's the same kit S&S offers, don't spend more than $300 for a set...
I have a few '84 H/O parts leftover from a restoration.
No one makes vinyl seat covers that I know of, if you want to go as far as having a set made I know a guy from H/OCA that has NOS material but it's not cheap...

Thanks for info. What parts do you have left over? I would be interested in keeping the vinyl seats with the door panels.

Congrats on the score! Can't wait to see pics. I plan on getting my stripes for the '83 from Phoenix Graphix.
