Another One Bites The Dust

An Olds guy named "Hotrod Harry" owned that car for years. It had a blown 403 in it. It must have been one of the mystical "solid main webs" 403. It was in New Jersey and for sale 15 years ago.

Guess the wrong guy bought it.

Youre sure about that ? The cars on the east end of Long Island. It looks like it was pretty rough to begin with. I saw it when it was still on the frame and the paint and body work wasnt too good. Interior might have been out before it got to the yard. Im thinking its been there for close to 8 or 9 years.

Imagine the looks you get when you pull in a gas station and pop your hood to fill up.

I was talking about the magazine car. The "442". It was owned by "Hotrod Harry" somewhere in New Jersey and it was for sale on the then,, "Bryceman's" 442.com before the site was sold to "Brothers Parts". I don't know anything about the the junkyard car. I haven't seen Hotrod Harry mentioned on any Oldsmobile forums for 15+ years. Others probably remember the car or the owner.

I saw the 442 for sale recently on I think Ebay.

My murky memory is telling me I remember that car in the parking lot at Riverhead Raceway some 25+ years ago. Hotrod had a 69 Chevelle in 83 with a paint scheme very similar to that.
