Of all the Olds musclecars. I'd love to own a real '66 Olds 442 L79 car. They were fast & extremely rare. I actually delivered a convert frame to a fellow in Minneapolis are about 7 years ago who had what was represented as a real '66 442 L79 track car & he was working on a clone to drive.

Hello, having owned TWO 66 442s with the factory "tri-carb" I know, it's actually option L-69. Yep, they were fast and handled better than other A-body's
