Buy a piece of HOT ROD history, as well as an attention getter, blown mid-engine freak show, and bonafide Street Machine of the Year recipient. This mid-engine Olds 442 had it all in 1978, and it’s on the market right now. Kept in miraculous condition, including its original body stripes with matching interior, what blew everyone’s minds back in those disco days was the blown 403ci Olds hooked to a Toronado transaxle setup, making for mid-engine majesty. With the odd-even-for-1978 aero G-body you had a body configuration begging for something better to see through that big chunk of rear glass than a fuzzy maroon rear seat. Tying it all together were the widened quarter panels incorporating the ducktail. HOT ROD called it “a treat for the senses, a real pulse-pounder, and a car that can’t be driven without a mile-wide smile.” On eBay right now at $20,000 with four bids and no reserve, someone is going to be the proud new owner of this October 1978 HOT ROD cover car. Hope to see you and your Aeroback Olds at Drag Week in September!
