1986 olds 442 rare "race or stunt ready"

Not mine.

Does anyone know if ASC actually did convert some of these?

1986 olds 442 rare "race or stunt ready"


Ive been kicking the idea of selling my 1986 olds 442 convertible 67k miles on body. (Note they only made a few hundred of these) A company back in 1986 called "ASC" American Specialty Cars, convert it over to a convertible. There aren't many of these car still around. But anyways just a little info on mines. It's a 1986 olds cutlass 442, with a 408 stroker motor built, 250 shot of nos, 350 turbo tci transmission 2800-3200 stall converter, REAREND QUICK PERFORMANCE FORD 9INCH 31 SPLINE AXLES 4.10 GEAR RATIO. COMPETITION ENGINEERING 3 WAY ADJUSTABLE DRAG SHOCKS 90/10 FRONT 70/30 REAR. BMR UPPER AND LOWER ADJUSTABLE CONTROL ARMS. Will give full specs on motor trans ect to serious buyers. The cutlass has been been took all the way down to bare metal and build back up, no bondo or rust anywhere on this car! Has two speakers and horn in the grill for quality sound, also with two 6x9s in the back seat panels and two tweets in the dash. Has a double din dvd/ cd player in the dash. Car has 24" rims on it right now. You have to see this car in person to admire its beauty, pictures do this car no justice, im sure im missing alot of other things to tell bout the car but the list goes on and on. Oh it does have a Dakota Digital dash. Come out check the car out see for your self!

ASC was American Sunroof Corp when they chopped the roof on that car. They didn't change to specialty cars until 2004 and went bankrupt soon after. They did convert some cars. They were based in the Dallas area in Farmer's Branch in the late 70s, early 80s. Sunroofs, T- tops mostly.

You would have a better chance of selling this car if you would get rid of those godawful wheels. They are UGLY.

Ya and the convertible top looks like they draped a blanket over the convertible frame. It looks like crap where it meets the bottom of the B pillar.

Nice color on your car, clean interior too. You should try listing it in different larger cities on Craigslist like Las Vegas, Phoenix and LA. You should do well.

I remember in the 1980s they were "converting" the Lordstown, Ohio GM Plant, Sunbird and Cavalier into convertibles. People who worked there said, once a month they would make the "future" convertibles. The cars had extra bracing and the sheet metal was doubled up in stress areas such as corners. The cars were built just the same as the regular cars with headliners etc. They were exactly the same except structurally. They sent them ASC, who then cut off the roofs and turned them into convertibles. They told me that doing it that way was the cheapest and fastest. At the time I thought the car I would have wanted was the prepared hard top.
