Oldsmobile 442 Rally "Goodyear Grabber" 1970

[CORRUPTEDDISC]

Campaigned from 1969 by James Garner and later by Rod Hall, this all aluminium V8 powered beast was used for rallying (as you can probably tell).

I'd love to pit this classic 'murican rally car up against the more modern WRC machines on GT6.

Only Olds I'd really like to see in the game is the 'Hurst Hairy...'

That's a '70 442, not a '69

I'm just saying it is a '70 442 not a '69, so the thread title should be changed.

So, how did he race a '70 model...in '69?...

I think they aimed at this car, the one from 1969.

Model years start in September of the previous year in the US. So he would have had access to a 1970 car by Septemember 1969. Definitely doable.

Can't supply the right picture?
Many thanks!

I think of an Olds 442 rallying and this song comes to mind.



Awesome suggestion, tho. 10/10 would rally.
