On May 30, 1970, racing legend Rodger Ward wheeled a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Pace Car around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, leading a field of racers that included A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Mark Donohue and Dan Gurney. When the checkered flag flew and the smoke cleared, the 4-4-2 carried a jubilant Al Unser around the brick on a victory lap while thousands of spectators cheered. A.B. Shuman wrote an account of driving the 1970 4-4-2 Olds pace car around the Brickyard for Motor Trend that year. He seems to have been suitably impressed:

"Out of turn 2 and down the back straight, the speedometer needle buried somewhere past 120, our hair blowing all over the place, the 4-4-2 was stable and straight as could be. In the turns, the handling and feel were remarkable for a car of this size and weight (about 4,000 pounds). Acceleration was very strong up through 110 indicated and then seemed to peak a bit. The only real problem seemed to be from the wind, which kept blowing my moustache into my line of vision."

Purchased from the Sam Schmidt Collection this 442 is one of the finest examples available in Indianapolis 500 Pace Car History. The overall condition is extremely exquisite and correct down to the very last detail. It has been treated to a sub frame-off restoration and not a penny was spared in the process! So much attention to detail was given and it is very apparent when you look through the interior, the undercarriage and view the amazing paint job.

Finished in Porcelain White with painted black stripes and red accents, the exterior shows beautifully with virtually zero flaws in the paint.

The carpeting, door panels and dash are excellent and the original radio is still operable and sounds great! All gauges, horn, blinkers and wipers are in working order including the AC.

Under the hood, you’ll find the 455-CID V-8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor matched with a 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. The engine bay is presented beautifully with all the correct parts. The car sits upon the original rally rims with correct Firestone tires. The trunk houses the correct spare tire and jack.
