Vehicle Description
This 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 tribute is an awesome restomod
that leaves you wanting for nothing. It has ultra-sleek paint,
custom A/C interior, close-ratio four-speed, upgraded suspension,
and a big V8 that's far meaner than a factory 442. So dig into all
the details, because full custom builds like this are rarely up for
grabs.
This coupe comes with a ton of documentation proving the $$$$
thousands it takes to look this good. But you already knew it just
by the first impression. The Sunburst Orange is a modern
application within the last few years, and the moment the sunlight
hits it, the vivid metallic finish erupts so that the color can
live up to its name. The wraparound chrome bumpers shine
beautifully as they cleanly integrate into the extra wide front and
rear panels. The full-length trim shows off the tri-color 442
badging while also highlighting the straightness of the sheetmetal.
And the pillarless Holiday Hardtop silhouette is what we all want
on a true '60s muscle machine. So this coupe exceeds your
expectations from every angle.
When you open the door, you're greeted by the low-back bucket seats
of the custom two-tone tan supple leather interior. The rear seats,
door panels, dash, custom center console, and even the trunk were
all done to match. The total package was part of over $11k invested
for a full professional interior done in 2018. Not only is this
fresh and premium, but also absolutely comfortable. You have
ice-cold air conditioning, cup holders, and nearly $2k spent on a
custom AM/FM/CD stereo that includes Bluetooth, a USB input, and a
full subwoofer speaker system. And as much as family and friends
will want to go for a ride, the driver is always the priority in
this coupe. You have a grippy sports steering wheel (power
steering) done in the classic Olds four-spoke style. Beyond that is
a full set of AutoMeter gauges. And the large tach goes
particularly well with the Hurst shifter.
Olds fans thought that the 400 cubic-inch V8 was a terrific upgrade
for the 442 in 1965, but the motor seen here can truly blow them
all away. It's an exceptionally tidy 455ci V8, and it has been
bored .60 over to 483 total. This was part of a full rebuild less
than 11,000 miles ago, and they added all the right go-fast
goodies, like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, and long tube headers feeding a H-pipe dual exhaust. This
also has all the right supporting components, like a March
serpentine belt system, MSD ignition, and an aluminum radiator
w/electric fans. You get to take full control over this big V8
power thanks to the Muncie close-ratio M21 four-speed manual
transmission with a new clutch, pressure plate, and hydraulic
throwout bearing. This feeds a beefy Strange Engineering Ford
9-inch rear with limited-slip and 3.56 gears. The rebuilt front
end, fortified rear suspension, and four-wheel power disc brakes
are all part of a stout package that gives you confidence out on
the road.
You already know the time and money it takes to get a total package
that's this awesome. So you also know you're looking at a heck of a
deal. It's time to grab this speedy Cutlass before someone else
beats you to it. Call today!!!
