Vehicle Description
This 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 W-30 Tribute gets the fundamentals
right. After all, it gives you that awesome big V8 power you love,
bright red style, and an interior correctly detailed, right down to
the buttons on the seats. So this is the kind of hardtop that's
just the ticket for the true muscle car enthusiast.
When you're a proper tribute to a legend, you need to get the
sporty details right. The big twin hood scoops, hood twist locks,
correct 442 badging, and a notched rear bumper for the dual exhaust
really get the look right. And the optional spoiler on the back is
as big as an airplane's wing to make sure people really know to
take notice. So this car has a nice speedy style. Plus, it upholds
the premium image of an Oldsmobile, too, with the shining
form-hugging chrome bumpers. This coupe is correctly finished in
its factory Matador Red. The addition of the white stripes painted
on the hood and funning the full length of the coupe stand out
nicely while also adding to the sporty style. The whole package has
a good shine, but nothing too fancy that you won't be afraid to
enjoy this one out on the streets. And the muscle car motor reminds
you that's exactly what this hardtop was made to do (more on that
in a moment.)
This is a true muscle car, and so a black interior is always top on
the desirability list. This has a cool/classic presentation with
the button-top seats and plenty of wood-like trim. Even the
Oldsmobile AM radio is still there for display. So if you have
family or friends who appreciate vintage style, this one can carry
them in plenty of comfort. But as always, the best seat is always
going to be for the driver. You have front bucket seats with an
armrest center console in-between. And yes, this has the Hurst
His-n-Hers dual gate shifter. Oldsmobile's four-spoke sports
steering wheel feels nice in your hands, and it gives you a clear
view of the full round gauge package, including the upgraded
tach.
Under the hood is one of the best features. It's the mighty 455
cubic-inch V8. This upgrade is a period-correct block with a tidy
setup within the classic red inner fenders. This inhales deeply
with a Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor. It exhales with
added power and authority as a seriously mean set of headers feed
the dual exhaust. Not only do you have true muscle car power, but
it's easy to enjoy thanks to a well-maintained and strong-running
package. There are even nice driving features, like power steering,
a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, front
discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As on Super Stock III wheels.
Oldsmobile made less than 800 Cutlass 442 W-30 coupes in 1972, and
this was the famous generation's final year in production. So this
red-devil tribute gives you all the power you want without having
to pay six-figure price rarity. That makes for an irresistible deal
on an iconic Olds. Call today!!!
