Vehicle Description
A 1966 Oldsmobile 442 hardtop dressed in red makes for a great
muscle car look. As you dig deeper, you're going to see the right
mix of vintage style and terrific upgrades. So you have the correct
(and rare) 442 motor, tri-power on top, and four-on-the-floor. This
is joined by an upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and an
upgraded dash for a terrific total package that's made to be
enjoyed.
The 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass is already a great-looking car. The
extra wide headlights and stacked taillights gave these a mature
appearance that let them own the road. But this straight-laced
classic coupe has a serious wild streak thanks to the Holiday
hardtop body and correct tri-color 442 badging. And the upgrade to
red later in life was the right call. It's a professional
application that looks good against the shining bumpers, and at the
same time, it gives this muscle car the appropriate flair. This is
a cool classic, but it's also not meant to be a museum piece. In
fact, while the wheel may have some resemblance to the classic
Super Stock units, and the redline tires are retro-cool, it's
actually a modern 20-inch package made to let this wear grippy
modern rubber.
The black interior looks great against the red exterior. It's dark,
well-kept, and has the right amount of texture in the upholstery to
feel premium. Two wide rows of bench seats make this a fun classic,
but there's more to the story. This one is subtly upgraded to be a
better cruiser. That's why you have the retro-style AM/FM radio.
And there are nice stock pieces for a better driver, like the
fold-down center armrest, a grippy dual-spoke steering wheel, and
power steering. Plus, the tilt column and Dakota Digital gauge
upgrade give you a commanding driving position. And the integrated
tach goes quite well with the Hurst floor shifter.
We all love the look of the Oldsmobile golden motor under the hood.
And you'll love being about to tell people that this is a rare
era-correct 442-specific E-code 400 cubic-inch block. While that is
the kind of history we love in a muscle car, this era is all about
power. So it's awesome to see a triple set of Rochester dual-barrel
carburetors. This tri-power monster motor fires up nicely, and it
makes a great sound out of the H-pipe dual exhaust. The four-speed
manual transmission gives you full control over the full power and
speedy soundtrack. Plus, take some time to look underneath. There
you'll spot some terrific upgrades, like the Global West tubular
front control arms, a four-link rear with boxed arms, sway bars
front and rear, KYB shocks, and a terrific four-wheel power disc
brakes upgrade.
The sale comes complete with a car cover, new seatbelts, and new
sun visors. This is the classic 442 with a nice sense of style and
upgraded driver confidence to really enjoy the power out on the
road. So it makes for a terrific coupe that you just know needs to
be in your garage. Call today!!!
