For Sale: 1970 Oldsmobile 442 in Greene, Iowa

Oldsmobile's legendary Cutlass is one of the best examples of GM's muscle car glory days, with their characteristic low profile, wide stance, and flowing bodylines. However, at the top of the lineup, the legendary 4-4-2 reigned supreme. This 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 is about as good as an example as you can find, combining a numbers-matching drivetrain, a highly original interior, and 80,140 believed-to-be original miles. Powered by a behemoth numbers-matching 455 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '70 Olds makes enough power to pull a tree out of the ground. Torque is stomped into the pavement through a 3-speed TH400 automatic transmission, which shifts smoothly and seamlessly as this 4-4-2 cruises down the freeway. Dressed formally as a 4-4-2 should, this example's laser-straight, curvy bodylines are covered with correct 58-code "Burnished Gold" metallic paint, which shines beautifully in the sun. It's only been repainted once, a quality repaint with the original paint still present in the door jambs! It's complimented by a pair of great-looking black rally stripes, which run the length of this 4-4-2's functional ram-air hood and match excellently to the car's black vinyl top. The 4-4-2 badging, tout rear haunches, the dual-intake hood, the rally stripes, and the rear spoiler all combine to create a truly muscular, intimidating look! Additionally, the floors, frame, trunk, and jambs are all original, rock-solid, and in great shape! Opening the twin doors to this 4-4-2's insides reveals a stunning black vinyl interior, complete with comfy patterned bucket seats and a full center console. Added woodgrain trim brings a little bit of luxury flair to the interior, and the original AM radio still sits in the dashboard! Options on this fantastic 4-4-2 include power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, a functional ram-air hood, an aftermarket tachometer, a full center console, "Dual-Sport" mirrors, a remote driver's mirror, under-dash aux. gauges, a heater + defroster, LED headlights, factory hood pins, a rear spoiler, the original AM radio, and a mean-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a sweet set of new Rally Chromed wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires, including a matching spare! Turn the key and that massive 455 V8 starts right up, making sure that this 4-4-2 goes like hell. There aren't too many cars on the market that have the same presence that this one has, in highly-correct condition with an original drivetrain. You're not going to see another quite like it, so don't let it pass you by!
