Vehicle Description
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, a rare bench
seat-automatic transmission car that's believed to be a genuine
W-30 hardtop. Overhauled with a Mondello camshaft, the massive,
correct 455 C.I. V8 sitting under the hood breathes through a
4-barrel carburetor and cranks out 370 horses into the rear wheels.
Torque is put to the pavement through a numbers-matching 3-speed
automatic transmission, which shifts smoothly and seamlessly as
this 4-4-2 cruises down the freeway. What really sticks out on this
4-4-2 is its show-quality dark green paint, which is laid out over
the laser-straight bodylines beautifully. It's complimented by a
pair of great-looking golden decal stripes, which run the length of
this 4-4-2's ram-air hood and match excellently to the car's
color-matched wheels. 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! The
underside to this car is also extremely solid, with strong frame
rails, floors, trunk and jambs. The interior is absolutely
immaculate, with the original headliner and comfy golden vinyl
bench seats that are perfect for cruising. Additional 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
muscular 4-4-2 include power steering, power front disc brakes, a
power trunk release, an original AM radio, factory gauges,
"dual-sport" mirrors, a rear spoiler, and a mean-sounding
Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on an attractive set
of 14" color-matched steel wheels matched to chrome dog-dish
hubcaps over Firestone Wide-Oval RWL tires for a factory-fresh
appearance that's hard to match. 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, with a gorgeous color scheme and an
interior like this one has. You're not going to see another quite
like it, so don't let it pass you by!
