For Sale: 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

Muscle car legend Oldsmobile created the 442 package as a performance option in 1964, and this 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Tribute Convertible captures that original street machine aura. The Provincial White exterior gives this convertible a clean, classic look while allowing the styling details to take center stage. When folded, the black vinyl power convertible top tucks away beneath a sharp red boot cover, creating a perfect color combination. Substantial 18" Coys wheels wrapped with 225/40ZR18 front and 255/35ZR18 rear tires give this Olds a planted, performance-oriented appearance. Chrome mirrors, bumpers, and newer headlights contribute to its brilliant street presentation.

Vivid red vinyl creates a bold cabin environment. Two bucket seats divided by a full center console establish a driver-oriented layout typical of '60s performance cars. The factory-looking gauge cluster maintains clear visibility of essential information, while supplemental gauges mounted below the dashboard track the more powerful engine's vitals. A T-handle shifter rises through the console, allowing manual gear selection when desired. The tactile vinyl surfaces cover the doors and seats without cracks or damage, keeping with this Oldsmobile's clean presentation. An AM/FM radio remains installed in the dash but currently sits disconnected.

Motorvation comes from a 455 cubic inch V8 - a genuine Oldsmobile big block that gives this convertible serious acceleration. The engine breathes through an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake manifold and Holley Performance 4-barrel carburetor, maximizing airflow for better output. A TH400 3-speed automatic transmission handles shifting duties and feeds a stout 10-bolt rear end. Chrome valve covers and a matching breather add visual interest to the substantial V8. Dual exhaust pipes expel spent gases, while an aluminum radiator keeps operating temperatures optimal. Power steering and power drum brakes make controlling the substantial convertible straightforward even with the larger engine's output.
