Often considered one of the high points in the muscle car era, and
even more so for Oldsmobile, the 442 stands proudly as a flagship
car for the Golden Age of high-horsepower vehicles. This particular
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 has an older repaint in a captivating
shade of burgundy, complemented by its matching black hardtop and
matching black hood stripes. Thanks to its streamlined Holiday
Hardtop design, this awesome Olds look aggressive from any
angle.
Inside, we find a mostly original stock and correct saddle vinyl
interior. A center console separates twin bucket seats, while a
trick power-assisted Grant GT wheel sits just ahead of a trio of
Rally Pack gauges. At the same time, another triplet of Sunpro
auxiliary gauges is mounted under the dashboard, while a Retro
Sound AM/FM/AUX head unit with a digital display takes the place of
the original unit.
Under the hood, we find a custom-built 455 cubic-inch overhead
valve V-8 engine. Bored 0.30 over, balanced, and equipped with a
mild performance cam, this big block is fed through an ample 750
cfm Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and air gap intake manifold.
Spent gases are expelled through long tube headers before the
three-inch exhaust gives way to a set of FlowMaster mufflers,
giving this old-school muscle car a growl commensurate with its
power. Power is routed through a built TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission with a 2500 stall converter before heading out to the
12-bolt rear, which transfers those ponies to the pavement via a
set of polished 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels shod
in 225/60R-15 BFGoodrich rubber.

ready to scrub off speed at a moment's notice. With just 1,000
miles on its newly built engine, this boulevard bruiser has plenty
of life left for its new owner to enjoy. But don't wait, call
