For Sale: 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Hardtop

"By the time the 1980's rolled around, the American car market had changed drastically. Gone were the days of high powered land barges. Insurance companies, gas crunches, and safety regulations sucked away the ecstasy of the American muscle car as it was. Rear wheel drive midsize cars were beginning to be phased out for more compact, efficient, and "European inspired" offerings." Outmotorsports.com

For consignment, a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 hardtop showing 69,468 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to title a exemption. This one retains its numbers matching drivetrain which, along with most other mechanical components, has been thoroughly gone through and restored as needed. A detailed list of parts and work will accompany the car.

Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.*

Exterior
In what was called the signature combination, Black paint covers most of the body with the bottom quarter draped in Silver, but it's the gold accenting, the 442 expressed on each side, and the gold painted wheels that make this car stand out. Notably, there are no wings, air dams, or cladding like the other G-body performers got at the time, making this a more understated special edition of a common platform. T-tops and dual chrome tips add a sporty nature and the blacked out grille, a bit of menace. The 15-inch Oldsmobile Super Stock II wheels carry 215/65R15 tires with a mid 2024 date code. Overall, the paint and trim are very nice with imperfections noted as chips on the nose and random ones throughout, small scratches on the side, scratches in tail light lens, touched up chips and scratches, scuff and chips on front and rear bumpers.

Interior
442 is expressed on the door panels which are a slightly fancy version of the G-body standard, a woodgrain accented door pull over gray crushed velour, plastic center panel and armrest with chrome switches, and carpeted lower and both doors are in nice shape. The velvety gray material also covers the bucket seats up front which are in very good shape, as is the rear bench and its 3 sets of seat belts. A grippy gray steering wheel fronts the woodgrain accented dashboard and instrument cluster that includes circular gauges and two columns of indicator lights. The familiar center stack box contains the A/C panel and an aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio, meeting the center console we see across the G-body line and this one is dressed in wood for some extra flair and presents cleanly. Gray carpet is below and behind the glass T-tops is a foam backed headliner with some typical dimples and some sagging but otherwise clean. A speaker box occupies some real estate in the trunk along with the space saver spare and the black floor covering.

Drivetrain
Under the hood is a serviced and ready numbers matching 307ci V8 rated at 180 horsepower and fueled through a 4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to the serviced and numbers matching 200R4 4-speed automatic transmission sending power to the standard 10 bolt rear and 3.73 gears with Positraction. The car comes equipped with power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning and has headers.

Undercarriage
Super clean underneath where dual exhaust comes back from headers and runs through FlowMaster mufflers on their way to polished exits behind each rear wheel. There is no catalytic converter included. New brakes are on board and they're power disc in front and power drum in back. Suspension includes coil springs front and rear with a 4 link on the back.
Drive-AbilityWith an exhaust note that's better than new, we roll this clean 442 onto the test loop to find an ultra comfortable ride, adequate power, and strong braking. We note the A/C is not working, the driver's power lock switch does not unlock the door and the passengers lock switch is not working at all. Beyond those things, all functions in this well sorted Olds operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

G-bodies have mass appeal, especially the further we get from the 80's, and special edition versions like the turbo Regals, Monte Carlo SS's and the Olds 442's are highly sought after, especially in fine condition like this one. No stone was unturned to sort this car and it's ready for cruise nights, All GM shows, and anywhere else because you're guaranteed a reaction from onlookers.
