For Sale: 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass S 2 Door Hardtop 442 Tribute

The word Cutlass is defined as a short curvy one edged sword that was used by sailors. The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was the best selling car in Oldsmobile history. With its clean lines and numerous model offerings, it is clear to see why. The "4-4-2" name, (pronounced "Four-four-two"), derives from the original car's four barrel carburetor, four speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. Some maintain that the '2' indicated positive traction rear differential. It was originally written "4-4-2".

For consignment, a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass S 2-door hardtop 442 Tribute showing 57,791 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to non functional odometer. What is known is that this Cutlass S retains its numbers matching drivetrain and wears a unique, eye-catching color.

Please Note This Vehicle Is Being Sold With A Pennsylvania Reconstructed/Salvage Branding On The Title. Please Check With Your Country, State, Provincial, Or Local DMV For Proper Titling Procedures***

Exterior
There's simply no way to miss this Sunflower Yellow paint that covers this car in two stage beauty and serves as the perfect backdrop for black highlights added to heighten the visual dynamics of this 442 tribute. This includes black stripes on the hood that give the visual illusion of scoops and thin lines track back to frame faux vents. A mid body stripe rides over the wheel openings and goes from the nose to the tail, complementing the black vinyl roof. Pairings are common on the car and include twin headlights on each side in black bezels, a split grille, sport mirrors color keyed to the body, stacked triple tail lights, and twin trumpet exhaust tips. The wing, however, is large and singular. 15-inch Oldsmobile Super Stock II wheels are also color matched and wear 235/60R15 tires with an mid 2025 date code. Imperfections include flaws in the stripe, filler evidence in places, chips, cracked paint, edgewear, bubbling, holes and rivets in the wheel opening, scratches, and scuffs and surface rust on the bumper.

Interior
Simple and clean black vinyl door panels are accented with simulated burlwood inserts and carpeted lowers and both are in nice shape. The split bench, in black grain vinyl, is handsome in a vintage 1970 kind of way with requisite button ornamentation and horizontal stitch lines and both front and rear are immaculate. An X is formed by the spokes of the sport steering wheel and it leads to a very simple gauge cluster embedded on a burlwood faceplate and includes an unused circle with gauge like indices and all of it has some light patina. Vent levers and an AM/FM/Cassette radio live in the black mid panel under a dash pad that shows several cracks. The column shift cars allow for an open floor, here with black twist carpet and 442 embroidered mats. The black headliner is loose but intact and the trunk wears a cut to fit mat and shows some surface rust on the stamped steel floor underneath.

Drivetrain
Clean and original, here we have the numbers matching 350ci V8, fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor and rated at 160 horsepower. It's mated to its numbers matching TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and power is routed to a 10 bolt rear axle and 2.73 gears.

Undercarriage
Super clean on the bottom side where the newer gas tank is evident along with dual Pypes exhaust that runs through an X-pipe and terminates 442 style through trumpeted tips. Our consignor states the power brakes are newer as well; front disc and rear drum. Suspension consists of coil springs at both ends with a 4 link in back. Other than a small bit of filler on the frame, the underside presents as clean and structurally sound.

Drive-Ability
We cruised it around the test loop carefully to check each function available on the car while enjoying healthy acceleration, good handling, crisp shifting, and impressive braking. We note the speedometer, odometer and reverse lights are not working. Beyond that, everything is in order. 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.

Less than 10,000 4-4-2's were produced in 1972, while more than 78,000 Cutlass S left the assembly plants. That's why there's no harm in creating a tribute that just happens to be based in a numbers matching Cutlass S! It's like having the best of two worlds
