This beautiful black 1970 Oldsmobile 442 is for sale in our
Louisville KY showroom. The 4-4-2 name derives from the original
set up of the first car that debuted in 1964. The set up was just
that a 4 barrel carb, 4 speed transmission and dual exhaust. Pretty
much everything desired on your first generation muscle cars. Some
people, even to this day, think that 442 is the cubic displacement
of the motor but in all reality Oldsmobile never made a 442 CID
motor. They did however make a 400 cubic inch big block and in 1965
it was the motor of choice for the Cutlass 442 cars. Now , being
that you could get an automatic, the 4-4-2 stood for 400 CID, 4
barrell, dual exhaust. Sales would steadily rise through the first
generations 4 year span topping out at a tad over 25000 units. The
1968 model year would see the 4-4-2 become its own model and not
just an option any longer. This 70 is a great example of these
timeless machines. With 98957 actual miles you can tell this beauty
has been pampered since its rescue. The gloss black with gold
outlined racing stripes looks just like it did when it left the
factory over 46 years ago. The black vinyl top not only works
flawlessly but looks great against the extra slick paint. Pop the
hood and the 400+ HP 455 cid motor looks right at home, especially
with the Chrome Valve covers and air cleaner. Mated up to a turbo
400 this is one of the easiest driving big block muscle cars to
drive. WIth the huge amount of torque being produced, these 442's
were known for laying down some of the nastiest blackest burnout's
that you have ever seen. What this car was really made for is
cruising and this one exceutes that perfectly. Options on this 1970
Oldsmobile 442 include; Vintage AC, AM/FM radio with Cassette
player, power steering, gold vinyl interior, seat belts, and Radial
tires with polished American Racing Torque Thrust Wheels. To view
