In a world where gas costs under 40 cents and epa regulations were
almost non existent, it was only natural that muscle cars would
become the hottest cars in the late 60's and early 70's. This
brought us gems like the Pontiac GTO, Chevelle SS, Plymouth
Barracuda, and others, but one stood out from the pack. For sale in
our Fort Lauderdale showroom is one of the most iconic muscle cars
of all time: the Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. The name 442 comes from
the fact that the car has a four-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual
transmission, and dual exhausts. The 442 became its own model,
rather than an option on the Cutlass, from 1968 to 1971. In order
to keep pace with the large, high- horsepower engines coming from
the competition, Oldsmobile fired back with their answer. This was
the 455 CID engine putting out 365 horsepower. This particular 442
has that same potent 455/365 engine. Saying this car has some power
is an understatement. Proving its performance, the 1970 442 was the
official pace car at the Indianapolis 500 race. This 442 is
absolutely gorgeous under sunlight. The white interior pops against
the gold paint job. The transmission in this car is the same that
it was born with. With wheels in excellent condition, ice cold air
conditioning, the convertible top, and the fantastic driving
experience, you cannot go wrong with this 442. It has just 7,000
miles since it's nut and bolt restoration with a full engine
rebuild in 2010. This 442 is reliable enough to be a daily driver.
This Olds has power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, AM/FM
radio, seat belts, a vinyl interior, and an automatic convertible
top. If you're looking for a muscle car that has it all, you've
found it. To see 100+ HD pictures and a video of this 1970
