The Oldsmobile 442 was a muscle car made between 1964 and 1980. The name was revived for some later years as well, but the era stated above is arguably the most interesting one. As is the name. Sounds pretty random, doesn’t it? 442 or 4-4-2. Well, you see, it has a meaning, because the original 442 came with a 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission and 2 exhausts (dual exhaust configuration). Now do you get it? We had to do some research too, to get it. Either way, we have a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 Supreme for sale right now from Statham, Georgia. The car is a numbers-matching example with a 4-speed Muncie, a 400ci V8 and original 442 badging too. Grab it quick!
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
The Oldsmobile 442 earned its reputation in the golden muscle car era by combining power, presence, and everyday drivability. By 1970, it stood shoulder to shoulder with GM’s finest offerings, and today it remains one of the most respected names of the period. Our featured 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe, finished in blue inside and out, brings that legacy back with a recently rebuilt powertrain and modern precision engineering. Located in Orland Park, Illinois, this example is powered by a period-correct but non-numbers-matching 455ci V8, paired with a Turbo 400 transmission. With a reported rebuild date of May 2023, this 442 offers a fresh take on classic American muscle.
The early 1970s marked a golden era for American muscle, and the 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme remains one of the standout personal luxury performance coupes of the period. This particular 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Coupe shows 38,958 miles and has been extensively restored and tastefully customized to deliver classic muscle car presence with upgraded usability. Under the hood sits a reportedly newer 455ci V8 with less than 1,000 miles on the engine, giving this Cutlass the kind of big-block torque that perfectly suits its long-hood proportions. Finished in a rich custom Burgundy paint finish over a reupholstered Burgundy and Black interior, this example blends period-correct attitude with thoughtful upgrades including aftermarket air conditioning, updated wiring, and a custom audio setup. For buyers seeking a turn-key classic cruiser with real V8 presence and unmistakable 1970s styling, this Oldsmobile makes a strong impression.
The 1965 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible captures the essence of mid-1960s American cruising, blending bold styling with smooth V8 performance. As part of Oldsmobile’s full-size lineup, the Dynamic 88 offered a perfect balance of luxury and everyday usability, and this convertible variant adds an extra layer of open-air enjoyment. Showing over 91,000 miles, this example presents as a well-preserved classic with timeless appeal. Finished in red over a black interior, it delivers a striking and period-correct color combination, while the desirable 425ci “Super Rocket” V8 ensures it has the power to match its presence.
Oldsmobile’s flagship full-size offering, the 88 soldiered on from 1949 until 1999, across ten generations. It was popularly considered to be a fine family car, and that’s likely where this 1950 Oldsmobile 88 Sedan began life seventy six years ago. The car comes to you with a suitably Fifties black suit, a nice white interior and a healthy 70,041 miles on the odometer. It’s got the famous Rocket V8 under the hood, hooked up to a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission! Yes, a four-speeder in 1950, how lavish. So if you’d like to cruise around in a car from the Fifties and see what driving was like way back then, this car is up for grabs in West Palm Beach, Florida.
1970 marked an important year for Buick’s midsize muscle car lineup, as the Skylark 350 Sport Coupe blended the brand’s signature comfort with increasingly aggressive performance styling. While Buick’s GS models often stole the spotlight, well-optioned Skylarks like this example have become increasingly appreciated for offering the same muscular A-body proportions and V8-powered driving experience at a more approachable level. Showing approximately 19,245 miles on the odometer, this Skylark benefits from a substantial refurbishment and modernization effort that included drivetrain work, suspension upgrades, steering enhancements, interior refresh, and cosmetic refinishing. Finished in Bamboo Cream over a Saddle vinyl interior, this Buick stands out with tasteful GS Stage 1-inspired styling cues, upgraded handling components, and classic American muscle car presence.
The first-generation Plymouth Barracuda helped establish Chrysler’s foothold in the emerging pony car market during the 1960s, blending compact dimensions with unmistakable Mopar styling and V8 performance. This 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible represents the final year of the first-generation A-body Barracuda and shows approximately 2,171 miles on the odometer. Finished in Ermine White over a black vinyl interior, this convertible has been upgraded with a potent 340ci Mopar V8 while retaining much of its classic period-correct charm. Featuring performance-oriented upgrades such as “J” cylinder heads, a Sure-Grip rear differential, Moser axles, and an aftermarket shift kit, this Barracuda offers a more spirited driving experience than its factory configuration while still capturing the laid-back cruising personality of a classic American convertible. With its clean styling, white soft top, and tasteful upgrades, this Mopar stands out as a unique and highly usable vintage cruiser.
There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.
