Oldsmobile…a name that’s not been around for some time now. Yet, this iconic American automaker created one of the most recognizable muscle cars in the Sixties, the 442. Initially, 442 was an option package for the Cutlass and F-85. However, by 1968, Oldsmobile acknowledged that the 442 had earned the right to become a separate model. And it did. Here’s an example of proof. Behold, we’ve got a first-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale, in all its golden glory, just waiting for its next lucky owner. Coming to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, this is a time capsule that can still roar down the street in anger, thanks to its potent, unbridled V8 engine.
This 1969 Oldsmobile 442 comes to you painted in gold, which really brings out its muscular stance, and iconic Sixties styling. The car features a set of matching gold wheels, wrapped in new tires. Then, you’ve got chrome bumpers, dual headlamps, a rear spoiler and a roof painted in a lighter shade, meant to mimic the appearance of a convertible hood. This was popular during the Sixties, and was sometimes done with black vinyl wrap over the metal roof. But this car eschews that rather mainstream approach for a cooler, two-tone painted effect. The interior of this 1969 Oldsmobile 442 features front and rear benches upholstered in black leather. After all, some buyers might be using the car as their primary mode of family transportation. Nevertheless, the car includes Rally gauges, and even air conditioning to keep everyone cool. A Sunpro tachometer has been added, installed atop the steering column. Lower down, there are some white-faced auxiliary gauges as well.
Under the hood, this 1969 Oldsmobile 442 packs a 400ci V8 that’s just waiting to be unleashed. Factory figures are claimed to be 325hp, sent to the rear wheels via a 3-Speed GM Turbo Hydramatic THM-400 automatic gearbox. This car also includes disc brakes all round, for sure-footed stopping power. After all, this was a car that could do a sub-6 second 0-60 dash, which was blindingly fast in 1969. So, you can still surprise some modern cars at the traffic lights, or bathe them in tire smoke – your choice.

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 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was one of the best-selling nameplates in America during the 1970s and 1980s, and by 1984 the Brougham trim represented the pinnacle of personal luxury in the lineup. This 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham, showing 83,404 miles, captures that era perfectly with its unmistakable blend of comfort, chrome, and V8 power. Built during a time when personal coupes ruled American roads, the Cutlass Supreme offered buyers a refined alternative to sportier muscle cars, emphasizing smooth cruising, upscale appointments, and distinctive styling. With its classic proportions and well-preserved presentation, this example stands as an authentic representation of mid-1980s American luxury.
Available from 1961 until 1999, Oldsmobile’s Cutlass has got to be one of this iconic American brand’s longer-running nameplates. The name Cutlass is derived from a fighter jet of the late Forties, the Vought F7U Cutlass. The aircraft in turn was named after the nautical sword known as a cutlass. So, there’s a bit of nomenclature history for you, since it’s likely that you, your parents, and grandparents have encountered an Olds Cutlass at some point. Today’s 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass F85 Restomod is a second-generation example that’s received a few upgrades to make it nicer for regular driving duties. These include a reupholstered leather interior, air conditioning and an aftermarket stereo system. You also get the original owner’s manual with the sale of this Redmond-based American classic.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a model that gained its name from the Vought F7U Cutlass fighter jet. Initially positioned in the compact segment for its first generation, it quickly grew to a formidable midsize contender in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. Today’s 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible Restomod hails from the third generation, and has received some pretty extensive modifications and updates. For starters, it now has a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood, and rolls on some oversized Asanti multi-piece wheels. An extra set of tires is also included in the sale of this car which packs an aftermarket audio system too, for your musical desires.
The late 1950s represented one of the most dramatic eras in American automotive design, and Buick’s 1959 lineup captured that spirit perfectly. This 1959 Buick Invicta shows 53,716 miles and embodies the bold styling and engineering Buick was known for during the period. Positioned between the LeSabre and the flagship Electra in Buick’s lineup, the Invicta combined upscale comfort with the performance of Buick’s powerful Nailhead V8. Finished in Sky Blue with a striking two-tone interior, this Invicta reflects the space-age design language that defined American cars at the end of the decade.

The ‘50s gave birth to a few of the world's most iconic automotive creations. Their styling cues are unmistakable. Do you remember the character Doc Hudson from the 2006 Pixar movie Cars? The 1951 Hudson Hornet served as the model for the character. Some people immediately think of that famous character from Cars when they see the 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe that we are presenting here. The styling, curves, and chrome accents represent the classic ‘50s automotive styling. It's hard to find a ‘50s car in pristine condition these days. That’s why this beautiful example might interest classic car lovers.
