Overview of 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible For Sale by Owner

The Oldsmobile Cutlass is a nameplate that’s been around for quite some time. It flirted in the compact, midsize and personal luxury car segments during its lifetime. Today’s 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 comes from the third generation, when Oldsmobile offered a Cutlass for everyone, it seems. You could pick from a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, a two-door convertible and even a four-door station wagon. Interestingly, the two- and four-door variants had different wheelbases to ensure maximum interior space regardless of body style. That’s not all; you could also specify a thrifty in-line six or a powerful V8 depending on your preference. This particular car from Arlington is a two-door convertible with the biggest V8 under the hood. It’s done over 128,000 miles, but hardly looks it! So don’t miss this opportunity, DM or call us at the earliest if you’d like to drive off in this beauty.

Exterior and Interior

This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 comes with a nice red body, and a white convertible top. Rolling on red wheels with white-lettered tires, it’s quite a looker, replete with two white elements on its massive hood. The car also sports a rear spoiler and the requisite 442 badging. The interior of this 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 includes wood grain trim, and white leather upholstered seats. It’s roomy enough for four occupants and pretty period-correct. The original heater controls remain intact, as does the radio. The latter is quite interesting, as it is an FM unit with tone control for whether you want a bassy sound, focus on voices, or more emphasis on music. That’s not all, there’s also a knob to adjust the bias between the front and rear speakers in the vehicle. You’ll also have noticed the unusual transmission shift pattern, called the His and Hers transmission. We’ll talk about that in the next section.

Engine

This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 gets a massive 455ci V8 under its hood. However, the sizable engine isn’t the car’s neatest feature, but its His and Hers transmission. Basically, it’s a 3-speed automatic unit, but offers manual shifting. The idea is, those who want an automatic experience simply place the lever in D. Those who crave more control can move the shifter through its 1-2-3 section and select gears at will. Either way, the rear wheels are the ones that transfer power to the road.

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!

Current Ask
$41,500

This 1955 Oldsmobile 88 Restomod is the kind of build that takes everything people love about a big mid-century American cruiser and gives it the hardware to be enjoyed with a lot less compromise. Showing approximately 12,640 miles, it pairs unmistakable 1950s Oldsmobile styling with a custom blue and white two-tone paint job, a reupholstered white and blue interior, and a strong list of drivability upgrades. The 350ci V8 crate engine, 700R4 4-speed automatic, power steering, power front disc brakes, and Vintage Air make this far more than a stock-style restoration. It is a proper restomod with classic looks and a much more usable road-going setup.
