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!

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…

1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod

Current Ask
$295,000

The 1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod takes the long-hood, hidden-headlamp attitude of Mercury’s upscale pony car and turns the performance dial far beyond anything offered when new. Showing just 3,509 miles, this build is finished in Metallic Pearl Red over a fully reupholstered Saddle Brown leather interior and centers around a built 572ci V8 with electronic fuel injection, backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The transformation extends well beyond the engine bay, with 4-wheel disc brakes, a custom intake system, Vintage Air climate control, a functional hood scoop, custom leather seating, updated instrumentation, and a substantial high-end audio system. According to the current owner, the Cougar was originally equipped with an M-code 351ci V8, making its evolution into this big-cube restomod all the more dramatic. This is the kind of build that preserves the unmistakable character of a classic Cougar while adding the power, comfort, and detail expected from a thoroughly modernized muscle car.

$32,500

The 1972 Buick Gran Sport is a great example of why Buick’s muscle cars have always had their own following. Where some competitors leaned almost entirely into aggression, the GS mixed real V8 performance with a more polished, upscale feel, and this 60,979-mile example captures that balance nicely. Finished in Burnished Copper with a Black vinyl roof over a Black interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 and 4-barrel carburetor with a TH350 3-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The equipment list is especially appealing for an enthusiast cruiser, with power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full-length console, Rallye steering wheel, tinted glass, chrome-plated wheels, and period stereo equipment all part of the package. It has the visual presence of a proper early-1970s muscle car, but with the comfort and restraint that made Buick’s Gran Sport line feel a little more grown-up than the average stoplight bruiser.

1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours

Current Ask
$33,000

The 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours Coupe represents the more refined side of Chevrolet’s compact lineup, and this example stands out even further thanks to its rare Concours package and remarkably low 20,299 miles. Finished in Antique White over a Dark Firethorn interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The Concours treatment brought a much more upscale character to the Nova, with a Dark Firethorn vinyl roof, woodgrain interior trim, additional brightwork, and a comfort-focused cabin that separated it from more basic examples. The seller also reports that the interior still smells like new, a detail that speaks to just how unusually preserved the cabin feels. With its low mileage, rare Concours specification, V8 power, and distinctively 1970s luxury-oriented presentation, this Nova offers a particularly interesting blend of originality, comfort, and classic Chevrolet character.
