The Olds 442 is the epitome of the muscle cars we know and love of the late 60's early 70's. In case you didn't know the name 4 - 4 -2 comes from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. While the 4-4-2 package was initially available on Oldsmobile-s F85 and Cutlass trims, for 1968, the 4-4-2 was its own model, in two-door Sports Coupe, Holiday Hardtop coupe, and convertible body styles. This particular Hardtop coupe 442 is equipped with a bold V8-425ci BB that was redone 30 over. With a new Summit racing carburetor and Edelbrock intake. That huge engine is sending all the power to a smooth shifting 3 speed automatic transmission. As you look around the...

The 4-4-2 name derives from the original set up of the first car that debuted in 1964. The set up was just that a 4 barrel carb, 4 speed transmission and dual exhaust. Pretty much everything desired on your first generation muscle cars. Many people, even to this day, think that 442 is the cubic displacement of the motor but in all reality Oldsmobile never made a 442 CID motor. They did however make a 400 cubic inch big block and in 1965 it was the motor of choice for the Cutlass 442 cars. Now, being that you could get an automatic, the 4-4-2 stood for 400 CID, 4 barrell, dual exhaust. Sales would steadily rise through the first generations 4 year span topping out at a tad over 25000 units. The 1968 model year would see the 4-4-2 become its own model and not just an option any longer. The bright yellow paint with black stripes looks just like it did when it left the factory over 45 years ago. The black vinyl top not only works effortlessly but looks great against the extra slick paint. Pop the hood and the 340 HP 455 cid motor looks right at home...

A stack of Year One receipts from the build will show no expense was sparred on the restoration of this 442! Every aspect of this car has been freshened up and has been made to perform even better than it did in its glory years. The interior has been restored nearly back to original to keep the classic styling but had a more modern sound system installed as well some sound deadening material to keep the road noise to a minimum. Get in, fire it up, and hold on because this big block is putting down plenty of power to throw you back in the seat. As you accelerate the shift kit installed in the rebuilt transmission becomes apparent with each shift being crisp...

The Oldsmobile 4-4-2, known as the 442) is a muscle car produced by Oldsmobile between the 1964 and 1980 model years. Introduced as an option package for US-sold F85 and Cutlass models, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, spawned the formidable Hurst/Olds in 1968, then reverted to an option through the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on the rear-wheel drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the new front-wheel drive Cutlass Calais. The '4-4-2' name, pronounced 'Four-four-two', derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts.

Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a 3 speed manual along with optional 2 speed automatic or 4 speed manual, but were still badged as '4-4-2's. By...
