1965 Oldsmobile 442 Hardtop Description When Olds introduced the 442 it had a look and the power that the burgeoning Muscle Car market was itching for and this combination scratched that itch to perfection. The correct Target Red paint is slick and the body alignment is exceptional. It is an original 442 that has experienced a frame off restoration with all the right stuff includingand#44; nice new bucket seats and solid floors and frame. The engine is the correct rebuilt 400 and the transmission is a smooth shifting automatic with floor shifterand#44; a rear gear ratio of 3.08 that is an Olds Anti Spin 12 bolt unit that makes it a pleasure to cruise down the highway. The exhaust is complete and really has a great note when you open up the secondaries. It comes with power steering and brakesand#44; factory tach on the consoleand#44; tinted glassand#44; full length consoleand#44; and immaculate Olds Rally Wheels with Firestone F7014 Red Line tires. Dont miss out on a chance to own one of the more desirable Olds 442s from the 60s ready to enjoy now. A number of different engines were offered for the carand#44; but not one of them displaced 442cu-in. The name refers to the 4-barrel carburetorand#44; 4-speed transmission and 2 exhaust pipesand#44; which is why the name is often written as 4-4-2 in Oldsmobile literature. It is pronounced four-four-twoand#44; and you would give yourself away as a muscle car novice by saying four-forty-two. The 442 was a performance package offered for the Cutlass starting in 1964. It was built as a response to competitionand#44; but weirdlyand#44; this competition was coming from inside GMand#44; rather than an actual outside rival. In this caseand#44; the car which Oldsmobile set their sights on was the Pontiac GTOand#44; a performance version of the mid-level Tempest. |
