1970 Oldsmobile 442

By 1970, the second-generation 4-4-2 represented the model at its most potent, benefiting from Oldsmobile's legendary 455ci V8 and some of the most aggressive styling of the era. Available in Convertible, Holiday Hardtop, and Sport Coupe body styles, the latter features a fixed B-pillar for added structural rigidity.

This 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Sport Coupe is powered by a 455ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Astro Blue with dark blue racing stripes and is equipped with a W30-style hood, a three-piece rear spoiler, a black vinyl Landau roof, and blue vinyl upholstery. Additional work performed under prior ownership is said to have included refurbishment of various trim and bumper components, along with updates to the braking and fuel systems.

Notable performance modifications include aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock high-rise aluminum intake manifold, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a performance camshaft, Hooker headers, a Flowmaster exhaust system, and more as outlined below.

The seller acquired this 442 in 2000 and subsequently undertook a refurbishment that reportedly included rebuilding the engine and transmission, refinishing the paint, recoating the bumpers, and addressing various other cosmetic and mechanical components during current ownership.
