1970 Olds 442 W30      $139,995

The Oldsmobile 442, so named for the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts, is a muscle car which was introduced in 1964 by Oldsmobile as an option package for the Cutlass and F-85 models. The 442 then became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, before reverting back to just an option through the mid-1970s.
 
In 1970 the Oldsmobile 442 was the pinnacle of performance from Oldsmobile. That was the year that General Motors dropped the cap on engine size in order to keep up in the horsepower arms-race, and Oldsmobile responded by making the Olds 455 V8 the standard 442 engine. Magazine ads using an offbeat mad scientist trumpeted "Dr. Olds introduces as large a V-8 as ever bolted into a special-performance production automobile!"

Radical Mr. Oldsmobile Muscle!
A newly revised body style along with the increased performance resulted in the 442 being awarded pace car duties at the Indianapolis 500 race in 1970. Those seeking to experience the ultimate in performance from Lansing could order a "W-Machine" version of the 442, dubbed the W-30 package. The 442 W-30 added a fiberglass hood with functional air scoops and low-restriction air cleaner, aluminum intake manifold, special camshaft, cylinder heads, distributor, and carburetor. Motor Trend tested a 442 W-30 with a 4-speed manual transmission and 3.91:1 rear gears, clocking a quarter mile time of 14.2 seconds @ 102 mph (164 km/h), after which they praised the 442, stating that "It's probably the most identifiable super car in the GM house".
 
A 1970 Oldsmobile 442 was the car featured in the incredible chase scene of the movie Demolition Man starring Sylvester Stallone. Don’t miss out on your chance to own this classic mean machine!
