The combination of the classic Coke-bottle shape, and having been finished in a bright paint color make this awesome 442 a head-turner. Known for power and good looks, the 442's are coveted among collectors. This particular car is a true 442 that would make a great addition to any muscle car collector's garage. Finished in the factory original Flame Orange (code 65) with white pin-stripes and body colored Super Stock wheels. It's a great looking car which offers a 455ci V8 under the hood, which is a period correct 455ci V8, the current engine is not numbers matching.

442 specific front grilles, hood louvers, and contrasting pinstripes set this car apart from the other Cutlass trims that were available at the time. Bright Flame Orange paint (code 65) is the original color that this car left the factory wearing, although the car was repainted at some point. The paint shows well - it's even, glossy, and bright. The chrome bumpers on both ends of the car are in very nice condition and all trim shows well.

Inside the car, black carpeting really makes the white seats (code 977) and matching door panels “pop.” The interior does show some age in a few areas, although what we have noticed are a few cosmetic blemishes. It looks as though the previous owners enjoyed the car with the top down most of the time, as the carpeting and door trim is faded. We can't blame them for having the top down, the car looks great as a drop-top, and the top being down gives passengers the chance to really enjoy the sound of the V8 that's under the hood. The interior features bucket seats, 4-spoke steering wheel, center console, a Dual-Gate shifter, wood veneer trim, power windows, power top, the original radio, and clock.

Under the hood is a 455ci V8 which is period correct, although not original to the car. (Engine Cast #396021F = 1968-72 455ci V8) According to the build sheet, this car rolled out of the Lansing Assembly Plant with a 455ci V8 under the hood. The 455 features an Edelbrock 4bbl Carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold, and is finished in Oldsmobile Blue Metallic paint. Power steering, power brakes, and factory a/c are other notable items under the hood.

Finished in the factory correct color combination, this true 442 is an awesome car for any muscle car enthusiast to consider. Top down cruising in a classic, V8 powered American muscle car sounds pretty good to us! Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our main website: Garage Kept Motors.
