- Mecum's Matt Avery chats with Joe Spagnoli about his large, low-mileage collection of the iconic muscle car, all of which are crossing the block TODAY in Kissimmee.
Some of the standouts include a Lime Green 1971 W-30 coupe, a 1970 convertible finished in special-order Rally Red and the ultra-crowd-pleaser, a 1972 Vista Cruiser station wagon packing a 455 CI V-8.

Olds guys know the first 442 had a 330 ci small block. By 1970, the significance of the moniker had changed. Big blocks, small blocks, tri-carbs, automatics, whatever sold.
Thanks for preserving these cars.
My Uncle Jimmy had a factory worked Vista Cruiser when I was a kid. I was 9 so it was a 69 and we made it to Atlantic City and back to Roxborough in 3 hours. Just me and him and we both liked to go fast. It was Christmas 1969 and it’s a memory that I will never forget.
I have a triple black w30 4 speed in my garage so I’ve seen one.
442. 4-barrel carb, 4 spd trans, dual exhaust. That changed as time progressed, a turbo 400 transmission was available in later years, but still a 442 for oblivious reasons. $$$
This Guy is supposed to be Mr hurst olds you would think that he would know the first 442 came with a 330 not a 400 (four barrel four speed duel exhaust)
This guy has some serious cash! All stand up cars! Gorgeous
I was just up at this auction and bought a 1975 Oldsmobile hurst w 30, got to check out these cars while i was up there.
Here we go again...when the 442 first came out in 1964 it stood for 4 bbl carburetor 4speed transmission and dual exhaust.BTW there were a hand full that were 4 doors it was a police pursuit package from the factory The second year the first 4 stood for 400 c I engine the second 4 stood for 4 bbl carburetor dual exhaust 1965 was the first year the 442 was available with a 400 c I engine
Actually FOUR extra cost colors of which Rally Red is one for 1970. The other three are: AEGEAN AQUA; SEBRING YELLOW and NUGGET GOLD.
Beautiful cars
In 1964 1/2 Oldsmobile had a magazine ad that defined 4-4-2's meaning as 4 barrel carburetor 4 speed transmission 2 exhausts. In 1965 they revised the magazine ad to say 4 Hundred Cubic Inches 4 barrel carburetor 2 exhausts. 1965 was the last time Oldsmobile published a definition of 4-4-2.
Also 4-4-2 is always pronounced Four Four Two, never Four Forty Two.
Hes wrong, 4 bbl, 4 speed. Duel exhaust for the original 1964 which I own
The 64 cars were only 330's and they had 4 speeds, 4 barrel carbs that weren't quadrajets and dual exhaust. 400's didn't coome til 65..
right orginally it was 4 speed 4 barrel 2 exhaust then the 4 speed moved to 400 CI engine and then post gas crisis everything went to w.e. would sell
💯%
64 442. 4bbl, 4 speed, dual exhaust . Rochester 4GC carburetor, mechanical secondaries. 65 442. 400(CI), 4BBL, dual exhaust. Quadrajet carb.
Awesomeness
Could not have been 400 cubic inches, as the 1964, which was the first, had a 330.
so orginally it was 4 speed 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust. after the 4 speed was dropped for a 3 speed automatic in most models then marketing went to 400 cubic inches and then later it just didnt matter anymore at all becuz they sold it as w.e. they wanted
I don't remember seeing those hood pins back in the day? Are they a add on or where they a special order item. Really cool, but I was looking @ Z28 Camaro's & Buick GS's more closely than 442's. Great collection, great video. Thanks.
Those Hood Pins are Factory Installed
@@CSX4823 Thank you Sir.
Factory with the W-25 O.A.I package
@@drolds6522 Sweet, love the details
Matador Red is the Best Color Oldsmobile ever used . And 442 means 4 wheels ,4 seats , 2 doors .
no it means 4 speed 4 barrels dual exhaust. and then later was remarketed as 4 barrel 400 cubic inchs dual exhaust
@@epeeypen Close, but it is actually 4 speed, 4 barrel, duel exhaust. In 1970 the displacement upped from 400ci to a 455. I've owned both a 70 and a 71 w30.
@@will8257 right that's exactly what i said .. its 4 speed, 4 barrel, duel exhaust. that is the original naming set.
but later models dropped the 4 speed manual as even an option so internal documents from Olds in marketing indicated they wanted to justify the naming 442 by saying its over 400ci 4 barrel dual exhaust.
442 means to the millinals 4 tires 4 headlights and 2 doors..
hey im 30 and it means 4 speed 4 barrel card and dual exhaust
Just like GTO stands for gas tires and oil lol.
I have a few of these one is 1 of 168 built with the options it has and the other is just a cutlasssupreme if any one can get me in contact whi with this person so maybe I can. Get some one parts
That first one is not a W 30, they had 2 air intakes under the turn signals and went into the air induction. It has a single intake. This guy is lying. The green one also isn't a W30.
When was the last time you could order White interior in any car?..... I'll wait. I like the weird. 442 wagon if only your Mom dropped you off at Soccer practice in that.
Would be the baddest kid at practice!
Tesla has many variations of white interior.
@@louielouie8319 these cars are 50+ years old though
@@drolds6522 I'm aware Sir, have one of my own, however the pivotal word was "Any" 😎
