- In this video we will review and test drive a 1970 Cutlass 442 W-25 with a 455/365HP V8. This is definitely a Gentleman's hotrod, decked out with a the factory goodies to go with the Horsepower.
One of my dream cars... love this body style
It's a very nice unit take care of it..
I did have a '70 442 W-30 2-door hardtop automatic all org. With the Hurst Duel Gate Shifter, manual steering & breaks,
3;90:1 Posi-track, I swapped out the camshaft for the 328 duration stick grind, a set of headers and Holly 750 dubble pumper spread bore carb. Quite a few tricks and slicks got it running the quarter mile at 12:60's @ 102 M.P.H. can't complain about that..
Love it, this is my ultimate classic dream car. I only like the 70, I don't like the tail lights on the other years. I'll definitely have one in the future.
Oh how I miss my old muscle cars, while I didn’t have a 442 I did have a 1970 cutlass supreme coupe with the 350, 2 barrel carb, air conditioning, automatic transmission and manual drum brakes. That was some weird stuff back then. As with growing up and getting married and having kids, I ended up selling the car for $500, what an idiot I was. I do though have a car that I sold 20 years ago I I bought it back from a friend of mine and it’s a 1961 old mobile dynamic 88 two door hardtop. It has the 394 two barrel V8 engine, power windows, reverse lights, and I think those were the only options, and the color is glacier blue. I love the color combination on your cutlass.
Super sweet 442, muscle and luxury. Been looking for one. I'll probably go with a tribute or clone as the price of the factory 442 has gone way up there. Personally I would have left yours in the beast mode!!!
I think you nailed it!👍👍😎🇺🇸
Beautiful Cutlass
What a beautiful car congratulations
Such a sweet car.
sweet Olds 442, I love the fact that you changed the gears in the rear axel for being more conducive to cruising n highway, when I get one soon I Don't plan on Keepig it looked up safely in my garage n not ever beirg ridden, I want to be able to take it for a cruise listen to the radio play my favorite songs n listen to the motor at other times, Same as I cruise when on the Harley, now of course I won't cruise every weekend when nice out because we do love our Harleys n riding them on weekends n during the week, but it will be driven for dinner or ice cream, a occasional local car show maybe once a month, my racing days are about over with, did plenty of thar when young, Glad to see you love to drive yours too, and put the gears in there you want, the heck with what others think, its your damn car lol
In 1970 there was no " Cutlass 442".
442 was its own model.
Cutlass was its own model.
She’s a beauty man, thanks for sharing👍👍👍
My dad had a silver cutlass supreme 1972 vintage black interior rally wheels etc the rear quarter panels were a little different then the 69s more squared off I think I like that slight design Chang a little better then the 69s but I guess that's what I'm used to...
One of the best riding cars in 1970. You don't mention if you have the Hurst shifter. It doesn't look like it. Hot Rod Magazine called it the sports Eldorado. It was not called Cutlass 442 but an Oldsmobile 442. Oldsmobile F85, Oldsmobile Cutlass , Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and an Oldsmobile FX? and Oldsmobile 442 W30 package.
All had different front grilles for the different model lines. Many called their cars 442.
What gear ratio did u change over to from 4.11s
It had G91 3.23 performance rear axle. I have a build sheet
Nice 70 enjoy it bro 😎
Nice car and video
Beautiful! Is it for sale?
Do you think there's enough headroom in one of these for someone who's 6'4?
yes I'm 6 ft 3
0-60 seems slow. But when they tested these cars they ran on bias ply tires and would burn rubber through most of 1st gear which was a joke for getting accurate e/t's. My 69 Ply. 383 Roadrunner would spin tires for 15' before getting grip.
Maybe next time you should lock the hood pins down
The 442 was its own model in 1970. It's not a Cutlass 442.
I would love to have me a convertible one
Is it a 432 if it has the three speed?
Throw in a transmission with an overdrive gear and dilemma solved.
How much
There uo there at around 600torque not 500mine has still the original cam and lifters and meety back tires original stock mtr.and i have had several original owner w machine,s but the that i ve kept for decades has a mind of its own.Ive taken olds freaks and Oldsmobile judjes for rides and they said the same thing .Holy Shot and Omg,,stopppp .I wantedto put a little nastier cam in it when i was younger ,still temped but not now on this car , maybe my other 1970 I'll never get on it like that anymore ,just cruise and of course ill stomp on it once in a while but nothing like my younger year days and ill stay with the original cam and everything else Enjoy your Oldsmobiles everyone and God Bless you all
Thanks for watching it sounds like you have a nice car
A real w30 will burn the tires through all the the gears even leaving it in drive untill you take your foot of the gas period .Areal one even stock is a torque beaast that will wrap you around a telephone pole
Uh, nice car, uh, I wish, uh, I had one!
no 442 in1970 hd 411 and ac aygears lower then 391 had no ac
Wtf r u talking about.
I think the gears were added in the restoration
OAI Induction (Out Site Air)
Mike not sure I understand your comment
have same car with 391 posi and auto no ac car
car has 71 fenders.
how can you tell
@@americandreamgarage3054 70 fenders are different.car was probably wrecked along the way.
car didn't come with those side stripes,either..it came with pin stripes or none at all.
i like the look's though
@@johndillinger8482 that's wrong ... The stripes were an option on the 442 as well as the W30. Same stripes he has could be has on both versions
@@BertNErnie442 you have no idea wtf youre talking about.No regular 70 442 came with the w-30 side stripe,and no 70 w-30 came with pinstripes on the side.
Why are you leaning on the fender???
So that is a 4A2 then..
Sorry that car is not real it's a clone and the W-30 is rated at 365 H.P. the Hurst/Olds is 370 H.P...
What letter heads are on that car
Wrong ... The W30 is rated at 370hp right from the factory
They didn't have a Hurst Olds in 1970 ... Only 1969 and 1972 as well as a few other years ... But the Hurst Olds in 1969 was rates at 380
@@BertNErnie442they had Indy pace car in 1970 !!
