This 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Convertible is a wonderfully restored, well-documented Real Deal 4-4-2 convertible! In 1964, Oldsmobile’s GM sister brand changed the course of automotive history when Pontiac released its performance-oriented GTO package and kicked off what would become the muscle car era. Of course, muscle car aficionados know that the muscle car was born when Pontiac took mid-size car and placed its large 389 cubic inch V8 into it with the GTO package. In an effort to stay on pace with Pontiac, Oldsmobile repackaged its lesser-known “Police Pursuit” package into its own new performance-oriented package, the “4-4-2” which was released in the middle of 1964 on the F-85/Cutlass midsize platform. In its initial year, 4-4-2 stood for a 4 barrel carburetor, 4 on the floor 4 speed manual transmission, and 2 (dual) exhausts. The 442 package also included a 330 cubic inch V8 along with heavier duty suspension and cooling components. The following year in 1965, Oldsmobile replaced the 330 V8 with a larger 400 cubic inch V8 and made an automatic transmission available in the 442. When Oldsmobile made these changes however, it was also changed what 4-4-2 stood for; so, in 1965, 442 stood for a 400 V8, 4 barrel carburetor, and dual exhaust. Powering this ’65 442 is a 400 V8 engine fed by a single 4 barrel carburetor. It’s backed by a 4 speed manual transmission and exhaust exits this 442’s powerplant via a dual exhaust setup. Riding on a set of redline radial tires mounted on white painted steel wheels finished off with chrome wheelcovers, this 1965 Oldsmobile has a great look and even better ride. A driver’s side mirror is a welcome addition since it makes squeezing in or out of a tight parking space much easier. The black vinyl power convertible top looks great and it goes up and down with the simple flick of a switch. The exterior of this ’65 Cutlass 442 has been correctly refinished in beautiful Provincial White paint completing the exterior look of this muscle car. The interior of this 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Convertible is absolutely stunning! The front bucket seats and rear bench seat have been correctly reupholstered in beautiful black vinyl. The matching door panels, black carpeting, black padded dash, and steering wheel are all in great shape and all appear to remain in their stock configuration. The instrument cluster is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer and fuel gauge, along with indicator lights for the generator, engine temperature, and oil pressure. The dash is finished off with a cigarette lighter, ashtray, and locking glovebox. Whether you’re adding to your existing collection of muscle cars or you’re buying your very first classic car, this 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Convertible would make a wonderful choice.
