1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Convertible Recreation
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme/442 W-30 Convertible in beautiful Code 78 Burgundy Mist "Black Cherry" being sold at "No Reserve"
This was your Father's Oldsmobile if he were the cool Dad on the block back in the 1970's. If you don't get an adrenaline rush every time you fire a car up like this I'm afraid you'll have to see a doctor. 442 stands for 4-speed/4-barrel/Dual Exhaust! This very elegant looking Convertible was simply made to look like an awesome 442 W-30 specimen. The price of gas has fallen so now all the muscle cars can be driven daily without breaking the bank. Although these Big Blocks are rather thirsty.

Opportunities like this don't come around very often. It is no great secret that the 1970 Cutlass Supreme/442 Convertible has more than doubled in price over the last decade. This is a rare genuine 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible that was ordered from the factory in the extremely rare code 78 Burgundy Mist as proven through the data plate. A true 442 Convertible has a vin number that starts with 344 to prove it is a real 442. That is the way to verify these cars came from the factory ordered as a genuine 442 convertible. The vin number on this car starts with 342. I'm sure most Cutlass/442 guys will tend to agree that it is very rare to find one in Burgundy Mist. 1970 has proven to be one of the most expensive and highly sought after years to acquire from the pinnacle of the muscle car era with the highest investment value. There plain and simply are not many left in existence.

Everything will be explained that was learned from the previous owner who had this convertible in storage covered the entire time he owned the car during the winter months or when he was not driving it on hot summer days. I've only had the pleasure to enjoy it for the past year and a half, but I've always had it covered in my garage as well.

This Big Block Rocket 455 engine was completely rebuilt about 2 years ago with just over 10,000 miles on the motor since it was rebuilt. The Rochester 4-barrel Quadrajet carburetor was freshly rebuilt within the past year and sits on top of an Edelbrock Performer 455 aluminum intake manifold. The driveshaft was rebuilt with new U-Joints. The awesome steel framed W-25 ram-air hood still has the primary hood pull and the secondary hood latch that both work well, but the chrome twistdowns make absolutely certain that this ram-air hood will never fly up on a driver at high speeds. On top of the quadrajet carburetor is a genuine GM ram-air induction air cleaner with a new foam seal. This Rocket 455 does have the proper 396021 F casting numbers, but has not been verified to be the numbers matching original Rocket Big Block 455 that came with the car from the factory.
