Oldsmobile's legendary Cutlass is one of the best examples of GM's muscle car glory days, with their characteristic low profile, wide stance, and flowing bodylines. However, at the top of the lineup, the legendary 4-4-2 reigned supreme. This 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 is about as good as an example as you can find, a rare bench seat-automatic transmission car that's believed to be a genuine W-30 hardtop. Overhauled with a Mondello camshaft, the massive, correct 455 C.I. V8 sitting under the hood breathes through a 4-barrel carburetor and cranks out 370 horses into the rear wheels. Torque is put to the pavement through a numbers-matching 3-speed automatic transmission, which shifts smoothly and seamlessly as this 4-4-2 cruises down the freeway. What really sticks out on this 4-4-2 is its show-quality dark green paint, which is laid out over the laser-straight bodylines beautifully. It's complimented by a pair of great-looking golden decal stripes, which run the length of this 4-4-2's ram-air hood and match excellently to the car's color-matched wheels. The 4-4-2 badging, tout rear haunches, the dual-intake hood, the rally stripes, and the rear spoiler all combine to create a truly muscular, intimidating look! The underside to this car is also extremely solid, with strong frame rails, floors, trunk and jambs. The interior is absolutely immaculate, with the original headliner and comfy golden vinyl bench seats that are perfect for cruising. Additional woodgrain trim brings a little bit of luxury flair to the interior, and the original AM radio still sits in the dashboard! Options on this muscular 4-4-2 include power steering, power front disc brakes, a power trunk release, an original AM radio, factory gauges, "dual-sport" mirrors, a rear spoiler, and a mean-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on an attractive set of 14" color-matched steel wheels matched to chrome dog-dish hubcaps over Firestone Wide-Oval RWL tires for a factory-fresh appearance that's hard to match. Turn the key and that massive 455 V8 starts right up, making sure that this 4-4-2 goes like hell. There aren't too many cars on the market that have the same presence that this one has, with a gorgeous color scheme and an interior like this one has. You're not going to see another quite like it, so don't let it pass you by!
