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.

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.

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!!!

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

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...

In 1970 there was no " Cutlass 442". 442 was its own model. Cutlass was its own model.

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.

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.

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
