Another beautiful Oldsmobile 442 Cutlass. I love the emerald green and gold paint scheme, and the green convertible top sets it off. The cam in that engine sounds radical, and extremely healthy. That dual gate shifter makes this car a true Hurst Olds. Sweet example!

The sound of a big block at WOT. There is nothing like it. The owner is super cool and his car is amazing.

Jack's a wild man! No sedate cruising past the camera for him. Love the car, and the color is rare and fantastic.

Growing up there was guy on our block who had a 1972 442 Hardtop in the same Dark Green. The family car was a brown Vista Cruiser for the 4 kids. One drag racing season he blew ? in the motor on the VERY 1st weekend of race season. Needless to say she wasn't happy about that future expense but she knew he raced PRIOR to their marriage. Rebuild the next spring.

Absolutely stunning car and color combination! Seeing the W27 rear end was a real treat. Owned a 71 Cutlass in college and loved its classiness. True story: senior year in college after 1976 Christmas break I drove back to Illinois State University with a 455 stuffed in the trunk. Trunk lid was tied down but you could see the motor. Amazing number of people commented and asked if it was for real over the CB airwaves. Rebuilt the motor as a project in a Automotive shop class. Still have the motor sitting on an engine stand. Was supposed to replace the 350 in my Cutlass, but I took out the rear end on a rainy day on the expressway not long after I graduated. Planning to open up the motor this summer to check it and find a new owner for it.

“Let those trumpets blow that bugle” how fitting. What a beautiful car.

What a beautiful car! There is a special feel in an Oldsmobile!

That's quite the intro for quite a car! The color is fantastic and Mr. Fritz definitely keeps this Olds in great shape. Thanks, Lou!

Hi Lou, This is a fantastic car. The 71 442 was the pinnacle of the muscle car era, this is a great looking example. Thanks for sharing. 😉😉

Just a beautiful car, nothing tops a Oldsmobile in my opinion!! Thanks lou!

One of the meanest muscle cars around.

Man, I can not tell you how much I appreciate your regular featuring of Oldsmobiles. As far as I can find, you are about the only one on YT who does. So thank you and I appreciate you!!

Lou, those exhaust trumpets are playing a sweet note out of that big block! Such a gr8 color. Beautiful Olds.

An Oldsmobile lovers Dream Machine 💚

Beautiful car.....great color. Even tho I don't care for drop-tops, I could find a place in my garage for it.

Beautiful 442 Lou ! Jack has taken very good care of it . I love it when the owners take you for a ride .

Love the 71 442... ! And the 455 with the dual gate shifter is way cool. ! The rumble of that engine sounds radical, too ! Jack is one LUCKY guy. ! Thanks Lou, for a great video, and thumbs up. !

This one has my heart! Back in the early 90's I had 3- 1972s, 1969, all Cutlass Supreme and a 1965 F85 all hardtops. That 455 sounds sweet. Thanks for sharing Lou. Where he has the aftermarket gauges is where a factory 8 track player would have been.

Beautiful color combo and gotta love the formidable 455. This is one quality muscle car that must be rewarding for Jack every time he gets behind the wheel. Thanks Lou and Jack for this feature today👍

Wonderful 442 - great colour combo! The hood pins are a neat touch. Thanks Lou for bringing us this classic!

What a sharp Cutlass, I'm sure there are not many around, thank you, Jack and Lou.

My Jr High friend girls mom drove a Cutlas convertible in 73? It was a 72 I think, and wow! Gold with white interior. Thanks Lou for another fabulous My Car Story~

So pretty...that green looks better than black. That 455 sounds sooooo good!!

Bad ass! My dream car... I miss my 72 Cutlass. What a beauty!!! Thanks Lou

Amazing how much original documentation he was able to find!!

Thank U Lou Another superb Oldsmobile Story. That Jack Fritz has done an excellent restoration. The 455 is built Full House & even looks sharp with Olds 455 Blue & Polished Alum Heads. If Jay Leno needs a stand in for Jay's Garage I'd like to nominate Jack Fritz...😊👍🏁

Another Driver 2 car, but now as a cab! WOW! The top has the same colour as the car!!

Very smooth 442...the love nd passion is unquestionably ..you dont see it with the younger generation..they dont own anything lol

GREETINGS. From Venezuela. SPECTACULAR OLDSMOBILE CONVERTIBLE. I really like this distinguish Green Paint Mr. Lou, Thank you very much for showing us this GREAT CONVERTIBLE. Mr. Lou, Thanks for taking us along for a ride. EXCELLENT AUTOMOBILE VIDEO.

Also one of the best looking Muscle Cars out there IMO!!

Upscale 70's muscle car........what a beauty.

Love this Olds Cutlass 442! My dad had a 1970 Olds Cutlass with the 455. Too bad he didn't keep it. Thanks again, Lou!

I'm an Oldsmobile man that is a beautiful 71 442 the owner drives that car the way it should be driven I know I had a 68 442 and my father had a 70 awesome video

Once again, Lou comes through with an outstanding video of an extremely well-done muscle car. The extraordinary amount of detail that went into this 1971 4-4-2 build cannot be captured in a fifteen-minute video, but the workmanship is apparent. Trust me; I Know. Special custom work is seen throughout this 4-4-2 convertible. Things like owner Jack Fritz' attention to fit and finish goes beyond what a normal restoration shop may do, or even dream of. Like adding extra metal to the door edges for a better adjoining line with the fender and rear quarters. Or the custom made extra deep air cleaner base that allows use of the factory outside air induction system with the high-rise intake manifold. Then there is the custom-made heat shield attached to the A/C box to prevent heat damage from the exhaust header. Further examination shows the custom application of the factory 8-Track tape player housing that has the four tell-tale gauges. I can go on and on, but this is one exceptional Olds 4-4-2 for sure. Thank you, Lou & Jack, for sharing this magnificent video of a well-built car.

I love this guy! Loves his car so much, he doesn't touch it without a microfiber towel! That's love! Beautiful car! Seems to sit a bit high in her rear tho...yeah....who cares! Lol. Love the bumperettes. Thanks lou!

Great car stripes under clear, not decals. The color green is one of my favorites that I've painted as it looks hot! Jack is a wild man and it's nice to do work for people who are as crazy about their cars as I am! To have this car since high school is my favorite thing about the car.

One of kind love that cam sound explosive

442 dream, nice for a weekend cruise, thanx lou!

And yes she goes as good as she looks!!

Really nice looking, running and sounding 442. It certainly sounds like Dr. Olds did second day work on that one. In addition to new heads, headers and intake, it sounds like it got a new cam too. Very nice car and glad to see an owner who will exercise it a bit on his private drag strip.

Only one word is enough to describe this car; AWESOME : )

Oldsmobile was a Great GM Brand ....... The Green is So Cool !!

Beautiful color combination and the car looks stunning with the top up or down, that green top is special for sure. Man that 455 has a nice thump thump to it. A gentleman's hot rod and one of the last true muscle cars!!!

Love me a 442!!. My favorite GM Muscle Car!!

Beautiful muscle car

jack and tim wong would have alot to talk about.would love to see that shifter in action.

Sweet! Remember when GM used to build cars and things that were beautiful? Well, this was when and they don't make anything worth spit now (the new Shamvette is a hideous distortion and mishmash that will never be beautiful). Nice job, Lou! A true beauty! And that color is GORGEOUS!

What a beautiful car

Maybe the most balanced Muscle Car out there too!!

Hi, Lou! If you've ever seen the classic comedy film "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", you'll remember how everyone in its big all-star cast was looking for a fortune in cash under a "Big W". Well, now all of us 107K fans (and growing) of "My Car Story" know where to find a "Big W" that's a mad mad mad mad lean mean jade green muscle machine and a fortune in driving fun, with a dual-gate shifter no less! Can't put a money amount on that! So...how's your neck?!! I think we all got whiplash just from watching this ride! LOL! 442 thanks you and Jack (or should we call him "Joey" [17:34]) for this rapid Rocket ride, and those fabulous scenic views of Lake Michigan! ILL CYA next time!

Love that HUGE American flag too!!

Thanks Lou. I love this ‘71 442 🙏🙏

Im green with envy.🤣🤣

I am DROOLING over this baby!!

She’s a real beauty.

Nice '71 and def cam sounding there. Favorite color combo too. I'm sure he gets lots of attention. And Yes, we had a Cutlass S in the family, 1972.....loved it, but always wanted a '72 442. In 1969 we test drove a just off the truck 442 fast back version, blue/white/white, but Dad couldn't get the deal he wanted then. That was a good looking ride and only one of a few that dealer ever got. They got a few of the Yellow Rallye 350's but wasn't a fan of those back then.

Excellent.

Beautiful 442. I heard that Jack wondered how many 71 442 convertibles that are still around and so do I. I have one 71 442 vert over here in Sweden that I bought 1982 and I know a couple more over here. But they are for sure rare beasts now, both here and in the US. Thanks for a great "ride" in Jack`s Olds and a enthusiastic and detailed video, Lou. Cheers and Best Regards from Leif in Sweden.

another great 442. those hurst shifters neat.

And not a lithium ion battery in sight around this bruiser!! Thank God lol ;)!!! And thank you Lou, for bringing us this gloriously jade green and gold 442. EPIC and amazing. That wolfie werewolf lope coming out of those 2 trumpets out back is worth every listen, man. Oh boy! I will have my green and gold striped on top tubesocks and SUPER floppy white DC's on for this Olds, man. Every step I take they will flop off as if mt stocking feet are saying "Howdy!" with every step. 100% still the JV baseball delinquent kid from highschool and this 442 brings that out! You got a problem with that big bro, Lou? I hope not. Thanks big brother! :) JV Johnny

Good Lookin' Olds ! Thanks Lou !

Goodday Lou, As Australia's biggest Oldsmobile fan this spectacular 442 is awesome from every angle. Great scenery too with Lake Michigan in the background. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

Wow!!

Just Magnificent !

The old State Line power plant!

Love the sound!

Beauty.

Gotta love those solid lifter big blocks.

I love that car.

Love this car had a 69 70 72just love the70s

Hardtop or Convertible, this is a seriously handsome body style. I wish I had owned one of these back when they were affordable.

Wow another beautiful Oldsmobile gotta love them can’t wait until you do a sx model since I own a 70 sx convertible in rallye red 👍🚀

😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Fantastic looking thing. One of your best ones Lou.... A pedant writes! you may not qualify the word "unique".... Something cannot be very, really, extremely, etc, unique. It either is unique or it is not....

She sounds the part too!!

67th thumbs up for Lou… Hey Lou… Are you personally catering to my taste in cars somehow through the Internet? How do you know the cars that I like? Another nice Oldsmobile Lou? I’m suspicious how you would know that this would be another amazing car for me. What’s your secret?ESP ?

The only thing I can say is WOW!!!

Way cool car Lou. Have a good weekend and thumbs up on your video.

Fully watched and liked (loved actually)

This is just a badass car there Awesome 👍👍👍😎

I really dig the color combo

Is that a 1971 or 1972? I thought the only year with horozontial taillights was 1972. I could be wrong, they may have changed them in 71. Beautiful exquisite car. Thanks Lou! Awesome!

its called the stallion in grand theft auto series 😍

Lou that would look good in my car port, a great auto👍👍.

Top 3 favorite cars ever,and that green convertible omg!It sounds a little extra radical..maybe a cam?

“we’re not gonna do the full qtr mi because the tank is only @1/2 full and that run would probably use every drop, plus some….”

CUT the roof off any car and you automatically make it more desirable to drive and look at! Yes, even in RAINY Vancouver! ATM, my all-time FAV is the 1968 SHELBY COBRA GT500 KR. (CONvertible) The Olds and Buicks are UP THERE too of course!

very nice 😀

442 : 4 barrel carb. v 2 , 4 speed trans v 3, True DUEL exhaust v Y pipe off headers

JAY LENO IS WONDERING IF IT IS FOR SALE

chingon

Somewhere Tim Allen is going RRRRRRR

Beautiful Olds! You just got to love the 442's That 455 sounds awesome. GREAT VIDEO LOU.

I thought it was black also. Love the car!

Lou, Is there any way to find out the exhaust components on this car front to back? Would put the identical set-up on my 442. Thanks.

Hey Lou, That 442 is one mean cruiser. It's nice how original it is and that exhaust sound ..there's nothing that can beat the sound of a 70's Era muscle car. What is the HP of that beast?. Thanks for another amazing old school muscle car.

As far as torque goes...more than what the Factory put out.

Beautiful, except for the horrible tires

How many miles on this car and what type of torque does this car have

What's the cam type and grind number and what type of exhaust and mufflers
