[Mrbattlefeildlover]

To the comment about a chevelle or 442 the 442 is the way to go my father has had many olds cutlasses and we love them Iand chevelles aren't rare at all.

[ericou812]

i just crapped my pants just hearing the awesome sound of it idling.

[IncensePeppermints68]

great car

[gtarz40ful]

general motors answer to the mopars! ..good try g.m.

[techdayguy]

I have a 1970 and 1971 4 speed w-30 convertible. I have never seen the red with gold combination, I like it.

[spf1410]

@techdayguy - You've got some cool cars! Yes, the red/gold is not common. I have not seen another like this.

There had been studies on the brain of addicts-any kind, drug/alcohol,etc. the one part of the brain if I am correct it is in whole or part of the limbic that just by showing the addict their drug of choice this part of the brain lit up in a light red color just by seeing it. Well when I just watched this video I bet the farm my limbic lit up fire engine red. I guess I am addicted to 442's, always been. Owned 7 oldsmobiles including 3 cutlass, 1 a 71 442. You have an exceptional car there.

[spf1410]

@365degrees - LOL! Thank you...!

[RockysMom89]

@365degrees I love them too. My first was a 67 Cutlass Supreme. It was fast. Then I got a 71 442 W-30. It would fly! When I see these old muscle cars or hear them or both my heart starts beating faster & I get all giddy. LOL! It's something in the blood. :-)

[Dangler442]

Nice W-30! I've got a 70 W-30 with 56,000 org miles that's Aspen green with black stripes with dark green interior. 455 with a 4 gear. Absolutely a blast to drive! I love it!!

increible 442

[xo7xbgdne]

Cool car nice paint.

[ModMob]

We had a 442 W-30, it was fantastic, dark blue with white stripes. i wish my dad had kept it.

[spf1410]

The rear wing was an option. This car was not equipped with that item.

[jasonbatson]

Wher is the wing

[bradleymoorer]

nice car!

[colts101man]

Love the 442 but what was the top speed fora 442 w-30 has to go faster than 140

[arctyler]

i dont know what i should get a chevelle ss or a 442?

[irarawkstarr]

@arctyler Just get whichever is in better condition for a better price. You can't go wrong, they're both awesome cars.

[89stab]

@arctyler everyone wants a chevelle ss be unique and go 442 wont do u worng.

[elr456]

I have seen a 442 here in Long Beach, CA. It looks like it needs a new paint job because it is starting to rust, it needs new wheels and the front has a knock from a fender bender. I swear everyday I pass it on my way to school, that 442 tells me, "Elvis, get a job and buy me, fix me up so we can kick some ass on the street". Lol xD It sucks because I'm only 16.

[spf1410]

@elr456 / Hang in there, I bought this one two weeks before I turned 16. Dreams can work out... maybe that 442 will be yours!

[elr456]

@spf1410 I hope so! Muscle cars are so badass and mean looking. Your 442 looks freakin' awesome.

[spf1410]

@elr456  Cheers!

[elr456]

@spf1410 Cheers! Old school style muscle cars forever!

[JRM0393]

@elr456 don't give up your dream! I'm dreaming of that car too. How I wish I had the money to go and search one and buy it. It's such a beautiful car!!! I love it!!!!

Hang on!

[TheAwesomeBlossom]

You have (had?) a fine example of American engineering. Glad to know your taking care of it

[st0ner4life]

what color is that

[spf1410]

@st0ner4life , the color is "Rallye Red" - it was a color you could select from Oldsmobile in 1970. Stripes and interior are gold, also original.

[ford1979truck]

Omg beautiful love your car so much what did you do to it since 1975 ? repaint or what plz give me details im a Ford man but i melt over these 442

[spf1410]

@ford1979truck / Did a "on frame" restoration in the mid to late '80s. Greg Rollin, the 442 Guru from Supercars Unlimited supervised and did most of it. Paint & interior were redone (original colors), underside and engine stripped and painted.

Thank you for the compliments! By the way, I love Fords too- like you!

[wilfredolatorre]

ITSTHE MONSTER OF MY DREAMSSSSS !!!!!!!

[TheRandomBranden]

woah, amazing video quality.

[beenohopps]

Jerry was a race car driver.

[spf1410]

@beenohopps - "...with a Bocephus sticker on his 442, he'd light 'em up just for fun!"

[scarface9917]

the gta sabre...anywayz thats a fine piece wouldnt sell it for a mil

[everettcary]

i want that car.

[tillman40]

God the cars back then had style AND attitude..

[spf1410]

It is the original W-30 4speed cam! Good ears!!

[TechMaven]

From the melodius sound of it, I would imagine that is the correct 328° cam?

[442smokn]

my dad has a 69 442

[snowman4839]

Thing of beauty. Olds and Buick are the way to go for classics. I got a 69 Buick Special Deluxe :-)

[CosmicGrooves]

Very nice but the video is too short.

[spf1410]

I'll make a longer video and post it for you! Wait 'till the weather gets better...

[xsolarwindx]

That's a really nice 442. I've always wanted one. How much do they sell for?

[LTR302]

I admire your muscle car from a far (Western Australia) she's a thing of beauty... Cheers, from a fellow muscle car enthusiast.

[spf1410]

Cheers Mate, thank you!

[7cutlass2]

I have a '72 olds... She is my love.

Your paint looks candy in that sunlight. Great job, only 6-9 coats of clear I'd guess. Haha and days and days of sanding and polishing. Beautiful car, no orange peel (:

[spf1410]

Thank you! It's Glasruit paint- I think it's German. Whatever it was- the stuff was expensive! Believe it or not, it's never been color sanded, just lightly polished- never cut with heavy compound. The painter was a popular vintage Ferrari painter in Portland, and I was lucky enough to have him shoot this, in about 1989 or so. He did a great job!

[BrennanBarrier]

you sir have great taste in muscle cars ;)

[midnitesquirldog]

nice 442!!!! i have a 72 buick skylark my bro has a 1972 cutlass supreme were into old cars big time.. did you ever wach the movie (demolition man) sylvester stalone and westley snipes.. its the same exact car they used same color as yours and everything its a great movie....

[BlueOysterCult87]

Beautiful and it sounds awesome!

[spf1410]

Thank you!

[DONDIVA1969]

Off the showrrom, the W-30 and W-31 Olds had two of the most radically cammed engines of the musclecar era.

[roach442]

i have a 442 just like that but its candy brandy wine color its a 4 spd w/black interior and the wing on the back and it is all original ang good shape clean car

[f1vef1ve]

I had '70 W-30 back in '74 when I was 19. Black with gold trim. Kept it two years and then sold it as I was to attend college. I regret I had to.

Nice car and vid. Thanks for the memories.

[BechHohen]

one of these things are living in my neighbourhood.

Btw nice vid =)

[spf1410]

Thank you!

[365degrees]

Beautiful Car!!

My GF back in the 70's, her sister's BF had this same car only black stripe and I had a 71 silver/black....

Brings back some good memories.

The Oldsmobiles were my favorites out of the chevelles,etc. Although they were nice too.

[trebdude1]

Man! What a car! the 70 olds has one of the handsomest grilles ever made. I just love the 68-72 GM A-body cars..

[stangdude360rs]

i got 1 too w-30 i had 2 sold the 70 it was a stripe delete 1 now jus t have a 71 satin gold both are hardtops nice car anyway

[entersandman1313]

Nothing beats a 4-4-2 in looks.

[McSpooner]

yea if i could honestly have ANY car it would be this or the nova

[SHNKNSN]

Stunning. I test drove one like it (Rally Red w/ white stripes) at O'Neill Oldsmobile in KC in July of 1970. Have lusted after it ever since. The idle of the 4-speed W-30 is beautiful music. Thanks for the video!

[fenderguitarist05]

beautiful car man! The 442s and the chevy nova's are some of my fav. muscle cars!

[rarew30]

Very nice ride! and I love the color combo! TWO THUMBS UP!!

[spf1410]

Thank you!

[macmanjim]

You are one lucky bastard. I have always wanted that car. One of my uncles was a class A mechanic for an olds dealer for 38 years and he used to tell me about that car...When I was 18 I could have bought one for $1500. I could now, but not for what they go for now. Good luck. It's beautiful.

[spf1410]

Thank you! I paid $750.00 for it in 1975; I too worked for an Olds dealer and the car had come in on trade. Since then, it's been in good hands and will remain so.

[macmanjim]

Well, at this point the only way I'll ever get one is a model. You can't even get a Cutlass of that vintage for less than $5000. It's like someone passed the crack pipe around when people put ads in the classified. It's a funny world. You have to see what passes as a $3000-5000 vintage car on craigslist in Iowa. I guess use meth instead of crack. :)

[365degrees]

LOL I know what you mean. When I bought mine back in the 70's the guy was asking $1300. I got it for $975.

It was silver/black.

[maxwelbr]

Red and yellow/gold? Interesting, never seen that before.

Ever considered taking that yellow and making it black?

[spf1410]

Actually, the yellow is gold. Yes, I thought about changing it years ago. However, I chose to retain the colors that the vehicle left the factory with. Gold, black, or white were the choices. This is the only Rallye Red / Gold W-30 I've seen.

[tor442]

Interesting color combo, your car is really cool.... Wouldn't you rather have SS1 wheels than SS2's?

[spf1410]

Thank you! I like the SS2's- the argent gray color tones down the Rallye Red color a bit.

[CeSSar70]

super car.........

[holeyfuc]

sounds mean as hell, what it got for exhaust? what size also? thanx!

[tonkinacura]

Stock exhaust system except for the mufflers, they are vintage Turbo Mufflers. The 4 speed W-30 cars all have pretty nasty OEM cams; that adds to the ear candy!

Thank you for the compliment.

[lcurtizz]

Haha, W machines are the greatest!

My dad has a '70 W-31

[Dcarlsonn]

My dream car. At 19 years old i can only dream of owning one. I'd kill just for a ride in one.

[spf1410]

If you're ever in Portland, OR - I'll take you for a ride in this one. I bought this car when I was 16 (in 1975), it's my "first car" and I'll always keep it.

[teddos17]

excellent tres belle auto, il faut sauvegarder ces muscles car, j'ai eu le tort de me séparer des miennes

[spf1410]

Merci!

[teddos17]

De rien c'est normal, moi meme j'ai eu un 4.4.2 mais, de 67
