1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442--Chicago Cars Direct HD

[bluesbrothermike]

ummmm 4 speed????? but any who love the car. don't you just miss that key in the dash. I just picked up a 64 olds 98 and I am going nuts over the car. Classy cars God I miss them. (kid of the 80's but still saw many of these on the road)

[eminembadreminem]

7:51 right mirror ?

[fish02100]

Always thought the 442 was a manual transmission. 4 Speed 4barrel Duel exhaust...? NO?

[mudman1959]

Beautiful Machine! This was my first vehicle I owned my Senior year in 1977. Mine came out of Georgia with only 42000 miles on it, but mine was a 4 speed manual trans car. Would love to own one again! Sweet Ride! Thanks for the memories... Mudman1959

[supergavo123123]

What a shame the Oldsmobile brand was terminated by GM

Even in its last years Oldsmobile was one of the few innovative divisions of GM producing its own products - wheras the other divisions of General Motors simply rebadged

Then again - perhaps that is the reason they were terminated

[nopehopenopehope]

LOVE THE  V8 !!

[NMWMN]

...jaw dropping!

[ThaTKidDreW93]

7:24 i bet his wife was like that LOL

[B4BoomersBlockBoy7]

Are you sure this a 442 ? looks as if, may be a "Clone " to me !

[B4BoomersBlockBoy7]

Are you sure this a 442 ? looks as if may be a "Clone " to me !

[gfbarchitect]

442 originally meant 4 barrel carb, 4-speed, (2) dual exhaust. The literature changed in 1965 and they stated 442 stood for: 400 c.i. emgine, 4 barrel carb, dual exhaust.

[DJ4000VOLT]

442= 4 barrels 4 seats 2 doors

[beerdeddi1]

almost a museum car!

[EduWestCoastRap]

and the guy even bends the papers of the car like they had no value at all, depressing.

[EduWestCoastRap]

this car wouldnt last long in that conditions with an owner like this guy... always touching everything and threating it gross.

[popson45]

Is it just me or does anyone else hear a knock in that engine @ 8:57-9:00 ??

[claytonstl4]

has anyone looked at the tags?

[luisarturomarin]

SOMEBODY KNOW THIS CAR WHAT TIME DO? 0 TO 60 ?

[casper123]

Amazing car.

[RayGettings]

Hope the new owner becomes a member of the Antique Auto Club of America (AACA)

[westexpipeliner1]

I owned a 67 442 my last year in HS and first year in college. I graduated in 1971.

Mine was close in color to this car, it was a true 442 with a 4 speed manual trans no A/C. It had :411 gears and would pass anyting but a gas station and a garage.

The seats were vinal not leather.

[AceDriveProgramming]

Where can you get a 442 upgraded from a 350 stock? Any price range as well?

[FloridaBoyNick]

Does anyone know what the price of this would be? like fully restored?

[philip21786]

If that car had a vagina, I'd fuck it.

[markos6363]

@philip21786 I'd fuck it anyway.

[MrGenebets]

could be leather could be vinyl. I don't know. HAHAHA

[Tastycarrots]

Wow the guy in the video really is a MORAN. 1:51 he probably took a good chunk out of the paint with his wedding ring.

[02vector]

@Tastycarrots It's MORON stupid takes one to know one ha ha

[02vector]

@Tastycarrots It's MORON stupid takes one to know one ha ha

[srercrcr]

The wheels certainly aren't numbers-matching....they're from Buick.

[365degrees]

@srercrcr I have to agree with you only that the rims resemble the buick rim but I owned a 71' olds with these rims, they are oldsmobile rims. Look at 2:15 and you will see the Olds emblem. I've noticed there are a few rims that all resemble this style. I've seen mustang mach I's, mercurys, chryslers that have a similar style rim.

I'm not being a dick towards you, just hate to see people not knowing the truth and if you feel that I am just trying to insult you, not true.

[Miker3797]

SOLD! :-(

[TheSamaell]

american 60s and 70s cars vs european ones = to the tommy gun vs a sniper riftle ... tommy loud , big, easy to use , fun vs sniper less amo ,more complicated , more acurate, and safer ... it goes down  to every drivers style I love them both

[The67cutlass]

I have a 67 cutlass 4 door no post with a 394 big block! it blows people away when they realize its a 4 door! Best car ever made!

[johnbacktun]

not a matching442.  442 means 4 speed manual tranny 4 barrel carb dual exhaust.

[wngnutmv]

@johnbacktun not always! this is a 400, 4 barrel, dual exhaust. 4 4 2

[RoundenBrown]

Thank you! You said Four Four Two and not Four-Forty Two. I hate it when people say the latter.

[pepp5150]

24 hr's going over it,,, then how could miss the Cutlass badge on deck lid!!!!!!! just wondering!!

[pepp5150]

Cutlass and 442 on deck lid WTF!!!!!

[MrRagman93]

@ 0:37 Just Badass!

[cbcrog]

ok look, im tired of trying to watch car videos and people getting a case of ass. Here's the facts, European and Asian cars got grand prix and course racing down. Drag racing and circle track, yes American car makers got that down. Both are good both have better areas, now shut up and watch the video!!!!

[chipsperry]

Nice car BUT, the Cutlass badge should not be there-it's missing the 442 stripe(all 67 442's had 'em).He scrutinized the car for 24 hrs? haha

[chipsperry]

[McVaio]

I don't think those wheels are original...

[scarb0r0]

i hate how this guy says it's in better than new condition

[MrMcDschingis]

NICE car!

but i dont understand what some little balls moron is complaining about american an european cars just to feel better...

[tmklunk]

talkin american muscle here not some guy named BIFF bmw

[mypalrocco]

If this guy knew what the fuck he was actually talking about, he'd know the the seats were vinyl, NOT leather!

[mypalrocco]

One of my all time favorites! So much so that I paid some decent money for an extremely detailed 1/18 scale version made by Highway 61...cool stuff!

[CJurasin]

My '67 Cutlass 442 has the factory floor shift......why would someone order a 442 with COLUMN shift???

[mypalrocco]

@CJurasin

Better blowjobs while driving!

[dominicancheif117]

do you watch fast lane daily? cuz you have their intro music or do they have your intro music????

[daltonmaddy]

Cutlass should not be on the left of the trunk lid. Don't try to fool people. Stick with your new stuff and leave the classics alone.

[nelsonafonso1]

no seat belt?

[Lebanesefinest]

chicagodirect>jayleno's garage WOOT!

[jewald4]

I just got a 67' with a factory installed W-30. All the numbers match. My friends call me a spoiled 17 year old. Awesome car though.

[starguard]

My mom had this exact same car. Back in the 70's she sold it to the junk man for $35. The Junk man came over the house on the bus with a brand new battery, dropped it in, and drove off in it!

[gmo8492]

year one is a good place for gm parts..

but over here on the west coast in seal beach calfornia

theres another place called original parts group

where they everything and any thing for your gm muscle car..

subscribe to my channel.. updates will come soon..

[alienaxe]

why does the serial number have the wrong rivets?

and yes , i agree that you should slam the shit out of a door.

and it is a beautiful restoration, above the rest.....WTF with the cutlass emblem.

unless its the original trunk lid and the dealer had a dealership emblem drilled into it. i hated when dealerships would drill into a new car panel. that took a lot of balls, ever for back then .

[mtrboater1]

I had one just like this my senior year (with a black vynal top and no air) It was geared so low (4:33) that you could just let the clutch out in 4th gear and it would go.

"It got 8 miles to the gallon." (1970 price .39 per gallon) In high school I made $1.60

an hr. part time. (That's $35 a week after taxes) I lived like a king! Had the world by thethe ass!

[MiracleMile90]

@mtrboater1: Nice, although, IMO, had I bought a Cutlass new in '67, I probably would've bought much taller gears. A tiny bit slower off the line, but to be feared on the highway.

[xwarxsabrewulf]

Oh my god I love that car! My Cutlass Spreme 1989 is nowhere near as badass as that 442

[1MPALASS]

back in the day my dad bought one for my grandpa then my uncle ruined it

[hoschist]

lol every door will close if slammed this way...omg...

[robbypjr]

while the other guys are argueing about the "Car" I'm just "Dreaming" of a Day I can own the Best "MUSCLE CAR 442" that ever existed !

[blues03]

Why didn't the original radio work?

[tamapalagi]

@blues03 it was there just for looks. it had digital audio in the glovebox.

[blues03]

@tamapalagi Right, thanks for the reply.

[robbypjr]

cool......now how much ?

[pepp5150]

wtf?? cutlass rear deck lid (trunk)

[hoschist]

@pepp5150 it's correct...the 442 was not an own model in 1967...it was an option on the cutlass supreme

[hoschist]

@pepp5150 ah now I now what you meant...wth is that cutlass badge doing there?

[birdhunter317]

To whom it may concearn,SHEDHEAD,Olds did not put the 455 in the 442 until 1969.the 400 cu in engine in the 442's were acually under bored 425 wildcats,with a much more wild cam in them

[shizmar884]

Until 1970. GM did not allow larger than 400 ci in the A body platform until 1970. This was across the board, Chevelle, Cutlass, Skylark, LeMans. If you got an "as made" from the division, it had 400ci or less.

There were cars that got >400ci, but not direct from GM. Hurst/Olds ... Yenko's, COPO's etc ... those had the larger engines.

[hoschist]

@birdhunter317 no it's an olds engine...no buick.

[shmedhead]

yep, yep you did have an oldsmobile. but an olds cutlass. ( with 442 badges)

close but no cigar : )

[mrjost55]

why don't american car companies don't make interiors like that anymore? Especially for the Camaro/Mustang/Challenger

[Granada28]

Amazing car, but sounds like the gearbox shifts a little bit too slow, even for a 67'? Listen at 7:48 - I'm not an expert at all.. just wondering? Thanks for great overviews of stunning cars!

[SkylarkGSX]

The transmission shift is adjustable as is everything on this car. Just take a flat head screw driver and turn the vacuum modulator on the side of the transmission, either in a bit or out a bit depending on what RPM you'd like it to shift at. It's that simple! No computer chips. No plastic! This 442 is truly spectacular. Not too many left in the world which makes it more rare than an expensive Ferrari or Vette! Once they're gone then they're gone.

[Tboninator]

Automatic transmissions should shift nearly instantly.

[shmedhead]

sorry with 4 speed trans

[shmedhead]

Not a true 442 olds

442 means

455 ci

4 barrel carb

true dual exhaust

[bapsternow]

@shmedhead I think you better go back to the books and do some studing. I had an original 68 442 and it did not have the 455 in it. It also had the 400.

[donwon213]

You are partly correct. The 442s did come with 455, but not in 1967. In 1967 the 442 came with a 400ci Big Block, not the 455. I had an all original 1967 442.

But as far as the 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust, you are spot on.

[mustang633NY]

@shmedhead no - 4bbl carb, 4 speed trans, dual exhaust. thats what the first 442 was... well actually it was the police package that they then sold to the public under the 442 name plate.

[ZorbinEUR]

Amazing!!

i love american cars from that era

why is the radio inoperable? u didnt say lol

[4wheeler14]

no doubt in my mind it has a Flowmaster exhaust. Awesome 442

[Rockstargamesfan1]

Looks brand new !

[lovecars890]

chicagocarsdirect:

I really liked your reviews and I really think you guys are the best on youtube! Do you have a Toyota Land Cruiser avaliable to do a review?? I know is not a best-seller or the best car in the world, but is definitely a world class 4x4, very comfortable and very very tough.

Thanks a lot

[305pride]

amazing amazing car

[MercedesF700]

This is only a three speed transmission? Thats a little dissapointing. And I think that that is a small amount of horsepower for a 6.6 liter engine.

[JohnFromSpace]

I'm noticing a little patern here. Every time I watch a Chicago cars direct review an American car a European car fan always comes in to complain about Horsepower Per Liter. When I click on a Chicago Cars Direct European Car review I dont see the domestic fans bagging on the European cars. I thought the Euro Car fans would have a bit more class =/

[MercedesF700]

Well if you mean class, I mean, European cars have class, look at Mercedes, Maybach, Rolls Royce, Bently. They a lot have performance. The Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mclaren, a lot of those. Like you saw on this Oldsmobile, It only had 350 horsepower and only a 3 speed automatic. And it was a 6.6 engine. The Europeans would have fit a lot more horspower in an engine like that.

[JohnFromSpace]

By class I didnt mean the cars. I like all cars and European cars are nice. By class I meant the european car fans who seem to come in every american car video to bash on the interior or hp per liter. I thought the fans of European cars would have more class then that.

[MercedesF700]

Oh. Well I think that they think that the old cars are a little weak and not very nice.

[Tripp426]

The "old" cars were extremely powerful for their time and had what many Americans wanted back in the 60's and early 70's: no frills and monstrous engines that produced enough horsepower to roast the tires and burn down the quarter mile at incredible speeds with only a few modifications. This 4-4-2 was built to be a drag racer, not a luxury touring car.

[markmarshall39]

@MercedesF700 , our american cars in that year were probably 4 of yours, there's nothing like an american v-8, their just beautiful and wonderful to still have, and germany, what you guys have, the best engineared, i had the big 140 chassis s420, 96 boat, but it had to go, no hard fealings,peace!

[MercedesF700]

@markmarshall39

Really? I'll have you know that in the year 1937 a Mercedes W125 produced more than 500 horses... In 1937! American cars might have big muscle and big motors, but nothing flies like a European car.

[markmarshall39]

@MercedesF700 and exspensive maintenance!!

[HOTBOYRULE]

@markmarshall39 change your name it shouldn't be Mercedes fucking disgrace

[markmarshall39]

@HOTBOYRULE , change my name?

[assgod1]

nowhere near the torque though

[marktech101]

Yeah, lol. The Lamborghini Murcielago SV's engine is a 6.5 and it gets 670 horsepower. Almost double, and it's naturally aspirated as well.

[tamapalagi]

@marktech101 whats your point? it was 1967. single carb,hydraulic cam.

[matteovrizzi]

@marktech101 that is a foolish comment. The 670hp murcielago SV's engine was designed 40 or so years after this car's engine. I surely don't need to explain that technology has changed? Also the Lamborghini is a V12. Both amazing cars, but cannot compare them.

[mustang633NY]

@marktech101 so a lamborgini has more power than an oldmobile....you are putting a race car built for the wealthy against a car that was built for upper middle class americans/ canadians

[Samsgarden]

@MercedesF700

So how much power were said European cars making in '67?

[jones9999]

@Samsgarden 3.0L V12 Ferrari engine made 300hp, if you haven't managed to find that out in recent 3 months :) So, if we make a very-very rough equation, they would have churned out 600hp out of a 6 liter one. Pluss, European high performance cars (okay, you can't compare European exotics and American 60's - 70's peoples cars, which muscle cars back then were, but anyway) were sporting disc brakes A-arm suspentions and so on and so forth. But you can't compare rare Ferraris to these cars really.

[TheCeki1982]

@Samsgarden

power vs fuel cons.

This is an animal (great car).

[triathlon4ever]

@Samsgarden i think about 7

[2jzgtejza80]

@Samsgarden

Only Mercedes was making more power with same comparable displacement.

300SEL 6.3 V8 OHC independent fuel injection, 300 bhp, 4-spd automatic

Same year '67, 6.8 liter engine making 400+ bhp fitted with electric injection and dry sump.

[mustang633NY]

@MercedesF700 it wasnt about the "top end" power - it was the low to mid range torque. HP is calculated by this formula: Horsepower = (Torque X RPM) / 5252

You can have an oldmobile with 350 to 550 lb/ft of torque that only revs to 4,000 rpm thus the peak HP is less than a european motor that makes power up to 6,000 or 7,000 RPM

[joe1hollis2]

@MercedesF700 cmon man if you want to talk about power we can talk about corvette, a fraction of the cost and beating most of the very expensive european cars........this was a muscle car of the 60s and what european car had that kind of power in 1960s???

[MercedesF700]

@joe1hollis2

Corvettes may have a lot of power, but they use cheap materials(plastic) they have no good handling whatsoever, and you couldn't even drive as an everyday car. Then you look over to European manufacturers. You want a sports car with muscle, take an M3. You want a sports car with a small engine, take a 911 turbo. You want a luxurious, well made car, take a Mercedes E350. Now American manufacturers just can't make cars like Europeans. Not to mention, Mercedes-Benz did make the car.

[joe1hollis2]

@MercedesF700 corvettes are used as every day drivers where im from lol and you never answered, what european car in the 60s had more than 350 hp?????

[Detoyato]

@joe1hollis2 Ferrari's and Lamborghini's Made cars more powerful than that in the early 60's. Granted they are far more exclusive and expensive.. But the thing is. Eu cars are made more efficiently. That means a 170hp Mercedes SL back then will hit 60mph in just 7 sec not far from the 6.somethings that the 300+hp Ami cars at the time. Forget about comparing them powerwise, coz its a waste. Just love the cars

[Basjuhdeuil]

@MercedesF700 except jaguar with their ridiculous v12 engines. their milage was even worse then these awesome V8's !

[triathlon4ever]

@MercedesF700 but there is no replacement for DIsplacement!! haha

[Indogyearsimdead]

@MercedesF700 I noticed you only mentioned high end european cars.There's your mistake as this was a car offered the the common man in American, something unheard of in europe.

[spektor65]

@MercedesF700 "The Europeans would have fit a lot more horspower in an engine like that" ... but they hadn't

[TheSamaell]

@spektor65 because they reached 350hp with smaller engines ;) reached the same speed even without 350 hp

[thehondarider250]

@MercedesF700 wat would an affordable, everyday car that is european that anything CLOSE to 350 hp. i dont think there is any cause europe is about small engine fuel economy. like they r now, i have nothing against euro cars i like most of em but ur comment just states that u dont quite understand that oldsmobile isnt making cars worth over 300grand. this car was probably maybe 2 grand in 67' correct me if im wrong.

[MrCujo956]

@MercedesF700 so yes europeans have cars with more Hp now but what about back in '67?? what did they have then?

[MercedesF700]

@MrCujo956

Well, lets see. A 1966 Bizzarinni GT Strada had 365 horsepower from its V8, which is more.

[iranclassiccar]

@MercedesF700

a hemi car in 67 produce more than 664 nm torque...but what about an europian

[Itchhhh]

U.N.B.E.L.I.E.V.A.B.L.E.

[jo05dk]

WOW!

[VivaLaBamEpisodes]

how much?

[opmike343]

Nothing quite like being behind the wheel of a vehicle that gently rocks when you blip the throttle. Superb.

[1bentley4ever]

the sound those doors made when he slammed them....wow

[Tripp426]

When I watched the Chevelle SS video I loved it and thought "Well this is a treat, they'll probably never do another muscle car video" and then I watched this. Absolutely fantastic. What a gorgeous automobile with a tremendous exhaust note. Thanks so much for posting this.

[jason854656]

American muscle !

[apricotsnms516]
