...... Jerry was a race car driver, drove so gawd damn fast, never did win no checkered flag but he never did come in last, Jerry was a race car driver he'd say El Sob #1, with his Bocephus sticker on his 442 he'd light em up just for fun ...... Love this one!
Finally.... An Olds feature! I've been a strictly Olds guy since birth. They don't get the recognition they should. Hope to have my '71 on the legendary autotopia LA one day.
@@IrishDevil78 I agree. LS swaps are a dime a dozen. It would've been much cooler with an Olds engine swap IMO but at least its not crushed or sitting rusting away in someone's garage
not for nothing I went to a car show on Long Island about a year ago and 70%+ of the cars were 442s for some insane reason they were selling them for very reasonable prices.
To me, this is the sweet spot. You have a modernized classic car that looks original, but isn’t. It is comfortable, the interior is mostly stock looking, but it’s nicer. You have a 442 that is better handling and much faster than the original, but it’s still a 442. With the highly upgraded suspension and the size of the car, the 600+ hp is not overpowering it. Love it.
Mom. had this exact car without the 442 package, had the Sports Package with gold buckets and int, 350-2, automatic. May have had gold vinyl top. Never ceased to turn heads. These LED headlights are fantastic. Oldsmobile walk-off styling- this is so well done.
I feel the same. My Dad had one back when he was young and said he didn't really feel excited about the looks and performance. He loved his Comet though. I like the looks of a 442 WAY more. I think Mercury Cougars, the XR7's especially, are slept on too. That'll be my first true, show class restomod if I ever get one. Everyone has a Camaro or a Mustang or a Chevelle or an Impala... Cookie cutter. There's a TON of cool cars people don't consider. You can find a host car for a lot cheaper.
@@____MC____ Not as silly as that stupid Charger. Between that and the boob bumper, it's the ugliest thing ever to hit the street to me 😂. People love it.
...Oldsmobiles were a really great built car. ...I hung the REAR bumpers, along with a partner, on the 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442s & Wagons at the Lansing Final assembly plant in '69-'70. Believe we were running 92 jobs an hour, later production was raised by a few more jobs per hr. I remember a lot of Yellow 442s coming down the line with the scoop hoods & rear spoilers.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 is one of those cars that really makes me feel nostalgic. As a kid an older neighbor of mine had a 70's model 442. So sad Oldsmobile and Pontiac don't exist to this day.
I had a 1972 Olds Cutlass S. Very similar body. Noticeably different tail lights. Mine was a basic 350 v8 model in a similar metallic paint colour. I loved that car. It had all the right bones to be turned into a 442 replica. It was just a really nice car. I think those mid-sized GM ‘S were the perfect body size. They could be sporty and comfortable, with plenty of interior room for four and enough trunk space for summer holidays.
I’ve seen this guys cars before and they are the way to go. That olds is real nice wow. Thanks again sir great video. Mix of old and new is the way to go…👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Probably my second favorite next to the Chevelle with redlines. Big fan of the Oldsmobiles! Thanks for sharing! Roger makes you look like a little guy, holy moly!
Shawn, I love every minute of every epsiode. The cars are great, the production of the video is great. Keep doin what your doin! Keeps giving me motivation to keep restoring my 91 camaro.
A lot of friends had 442s back in the 70s. There was a 67...2 or maybe 3 68s... and a 1970 convertible in this very color. Always loved the 442s. I had a 72 GTO in almost the same color but the pontiac color was a bit more orange. Another great car in this body is tge Buick G/S. Orguably the cream of the crop... Nice car here. Another great vid!!
10:01 - That car back there is nearly identical to my 1st car @ time of purchase - could not WAIT to paint it..but that darker/much "richer" version looks great on the Olds. Classically 1970. I dig it.👍
I’ll tell you right now it’s not crazy at all. I had a 1955 Chevy build that I was going to do a full overhaul on with an LT4/Tremec/rolling chassis and I hit a $100k just in parts. That’s not counting paint/brakes/tires/wheels/fuel system/wiring etc. Then you add a custom made interior and custom fab parts? Pffff you’re looking at crazy money just in parts! The biggest though - LABOR. 1,000 hours at $100/hr is conservative where I live. Full resto can easily hit 1500 hrs.
This care looks and is amazing. For me the LT4 is perfect for this car bc you need the power but you don’t want too much power, hear me out, you want to be able to ride with your wife or husband but at the same time be able to act a fool on the weekend. AND be able to fix it and not need a shop to lie to you about what you need.
Everyone ask, what car would you buy if money was not an option and I say not sure/nothing. But I have been lying, that is the car. 1972 Cutlass Supreme, hard top. But I can go for a convertible.
@@JLYHT - Drove a bronze ‘72 Cutlass in the mid to late 70’s after totaling two cars before turning 25. Needed a slow cruiser to get me to 25 when my insurance rates would come back down! It was a nice cruiser and the back seat was very roomy. 😉
Sweet car, I didn't realize the 442 was the luxury version really cool. I like the transparency of the cost and what it takes to put a car of that caliber together. You guys kick ass! Thanks for showing
The 442 was the performance version of a Cutlass. The W-30 was the higher performance package on top of the 442. The Cutlass Supreme was the luxury version.
Holy... F**king....Crap...... Honestly, I never thought those spoilers looked that great. Same with the GTO Judge. But that is just a gorgeous car. Love the old Cutlass shape and the 442 is a beast.
Olds aint my cup of tea...that said... there's no deny the beauty of this build. It's like they used a giant 3d printer to create this level of craftsmanship. That center console box had me sold. Yep... i is now an Olds fan!
Sweet,in high school in late 70s i got a 70-442 with 455,was stock,yellow with w-30 goodies. luxury interior and still roast the tres,at 16 it was fun.
I played soccer with a guy with a Cutlass and we would drift it around the corners in the back roads on the way home from practice. My parents were thinking I had a smile on my face from practice…
Looks was more important than outright drivability in the USA back then.After that, cost was the next because the auto manufacturers wanted to sell as many cars as they could. So the plan was make them look great, be affordable to almost everyone, torque off the line to give the sensation of speed and handling and quality was down the list.People have to admit that for Mass Produced cars American styling and presence was tops.
It is my recollection that the Oldsmobile is superior to the Chevelles, and just adding... I'm not knocking chevelles I love them and I've owned a few of them myself !😊
@tecno8335 if "you" had the expertise to do so yourself, then yes you could. However the person who has 400+ to splash on a hotrod is probably rich AF so......
If i was that client spending that much cheddar i would want my car , not getting stone chips and hot rodded for shits and giggles!! Or is that called working out the bugs 😂

My favorite car of all time 70-72 cutlass!
Mine is two cars,,,Blue C6 ZR1 and 2015 Z28 Camaro!
As far as old schools go, yes except I’ll throw in 1973 also. I owned a black ‘73 4-4-2 with a built BBC engine.

Man, I can't wait to have my 70 on the road in the near future. I was just gifted one from my dad. It's a 70 cutlass supreme sx
Always loved Oldsmobile. Probably my favorite car you've showcased yet!
You know Shaun, most people watching won't have a budget like that so that's why I appreciate ya posting all these great cars man
I had a 70 W-30 that was silver with black stripes. A beast of a streetcar in 1976! Great work.
I had 70 w30 white with red stripes 4 speed beast yes.
Easily the best looking of the classic muscle cars and I'm glad someone's recognized that its worth an update.
If I get rich I will contact this man. Just perfection.

There's that smile and chuckle when he puts his foot in it at18:15. What a great car reminds me of the Grand National.

First muscle car I've seen on here and been like, yeah, that's a car that can have an automatic. Excellent build.
Agree, most bigger cars, Im fine with auto. Lots of room comfy, hit the AC tunes and enjoy the torque

Oh yeah - me likey Please more Olds, Pontiacs and Buicks just like this
Great sound and the car isn’t squirrelly all over the road
Doesn’t have enough power yet. Pulley, cam and ported blower will change that. lol
I've been waiting to see this for a long time 442 and that year model 👍
I really wanna see a 68 GTO hidden headlight in pepper green with green interior done up like this. 👍🏻👌🏻
Very big amount of power put into this car. Great episode. Greetings
The same age as me and yes, I do look like it - a few more flares in the arches, body.
I had that exact color 70 W30 442 back in the 80's. A LT4 442 is the ultimate.

Very nice build. I thought valve covers for Oldsmobile was like a gold color. Pontiac was blue.
The 350s were gold and the 455s were blue
