1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 W-30

– Engine: Rocket  455cu., 310 hp.
– Four speed transmission.
– Exterior Color: Silver Pewter Metallic.
– Full restoration.
– The 442 was technically the ‘B09 Police Apprehender’ option which included the four-barrel carbureted 330 cubic-inch V8 with dual exhaust and 310 horsepower. The suspension, shocks, clutch, transmission, driveshaft, brakes, and wheels were also greatly improved. The name ‘4-4-2’ evolved from the combination of options: four-barrel carburetor, four-speed transmission, and dual, meaning two, exhausts. The 442 had been offered in retaliation of the Pontiac Tempest GTO which was unexpectedly popular. Oldsmobile wanted some of those sales. The 442 was offered on any F-85 or Cutlass model except the station wagons.
– In 1972 only 113 W30 convertibles and 659 W30 coupes were sold.
