A 1970 Oldsmobile 442 with 3,039 miles on the odometer is for sale on Hemmings for $59,900. The muscle car pairs its original numbers-matching 455 cubic-inch V8 engine with modern upgrades suited to daily driving.
Oldsmobile rated the 455 at 370 horsepower, though enthusiasts consider that a conservative figure set to appease insurance companies. The engine block has been rebuilt and bored with high compression pistons, high-flow heads, a performance intake, and Holley carbs.
The transmission is a Tremec five-speed manual, though the original Muncie M-21 four-speed manual comes with the sale. Modern additions include a Vintage Air climate control system and a stereo hidden in the glove box. An 8-track player remains as original equipment.
The 442 wears Twilight Blue Metallic paint with a white interior and white decals. Factory dashboard and door panels survive, though seat covers and carpeting were replaced. The paint shows only minor chips. The car sits in Bayville, New York, and carries a New York license plate reading "IV IV II."
The interior remains mostly original due to its low mileage storage. The seller notes the price sits higher than other 442s, attributing it to the ultra-low mileage, fortified engine, and modern features.
