1970 Oldsmobile 442

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Oldsmobile 442.

Many consider the 1970 442 the pinnacle of performance for Olds. GM dropped the cap size on the motors in 1970 and Olds responded by making the 455 the standard engine in the 442 models. The revised body style and increased performance resulted in the 4-4-2 being awarded pace car duties at the Indianapolis 500 race in 1970.Motor Trend praised the 4-4-2, stating that "it's probably the most identifiable super car in the GM house".
