1972 Oldsmobile 4-4-2,Viking Blue Order Yours Today!
The muscle car produced by Oldsmobile was the now famous 442 introduced as an options package for the Cutlass and F-85. So popular it became a model of its own from 1968 through 1971.
It then dropped back to an options package through the mid 1970s.
With the muscle car drive and competition going on and not to be left out the Oldsmobile 442 arose to compete with the Pontiac GTO.
The Pontiac GTO proved to be such a big success in the early 60s that a hasty response by Oldsmobile produced the first 442.
The Oldsmobile 442 kind of got its name based on the big 4 barrel carburetor, the 4 speed transmission and dual exhaust.
The option available for any Cutlass or F-85 except the station-wagon, and most all were the hardtop coupes.
A hot tip for car collectors there were only about 10 of the 4 door sedans constructed with the 442 (B09) option.
Very impressive stats for the 442 were noted by Motor Trend. The 3,440 lb car got a 15.5 sec quarter mile at 90 mph. It would also make a scalding run to 60 mph in 7.5 sec.

By 1965 with the sanctioning of the muscle cars by GM’s bean counters, Oldsmobile jumped in with both feet.
They added the big engine a 400 cubic inch (6.6L) engine and renamed the car 442. The definition of the 442 was restated as 400 cubic inches, 4 barrel carburetor and 2 exhausts.
The new engine’s output was 345 hp at 440 ft-lbs. The 442 came standard with a 3 speed manual transmission but as an option you could get the 4 speed.
The 1965 model 442’s was the first to have as standard the Hurst Shifter when the HD 3 speed manual transmission was ordered.
At the time in 1965 Modern Rod reported the stats for one of the 442’s with slicks, headers and a 4 speed transmission smoked the quarter mile in 13.78 sec at 102.73 mph.
Even the automatic version blasted through the quarter in 15.5 sec at 89 mph and also 0 to 60 in 7.8 sec.
With these numbers the sales rose to 25,003 cars.
