COLLECTOR-OWNED, WELL-MAINTAINED SURVIVOR, 49K MILES, LOADED, T-TOPS, 2-OWNER!

Mid-80s Oldsmobile Cutlass coupes have always been popular, nd perhaps the most appealing of all is this 1986 Cutlass 442. Wrapping the elegant and surprisingly sporty Olds shape in classic black, ilver, nd gold certainly helps, nd with a burbling V8, -tops, gorgeous all-original interior, nd just one owner, his 49,953-mile survivor is the one to add to your collection.This 442 is one of those cars that you knew the minute it hit showroom floors in 1986 was going to be a future collectable. First, here's the 442 mystique, hich over the years has come to mean different things but always stood for performance. It was instrumental in turning the brand from "your father's Oldsmobile" into a legitimate muscle car brand. All of it comes together quite nicely with this 442, hich combines traditional Oldsmobile styling, ngular yet perfectly proportioned, ith a few muscle car styling cues like the tape stripes, acy two-tone paint, nd minimal chrome. It works as well here as it did in 1964. Thanks to decades of careful ownership and a fresh cut and buff, his one still looks almost new and you can tell that every one of those 49,000 miles was gentle and with future collectability in mind. The black shines up nicely, he doors fit well, nd it's highly unlikely that this car has ever seen a snowstorm or a major collision. If you like showroom fresh cars, his car is pretty darned good.The interior manages to perfectly capture the 442's personality. It's luxurious the way you'd expect from your Oldsmobile, ut bucket seats, console, nd a comprehensive instrument panel with round gauges suggest something else entirely. Just about everything was standard equipment, ncluding A/C, tilt steering column, ruise control, nd an AM/FM/cassette stereo, nd this car gets special 442 badging on the door panels, oo. As you can see in the photos, he interior is extremely well preserved and that's no illusion; the seats look almost new, he carpets are excellent, nd the door panels haven't been cooked by the sun so they look fantastic. The T-top seals are still supple so it seals up well and the open-air experience of this car makes for an incredible drive. There's also a sizeable trunk with what appears to be the original space-saver spare.Oldsmobile's bulletproof 307 cubic inch V8 provides power and its main calling card is smooth torque at any speed. Nicely maintained but never modified or raced, he engine is just barely broken in at this mileage and runs quite well. There are more than a few upgrades for these engines, ut the wise owner has decided to leave it as the factory intended, o reliability and easy service is assured. It's extremely clean under the hood, nd even things like the original air intake hose is still in place and all the coolant bottles are clear, ot yellowed by age and heat. A 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission makes it a superlative highway cruiser, nd the front suspension has been recently rebuilt, o it rides and handles like a new car. And as always, he Oldsmobile Rally II wheels look fantastic in gold, nd are protected by a set of BFGoodrich T/A radials.If this is the missing piece in your Oldsmobile collection, t's an awesome example. Or if you're just looking for an interested old car that's very roadworthy and affordable, his 2-owner 442 will always draw appreciative glances. Call today!
