In 1970, Oldsmobile produced what would be the ultimate iteration of the 442 model. The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible model received revised bodywork, including vertical grille bars and quad vertical taillights, that let onlookers know they were facing down Oldsmobile’s newest and best.

The exterior sports a number of desirable aesthetic features, including Matador Red paint, a highly desirable Outside Air Induction hood, belt-line and hood stripes, rear wing and dual sport mirrors. A set of factory color-matched Super Stock II wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires complete the muscle car look. The Parchment interior of this four-speed manual transmission-equipped car features white bucket seats, Rallye Steering Wheel option, tilt steering column, a console, upgraded Kenwood radio, and factory rallye clock. This 442 is further equipped with a power top, power steering, dual exhaust with Thrush mufflers, rear sway bar with factory boxed trailing arms and power front disc brakes.

In response to new 1970 regulations, Oldsmobile made their mighty 455-cubic-inch V-8 standard while keeping their excellent Muncie four-speed manual transmission as an option, as this car has. This gargantuan 455 cubic inch engine is full of horsepower and torque, and remains stock in appearance, right down to its correct blue engine color and functional Outside Air Induction air cleaner.
