1970 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe

Matador Red | 455ci V8 | Factory A/C | Real 442

Offered here is a beautifully preserved and highly original 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe, presented in its factory-correct Matador Red finish over an Ivory bucket seat interior with a white vinyl roof. Documented as a genuine 442 with style code 34487 and a build date of 07B, this example retains its original character and authentic muscle car presence while benefiting from a high-quality cosmetic presentation.

The body is exceptionally straight and rust free, with excellent panel fit, properly aligned grille and lighting components, and tight gaps throughout. The paintwork is finished in its correct Matador Red (Code 75A) and is complemented by the original-style white vinyl roof, white 442 side stripes, and bright chrome and trim that present beautifully.

Power comes from a 455ci V8 featuring block casting 396021F, desirable E-code heads, and a build date of 146. The engine is paired with a TH400 automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear axle fitted with the desirable W27 aluminum rear cover. The car delivers strong performance along with excellent road manners thanks to power steering, power front disc brakes, and factory air conditioning.

Factory Super Stock I wheels are mounted with reproduction Firestone “Sup-R-Belt” redline tires, while dual exhaust outlets terminate through correct chrome tips. The factory rear spoiler completes the unmistakable appearance of Oldsmobile's flagship muscle coupe.

Inside, the Ivory interior (Code 937 B80) remains true to original specification and features bucket seats, center console with floor shifter, 442 rally steering wheel, and a highly detailed factory-style presentation throughout.
