A super-clean 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Coupe Tribute with 31,XXX original miles dressed in blue makes for a great muscle car look. As you dig deeper, you're going to see a great vintage style, right down to the automatic transmission. But you'll also spot some nice upgrades, like the built 400 cubic-inch bored .030 of the legendary big V8.

The 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass is already a great looking car. The extra wide headlights and stacked taillights gave these a mature appearance that let them own the road. But this straight-laced classic coupe has a serious wild streak thanks to its upgraded 442 packaging. The hardtop body, and all the correct tri-color 442 badging was the ultimate statement of cool. And the upgrade to Blue later in life was the right call. It's a professional application that respects the upscale trim, and at the same time, it gives this muscle car the appropriate flair.

Inside, the premium black bucket seat interior instantly reminds you of the 442's dual performance and luxury goal. The intricate design and trim on the seats and door panels are the kind of things Olds fans really look for at the car shows. The center console is one of those features that not only adds comfort, but also is an instant prestige symbol, too. The dashboard is one of those great exercises in driver dominance. The big chrome panel houses everything, including the AM radio that's still on display. But while you'll enjoy the vintage look, you'll also love how much this is a driver's machine. The big round gauges have the right supplemental pieces, including upgraded readouts for the oil pressure and water temp and volts meter on the center console. Plus, the side mounted tach is a correct 1965 factory feature that's particularly handy to have with the shifter.

We all love the look of the Oldsmobile motor under the hood. And you'll love being about to tell people that this is a rare era-correct 442-specific 400 cubic-inch block. While that is the kind of history we love in a muscle car, this era is all about power. This monster motor fires up nicely, and it makes a great sound out of the dual exhaust. The automatic transmission gives you full control over the full power and speedy soundtrack. Plus, you have a limited-slip rear end, boxed rear arms, and sway bars front & rear to give you the right driver confidence in this 442 Tribute.

This 1965 Oldsmobile 442 Tribute is in top form and would be a fitting centerpiece of any classic car collection. Inquire today.
