The 1967 Oldsmobile 442 stands as one of the finest expressions of GM’s A-body muscle car formula. Exclusive to the top-tier Cutlass Supreme that year, the 442 package delivered a more refined and substantial presence than many of its stablemates while hiding genuine stoplight-to-stoplight menace beneath a polished exterior. Oldsmobile’s engineering division had a long tradition of innovation, and the 442’s combination of a high-torque Rocket V8, mandatory heavy-duty suspension, and upscale interior appointments created a driving experience that rewarded both the enthusiast and the everyday driver equally. Numbers-matching examples with factory air conditioning are increasingly rare finds in today’s collector market.

This example presents in an era-correct Midnight Blue Metallic finish with painted pinstripes, professionally applied over panels that were stripped and massaged to better-than-factory condition during a recent restoration. The correct black interior and deep blue exterior create a striking, purposeful combination that suits the 442’s personality perfectly. Under the mirrored hood sits the numbers-matching 400 cubic inch Rocket V8, validated by its correct 442-specific casting number and assembly stamp, producing a factory-rated 350 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque through a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. The correct Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed automatic transmission carries its correct 1967 442 assembly tag, feeding a 12-bolt rear axle with road-friendly gearing.

The chassis remains solid throughout, riding the mandatory heavy-duty suspension with thicker coil springs, reinforced control arms, and rear sway bar that was standard equipment on all 442 models. Factory power steering and power drum brakes are present and correct, while Styled Steel wheels wearing Firestone Wide Oval redlines maintain the proper period appearance. The factory Frigidaire air conditioning system adds a welcome degree of everyday usability that was considered a genuine luxury option in 1967.

Inside, the correct black interior has been well preserved, with fresh carpet protected by 442-branded floor mats, a professionally restored dash, correct AM/FM radio, and a clean optional console with single-gate shifter. The trunk has been fully restored with correct detailing throughout. The sale is accompanied by an impressive documentation package including an original Owner’s Manual, vintage Facts and Features Manual, Wiring Diagram Manual, vintage marketing materials, a period Car and Driver article, a copy of a previous title, and a 442 fender cover — a well-rounded archive for a numbers-matching Olds that deserves serious collector attention.
