1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Holiday Hardtop

This 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Holiday hardtop is powered by its numbers-matching 400ci V8 paired with a two-speed automatic transmission. Chrome wheel covers with Oldsmobile-branded centers and faux knockoffs are mounted on 14? steel wheels fitted with Hankook whitewall tires. The interior features black vinyl upholstery (950) with color-coordinated door panels, carpeting, and trim. An Oldsmobile-branded AM radio is retained beneath a tri-color 442 logo on the dashboard, and a full-length center console houses the shifter, which displays noted corrosion within the gear-selector window. Instrumentation includes a horizontal 120-mph speedometer along with a console-mounted 6k-rpm tachometer. The windshield washer is inoperative. The 400ci L78 V8 was factory rated to produce 345 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque when new, and it is mated to a Special-Duty Jetaway two-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end equipped with 3. 23:1 gearing. A start-up demonstration is viewable in the video above. The stamping on the engine-block pad reads V013303, which matches the sequence listed on the included sales invoice.
