Prior to 1970, GM banned the use of certain engine sizes in certain vehicles, which limited its performance potential and created the need for companies like Hurst to produce special-interest, high-performance vehicles. By 1970, this practice stopped and Oldsmobile made the monstrous 455-cubic-inch V-8 with 365 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque the standard engine for the 442. Checking the W-30 option box got customers a 370-horsepower version of the 455, creating one of the fastest, most luxurious, most expensive muscle cars ever. Presented in exceedingly rare code-78 Burgundy Mist paint with a white vinyl top and code-10 Parchment interior, this W-30-equipped 442 is likely one of the most stunning examples ever to roll out of the Lansing, Michigan, plant. Delivered on October 30, 1969 to Don Wheaton, Ltd. in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the car comes with Canadian delivery documents. Heavily optioned, it features forced-air induction, automatic transmission, bucket seats with center console, 3.91:1 gearing (currently using 3.42 gearing), power steering, front disc brakes and both Y60 and Y68 packages. Rolling on Firestone Wide Oval Tires, it’s a remarkably rare opportunity to acquire an extremely well-equipped 442.
