I bought this 1975 cutlass salon s 442 a few weeks ago and I am trying to figure out for sure if its a 442 and what engine it for surely has. Its the w-25 model and I just would like to no if it was the true 442 or not. Also its not perfect but if what is the fair price value roughly.

Some pictures would help... the H/O for 75 were decaled with W25 or W30. W30 was the 455 while the w25 the 350 engine. Value is always what someone will pay and its too late for that as you are already past that point.

Picts are there but pretty small. Looks legit with paint scheme and badgeing but cant see if fenders have the 442 badge. Exhaust looks funky oversized and it would have single exhaust from the factory with the catalytic converter.

It appears to be a 75 442, not a Salon or S. The 442 is built on the Cutlass S body style. Are you calling it a W-25 because it has a 350 engine? A 442 would be a W-29. The 75 Hurst Olds had the W-25 and the W-30 designations.
Nice looking car.

I thought that's what I read on the door but I might have recalled differently it was w-20 something and I know for a fact it is the Hurst olds I have more picture of the interior. I was just making sure that I wasn't getting screwed or anything on a look a like 442. I also was wondering if any one new where I could get an original olds radio it is missing it and would like to make it as original as possible. Also if you were looking to buy this car how much would you pay? I am just wondering if what I paid was worth it thanks for all the info.

Are you saying you know for a fact that the car pictured is a Hurst Olds? I'm a little confused, your car is NOT a Hurst Olds. The H/O was built on the other Cutlass body style in 1975, not the Cutlass "S"/442 body.

Finding out if it's a true 442 can only be varified by window sticker, build sheet, etc., actual documents showing W29 option. Looks like a 442 but side stripes appear incorrect. And original striping were decals. VIN will identify the engine it came with.

Probably can find a radio by searching EBay. Nice looking car but as others said, it's not a Hurst/Olds.

Are you still in posession of this vehicle?

The radio was stolen out of it from my back yard.
