Glad to find this site and be part of it! bought 1970 cutlass supreme 442 from Fremont, so I guess it cannot be a w30, just wondering if there are any rare 442s from Fremont. Has duel gate , the fibre glass ram air hood ,trunk scoop, some cool lines and paint. Has proper engine numbers. thanks

 

Welcome to the site.

FYI if you have a 442 you do NOT have a Cutlass or a Cutlass Supreme.

Does your VIN start with 344 or something else?

Many 442s were built in Freemont but no W machines.

Duel gates are for fighting. Dual gates are what Hurst installed in your Olds.

The hood is not ram air. It is outside air induction.

That thing on the trunk is not a scoop it is a spoiler.

Pictures are mandatory. Post away!

 

Welcome, yes we like pictures.

 

sorry for using the wrong terms, vin starts with342 , it has a spoiler, I am trying to post pic now, thank you

 

please bear with me. I posted a pic but am not sure where it is. My car was an estate sale, the owner had passed ,so all I got were a couple of old repair bills.

Welcome. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that VIN means the car is a Cutlass Supreme. If it has 442 emblems, they were added later. A real 1970 442 would have a VIN that started 344....

Is this a Supreme hardtop or convertible? The 1970 442 convertibles used the same body as the Supremes, but the hardtops did not. 442s used the "fastback" Cutlass S body. Supreme hardtops used the new-for-1970 "notchback" body. No 442s were ever built on the notchback body. Also, the factory never installed a wing on either the convertible or the notchback body, so that's been added by a previous owner.

In any case, enjoy it.
