Man, this is rich for me BUT it is a pretty cool looking car. Like the interior. I didn't even know they made these - I thought the 442's were those funky offbeat fastbacks, and even then I can only remember seeing one of them in red and white in the metal back in Lebanon, PA back in the day. There can't be many survivors. https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/d/1980-oldsmobile-k-miles-exc-cond/6939987985.html
When the GM intermediates were downsized in 1978, Olds sold the 442 as an appearance and handling package option on the aero back Cutlass Salon coupe. The ‘79 was essentially the same. It could be optioned with an Olds 260 V-8, or a Chevy sourced 305. The top dog was the Hurst Olds based on the Cutlass Supreme formal coupe. The H/O was the only GM intermediate available with a 350 V-8 and was available in 78 and 79 in either white and gold, or black and gold. The poor selling 442 aero back coupe was discontinued for 1980 and the 442 badging essentially replaced the Hurst Olds. It was available with the 350 and also offered in either white and gold or black and gold. In addition to the 442 badging, the 1980 can be identified by its quad headlights vs the dual headlights of the 78-79 H/O. The 442 would be discontinued after 1980 and would not reappear as an intermediate until the last rear drive 1985-87 models equipped with an Olds 307. A Hurst Olds made a brief return for 1983-84 with a unique “lightning rod” automatic with three shift levers.
