Rarest Olds 442

[John]

What year had the least amount of 442 Olds cars?
..What was the rarest of the 442 cars?

--------John,,, Absolutely,,,hands down,,,1964 442s were the rarest of all the 442s. They are so hard to find in good original condition today that they seem almost non-existent!!!.......Bill S

If it's simply the rarest 442 your wondering about, they even made a handful of real '64 442 4 Dr. cars!.
I don't know what production was but seem to recall it was something like 10 or so...I have no idea if any genuine ones survived?.

There were 10 4-doors - I think it's 3 and 7 of probably F85 and Cutlass, or something like that.

But I am not sure the '64s are the rarest. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the latter-day ones are the rarest, but right now I'm putting my money on the '64.

how many 1965 442 2door, post cars were built?

[TN2Lane]

1965 Post 442 production:

1087 F85's
5713 Cutlasses

That's from the Olds FAQ; not sure what the original source was.

...so is a 442 a F85......or a cutlass?

I had a 1964 convertible for sale a couple of years ago. Really cool car. It had a 455 but I also had the original engine. Wish I still had it today!

I don't know if the link will work so I attached a couple of photos that show the car and the Documentation.

I hope this helps.

I HATE older 442s with those SSII wheels. . . doesn't look right.
