What cam

Went to his shop in the 80s ......he sat and talked cars with me like a old friend... Glad to have met him...a true automotive legend 😁

My Favorite track. We broke a few parts here. Thanks for sharing

Great video.

I built a red one just like this in ‘91., 455 steel crank, Comp Cams 292H, Mondello heads, Hooker headers, Performer with modified Rochester, T-400, 3:42 rear. Ran 12.0 thru the mufflers on street tires. I got stupid and sold it. Enjoy, my friend. Few know the thrill . . . and painted my valve covers too, for the “Whuuuuu? Factor😎

Mondello the man and the 442 the car . American legends. I'm an Oldsmobile guy. Great video!!! Beware fast and furious cars.

had a W30 when I was like 21-27 yrs old, paid $685.00 for it, napa salesman round oh 1980? Napa on Lake City way, dood if you read this, it was such a good car thanks for the deal, I gave it away, I already know, she was mint too

Not a factory 442 and can't be called a 442 with an automatic transmission in it.

Green with envy! This IS your father’s Oldsmobile: Four on the floor, four-barrel carburetor, and dual ( trumpet) exhausts! It speaks for itself. No voice over needed.

Bet you think of the good times with your father every time you look at that beauty. The gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for sharing. My dad worked at an Olds dealer when I was a small boy. I've been a huge fan these 60 odd years later and am looking for the one that has my name on it.

This car is still for sale by me in Florida.😢 I was entertaining it until we got nailed by Idalia. I'm just finishing my 69 up now. Crank/rods and heads just had to go back out because of the storm surge. Luckily that was about the worst of the damage on the car but my home is gutted along with part of my shop now. Toy buying days are done for a moment.

Hammer time!

not easy being green!

Name of that color

I love Olds. I had a gold 70 W-30 4sp in HS in 1978 and it ran a best of 12.61 open headers and slicks on King of the street night @ Green Valley in Fort Worth. It was by far the fastest Streetcar out there that night.

Power just keeps climbing

Awesome Olds. Never will find a sweet olds like this. American muscle classic

I miss my 455 Cutlass :(

BEAUTIFUL!

She's absolutely lovely we are currently restoring a 72 Cutlass convertible with a 442 Hood just because we like that hood. But this one is just a beauty thanks for sharing!

Oh wow she's beautiful! We have a 72 Cutlass convertible. It's a rolling restoration right now but when she's done she'll be beautiful hopefully as nice as yours is!

How much HP

Love it omg it sounds awesome

This this is making me drool 🤤

Thank you for this. I always went to Edgewater but I took my son here once. Had to be 2005 or 2006. It was early in the season and still cold out. It was like going back in time. My brother lives across the street from the eventual owner. We were given some great memorabilia after she sold.

Thank you for not holding back. My first car was a 1972 442 all original. I heard you catch 3rd....lotsa power!

There is nothing like the sound of an oldsmobile engine

My father got me started on big block Oldsmobiles as a kid. Used to cruise Woodward Avenue in the Motor City. Love the sound of the Olds motor and the torque that would twist the front end! Memories!

Good story, the car sounds perfect.

Absolutely beautiful

That 71 is an eye catcher, the body and the grill has an iconic look . The 455 cu in, carburator was a 4 brl quadra jet she was a monster of power, Just get up and go! Especially with that and never forget! the 4 speed tranny, man ,I'm drulling here. 390s gears at the rear end, limited slip possi traction, What a sweet ride, classy, dressy to go out in and fun in the sun. My era had a nice selection of cars back then.

Clearly this car is equipped wit the incorrect trans speedo gear. The speedometer shows 30 mph just going around the corner at idle, and 80mph at 2300 rpm.-----I don't think so.......

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.:-((((

Great Bigblock - Love the Olds

Looked more like a '68 olds hood... And the beet goes on.... Sounds like idle a little high not bad though mine a little ruffer & liked to stall when idle to long but had Edelbrock Torker single plane intake manifold.. What letter heads on this one ?? Looks , Runs , Sounds great I pulled mine off road 4:56:1 locked Posi & 4000 stall converter was a little to wild with manual steering & breaks... To many tickets shifting into 2nd. & 3rd.. running 1/4 mile @ 12:50's @ 104 m.p.h in '67 442 motor is '66 425 c.i. punched 40 over making it a 442 c.i. @ 500+ h.p. also got '67 Cutlass Supreme Ragtop with 330 done with 4-speed and 3:90:1 Posi 400+ h.p. running 13:70's @ 90mph. W-30 automatic grind camshaft and #4 330 heads rework with 455 valves and 403c.i. connecting rods ... Just love the sound of olds they have there own dusty sound...

😝🍺🚬🌪️🚬👍🌪️👉

There’s nothing like that sound of that motor

Nice I'm a driveshaft away from putting my 1970 under its own powers 1st since 2005 road worthy prob by fall

Best cars produced by GM 1965 to 1976 minus the rust

Instead of GM building on their legacy they took a back seat

Mondello was legendary! He knew how to "Rocket" an Olds engine. Thumb up for showing the acceleration.

this is the best oldsmobile w30 video i have seen yet mondelo 455 v8 tums upp

nice!! Sounds great!

Man is getting and shitting, such an under appreciated muscle car

Miss my built 72' and my 70' Cutlass Supremes

God I love this video, I have the same engine in my 1979 Trans AM, 455 Olds, turbo 400 shift kit, 3,500 stall speed and 488 gears. Car's been sitting in my garage for 35 years, no time, no money, had to raise 3 little boys on my own, couldn't waste money on her (TA) while raising them, hopefully some day, engine is in, transmission is in, just needs a bunch of time and money to make her Purr again like back in the day.

I love your factory correct body stance... What a ride Christopher...! Amazing torque...

Should not be idling that fast

God bless music to my ears Thank God I restored mine

I'm a 69 guy i broke up with my 69 and cheated with a 69 ss camaro but i will all ways miss my 442 . ps you're car is flawless.
