That Cutlass is a dream. If there's a car for auto auction rebuild. This is it.... Don't worry about the money this is Auto Auction Rebuilds. You'll make it on the back end. Easily.
Seems like a cool car to purchase, I used to own a 73 Hurst Olds that was black with gold stripes. The price of this 442 is worth it, if you were planning on restoring it then it's not too much to pay. These cars are famous for rear window leaks so removal of the top is imperative and re-sealing the rear windows to prevent future damage.
Swivel buckets were an option. They came with "regular" buckets seats as well. The 442 was mostly a trim package by 73, but they're not too common. Rust in the hind end is the biggest value factor on that one I would say. The originality is very rare.
My wife is just like yours only even better. The most wonderful person in the universe. You're damn right Randy, you got a good one. Welcome to the club!
I always liked the colonnade body style cars from GM. The Buicks are my favorite. Like the swivel seats too. Thanks for braving the cold Randy! I'm up in Montreal for a couple of more months. The weather here is pretty much like yours. Finally got above freezing yesterday. More snow on the way. Returning to Wichita at the beginning of the year. Stay warm!
I had a 1973 Olds 442 with the 455 motor and the Muncie 4 speed. It caught on fire in my garage one night and burnt the engine compartment and melted the dash board to the floor. It was grass green with a white pinstripe. I loved that car. I also had a 1968 442 and a 1972 442 with the hood scoop ram air, a beautiful car. Now I have an Alpha Remeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio with 505 horse power. Again, I love it.
The biggest concern on "Colonnade" GM coupes is that rear area below the rear window, very notorious for being a haven for rust to develop. Get a car with minimal rust in that area and it's worthy of preserving. I'm sure a '73 442 is a rare beast and $5500 is well under the going rate for what is seemingly a complete and solid car. The condition of the front and rear bumpers(that plastic insert behind the front bumper is pretty much unobtainable) and front grille alone make this car worth buying. Of course restoring one is probably best if you're a fan of the body style because dropping $25-30K into one won't yield dividends on the investment, but having a really nice, well done Colonnade coupe in a desirable configuration for around $30-40K overall isn't so bad considering what everything cost these days. Eventually(due to inflation) it'll be worth $30-40K and in the mean time you'll have a nice car to drive, show and enjoy.
Those 442's are starting to come up in value. The Colonnade olds, buicks etc... i think are beautiful cars. Perfect candidate for a LS swap !! Street sleeper !!
@@madmex2k I had a '72 convertible with the 455 and the TH400. Swapped in a Isky cam, double-roller timing chain and gears and an HEI from a 80s olds. I also swapped out the steering box from an 80s Camaro (quicker turning) and control arms from the same Camaro (changed the angle of roll). That boat could pull .92 on the skid-pad and pull 12 second quarters on street tires and pump gas with the AC running all day!
That's a good woman Randy!!!! You're a lucky man! LOVE the 442! What great content that would be. On the Top Kick, the red switch on the shifter is for the 2 speed rear. The other lever's may be for a dump bed. That's the PTO and engagement lever. And talk about dedication to your fans with it being that cold. Huge thumbs up!
If it’s got a DOT number on it depending on the area you may need a CDL also if it has airbrakes you will need a CDL with airbrakes but you can make a nice tow truck out of that Topkick just have it not for hire
*the infinity is nice as for the boat, wells cargo is a trailer manufacturer, wasn't aware they made boats too. Regarding the top kick, it varies state to state but like in TN and GA if it doesn't have dual rear axles you don't have to have a CDL to drive it. the red button on the shifter is for high and low range gears so that 5 speed would actually be a 10 speed because 5 speed in low range, 5 more speeds in high but you wouldn't drive it that way, you get up to cruising speed with a load on and then pull up the button on the shifter to drop the idle down and just drive then when you stop to take off and for the first couple gears you would start off in low range again. The big red button in the middle is a PTO for probably a dump bed. More than likely the starter isn't fried. as cold as it is out there it won't stay running because the fuel in a diesel gells up when it gets too cold. that's more than likely what's going on and why it wouldn't stay running. that's usually also why diesel truck drivers leave their trucks running frequently. Vermeer is usually a tree service equipment company. the tree service i worked for in Knoxville 20 years ago had a vermeer stump grinder and wood chipper both. and that truck you may actually have to have a CDL to drive that's not a "generator" on the back either that engine is a pump to run and spray out whatever the truck is used to pump out i believe it's for spreading fertilizers or weed killer*
I had a 73cutlass s in the mid 80s one of the best cars iv had. Same body style as442. Swivel bucket seats consol automatic on floor dual exhaust. Keystone classic rims. Brown metallic with tan interior and vinale top. Wish I still had that one. Never gave me one problem.
My first new car was a 73 Olds 442 just like this but brown. Absolutely loved the car. Sadly it turned into a rust bucket in less than two years and was a Florida car. The days of 12K miles/12 month warranty. No rust coverage. I would love to find another some day and relive my youth.
Randy, Cobalt is definitely the Cadillac of boats! on the other boat, it may have just been in gear, that's why the prop wouldn't turn. love seeing the boats on your walk arounds! keep it up.
I used to drive one of those Top Kicks. The red knob on the shifter is for the two speed rear end which means it's a ten speed. The red knob by the PTO lever is probably there to engage the PTO. I don't think it has air brakes as I didn't hear a low air alarm when you started it.
I hope someone buys the 442 and restores it to stock. You can tell it was a beautiful car when new, with a great color combination. I really do not care for the boats. But the larger trucks and campers are a nice change. Have a great weekend! Stay warm!
Bought a 1987 Cutlass 442 off the showroom floor & traded it for a new 87, 350, I Roc Z, 3 months later ! Cool vid Randy & its a hurst 4 speed on the 73, 442 . Salute to you brother 👊 Stay warm
@@just4kicks950 That is not true. Oldsmobile always made automatic 442s. The middle 4 can also mean turbo 400 transmission. This car is a Cutlass S with a 442 package.
@@mexicanspec it is a automatic 4 speed auto & mine had the Hurst with the 3 gear levers. No body said it was a standard ! You never heard of a 4 speed auto?🤔
I love that 73 olds. I had one as my first car and have kicked myself for years selling it when I joined the Army. Almost the same but mine was yellow with black stripes. Different hood, I had an aftermarket on mine. Small scoop.
1973 Oldsmobile reminded me of my dad's 1973 Buick Gran sport. I'm working my ass off to find another one and afford to buy it. Buy that one Randy because it's really rare for a 73 model. Most were crushed of the ones that were produced in very small numbers given the 73 oil embargo.
on the trans shifter the red switch is a 2 speed rear end . other red knob with lever is a power take off and the lever raises or lowers the bed.if it has air brakes you need a CDL. I was a CDL holder for many years. Glen Doran Glasgow,Mt
I had a 65 442 in high school that was in 1974 I went to the Army and trade it in. I bought A new Marty Carlo. I regret not keeping my 442 everyday of my life....
On the shifter the red knob is the 2speed for the rear end. Red pull knob to the right is the PTO engagement then other one is to raise and lower bed hoist
We had a Cobalt ski boat in the 80’s when I was a kid. Really nice boat, I’m pretty sure it had a Chevy under the hood too. That would clean up really nicely.
That red button on the gear stick is the 2 speed axle,it has a low and high ,so actually its a 10 speed instead of a 5,I had a topkick for years we hauled logs on.The cat engine in it is a 3116,6cyl turbo
I owned a '73 Old Cutlass Supreme 2dr purchased in '78, it was moss green w/camel vinyl interior w/cream half landau vinyl top, AC and AM/FM 8-track stereo. I blacked out the grill which gave it a sportier appearance. Would be nice to own it today.
The red switch on the shifter is high and low range and the pto is the big round red one . Pull it up with clutch in then let it out the handle is for whatever the pto runs
Randy, that seat option found on some GM cars of that time where called "swiveling Strato bucket seats'! I had that same option on my first car in high school in the mid 80's on my 1973 Lemans sport coupe GT
Back in the day most people I knew hated the new style of the '73 Cutlass and beyond. Olds seemed to be heading for more luxury; same with the '73 Malibu, Lemans and similar. I remember the '79-81 Malibu was a smaller size and made neat hot rods. Only nowadays the bigger '70's cars are more appreciated like that one. We always called boats like a '71 -'76 Impala Grandma's car; Look at the popularity of them now! I have seen some neat restored '73 rides in the last few years; Hard to believe I owned 2 that I drove into the ground. The 1st was a '73 Malibu rust bucket that ran well for $50. After 2 years with that I got a '70 Cutlass Supreme for $500 in 1990. I kept that until 2003 when the frame rusted thru. I also got a '74 Chevelle with 16K original miles from an old lady for $1600 in 1991. I drove that as my DD and the Cutlass was my toy. The '74 got hit a few times and the trans blew in '97 with 90K on it so I sold the motor for $400.
That 1973 442 reminded me of the '75 Cutlass S I drove in my early 20's in the early 90's. My dad worked at a Olds dealer so my first cars were Olds. It was a coupe with the front seats like that one did. Mine had a little lever on the side of the that you had to depress to unlock it so it would rotate. It was really nice when passengers had to ride in the back seat. That "Rocket 350" was designated by GM as the 350-R motor. It was the only GM 350 that came with hydraulic lifters in it. The engines and transmissions (a TH350 or TH400) were bullet-proof unless you did something stupid with them. This '73 is merely a shadow of what the 442 (which stood for 400 c.i.d. engine, four speed manual transmission and dual exhaust) start out as in 1964. I would buy this car in a heartbeat and restore it to showroom condition. My favorite years of the 442 were '66, '68 and '72. And no, that is not a Hurst shifter that is just the standard shifter. To get that, you had to order the Hurst package which most came white with gold stripping.
I was more interested in the Mazda r8 then I was the 442 and I thought the q50 looked better without the white strip. I notice the bmw as you was getting back into your truck anyway RESPECT for getting out in the cold to do these videos
The international with the vermeer on the back is a mixing setup for things like directional boring. You mix powders with water to aid in the drilling process.
That's it, it is a mud mixer for a horizontal directional drilling outfit. For you boomers, many RV parks might not let you park a trailer that old for too long. They are getting picky and only allow the newer rigs., The Cutlass, It's a 73. Would be considered a dog a few years, ago, but might be worth fixing up if you can finds parts. Would cost way more than it's worth
Are You Really That Fucked Up /// That Colbolt Is A 2002 Registration.. Really Man You Not Even Looking, But You Sure Talk A Lot, & The More You Talk ,, Well You Keep Going...
Randy, you in fact need a CDL to drive a semi, or any truck over 26000 pounds. And most big trucks have jake brakes, which helps slow you down. Also would love you to show and try to fire up that garbage truck, I absolutely love garbage trucks!
On the GMC Top Kick. The red knob on the shifter is a 2speed rear axle. The Large Red knob is the PTO (power -take-off) the black lever next to it is to raise and lower the bed. I'm a retired truck driver with 40 + years. The federal requirement specifies that, when a vehicle has a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less, the operator does not need a CDL license. ... For example, a truck with a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less can tow a trailer with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less and not require the operator to have a CDL under federal requirements.
The truck with the Vermeer is set up for directional drilling the tank is for the drilling mud and the little diesel is for operating the drill and the pumps for the mud. Might make money on this tank and the Duetz diesel
I use to have a 75 cobalt.. it was built like a tank for being fiberglass.. but still had a few soft spots in the floor.. one thing to look at is that.. but you have to get up in it and walk around.. and the fuel tank under the floor can be a huge pane in the butt to fix if its old and leaks.. involves cutting the floor out to remove the tank, that one looked to have a access to it tho.. looked like there was a trailer there with no boat.. might fit it.. had a ford 351 engine, the inboard outboard drives need to be checked for water in the gearcase.. can cost a few grand to fix or replace.. and that is not a generator on the international.. its a hydraulic pump, I would not be trying to start equipment when I don't know what it is, or if it still has fluid in it or etc.. could damage it.. just sayin! enjoy the vids, thanks for sharing
I've had 2 cars stolen and my house broken into and had to umm fire a couple shots in some thiefs general directions (not at) cause I caught a them in the act. I agree Randy I dislike thiefs and violent crime criminals. Not the criminal that had a little bit of weed on them cause the wanted to relax and got caught with it lol. Enjoy every video you do Randy thank you!
Does telling us about the hat and gloves prove who has the brains in the family? Got ya! LOL! You better say yes and be the hero in the family! If you say no you are in the dog house! LOL! Yes you have an excellent woman! I have noticed how you work so hard and we know it is all for her now! She deserves it!
The Cobalt boat, the scratches on both sides are from a careless forklift driver who doesn’t move the forks out the way before he backs out, after placing the boat on blocks. Hey buy the International the generator is a mini tractor motor, you could a ditch witch and do swap. I haven’t see one yet, also get rid of all the pumps on the back put some ramps on it and haul some cars that you win.
The name of the car is 4-4-2, not four forty two. That is because it means 4 barrel 4 speed dual exhaust. The middle four can also mean turbo 400 transmission if it is an automatic. Unfortunately the 1973 model is not on anybody's radar. Dealers get an old car and put a high price on it now and think people will pay up. I don't think it will happen on this one considering all the work it needs. Also, you didn't even mention the ultra rare factory Am/FM CB radio. That was cool to see one after all these years.
I believe that is a Panasonic CB Radio. And its actually 4bbl carb and 4sp trans and dual exhaust. And it doesn't mean anything else but that. I currently own a '73 442 and it is nothing like that one at the sublot
@@palletwizard The radio had the original GM knobs, so I doubt it was an aftermarket radio. if you want to believe what you said here, fine. I know what 442 means.
Look a little closer. It did have the original factory inlay with the knobs But it was a Panasonic. We can ask Randy. That is if he bought the car. I checked out the Copart listing and i saw aftermarket CB. And that is a K-40 antenna if you knew what you are talking about.....
@@10inchbuffer It's debatable. Some say: 400 4 speed Dual exhaust. But they made automatics. Carburetor is in the mix... Probably carburetor, 4 speed, dual exhaust

After 2 years with that I got a '70 Cutlass Supreme for $500 in 1990. I kept that until 2003 when the frame rusted thru. I also got a '74 Chevelle with 16K original miles from an old lady for $1600 in 1991. I drove that as my DD and the Cutlass was my toy. The '74 got hit a few times and the trans blew in '97 with 90K on it so I sold the motor for $400.
I HAD A 73 CUTLASS SUPREME... I MISS THAT CAR SO BAD.
The red knob on the shifter on the topkick is high and low range for the two speed rear axle.
That 1973 442 reminded me of the '75 Cutlass S I drove in my early 20's in the early 90's. My dad worked at a Olds dealer so my first cars were Olds. It was a coupe with the front seats like that one did. Mine had a little lever on the side of the that you had to depress to unlock it so it would rotate. It was really nice when passengers had to ride in the back seat. That "Rocket 350" was designated by GM as the 350-R motor. It was the only GM 350 that came with hydraulic lifters in it. The engines and transmissions (a TH350 or TH400) were bullet-proof unless you did something stupid with them. This '73 is merely a shadow of what the 442 (which stood for 400 c.i.d. engine, four speed manual transmission and dual exhaust) start out as in 1964. I would buy this car in a heartbeat and restore it to showroom condition. My favorite years of the 442 were '66, '68 and '72. And no, that is not a Hurst shifter that is just the standard shifter. To get that, you had to order the Hurst package which most came white with gold stripping.
442= 4 speed, 4 barrel, dual exhaust. My 71 came with a 455 cu.in. engine
I was more interested in the Mazda r8 then I was the 442 and I thought the q50 looked better without the white strip. I notice the bmw as you was getting back into your truck anyway RESPECT for getting out in the cold to do these videos
Just got one yesterday, can't wait to clean her up.
That 442 needs to be saved Randy, it even has a factory cb radio,swivel buckets, air,rally wheels. Would'nt take too much to bring it back.
This was my first car!!!! Same color! Geat price, get on it man there getting real high now!!!!
A very nice restoreable Olds. I like the factory CB radio.
Check out one of the semis with a sleeper next time 😉. Also Jessica was so awesome to get you some gloves and a hat for the cold. Lucky man.
Sweet old car built to last along time alot better than todays cars get it if u can
20:02 in the video, tag says 2002 “it’s also tagged for 2020” 😂
You need to get that 442, the 73s are getting popular. Gotta love those swing out seats.
swivel seats
20:03 the boats tagged for 2002 not 2020 😂😂
Joseph Hanson 😂😂😂😂 I thought I was the only one that saw it! It’s the cold weather... it can make you see things
Yea
@@randomcarguy1018 Give him a break his brain is frozen
Damn randy
Joseph Hanson you are right!!!!!!!
The international with the vermeer on the back is a mixing setup for things like directional boring. You mix powders with water to aid in the drilling process.
That's it, it is a mud mixer for a horizontal directional drilling outfit.
For you boomers, many RV parks might not let you park a trailer that old for too long. They are getting picky and only allow the newer rigs.,
The Cutlass, It's a 73. Would be considered a dog a few years, ago, but might be worth fixing up if you can finds parts. Would cost way more than it's worth
snap it up,there isn't a lot of love for the 73 and up cutlasses but i personally think they are great and you don't see too many of them.
THE SEATS ARE CALLED SWIVEL BUCKET SEATS...
Correct! I was like "swing away"? WTF
Are You Really That Fucked Up /// That Colbolt Is A 2002 Registration.. Really Man You Not Even Looking, But You Sure Talk A Lot, & The More You Talk ,, Well You Keep Going...
@@donaldleavy4379 WE TALKING ABOUT THE CUTLASS. DUMBASS.
Randy thanks for braving the cold for us. I think the Boxster would be more interesting than the trailer.
I had a 71 442 great car drove like a dream!! If I had an extra five grand I'd buy this car!!
Randy, you in fact need a CDL to drive a semi, or any truck over 26000 pounds. And most big trucks have jake brakes, which helps slow you down. Also would love you to show and try to fire up that garbage truck, I absolutely love garbage trucks!
On the GMC Top Kick. The red knob on the shifter is a 2speed rear axle. The Large Red knob is the PTO (power -take-off) the black lever next to it is to raise and lower the bed. I'm a retired truck driver with 40 + years. The federal requirement specifies that, when a vehicle has a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less, the operator does not need a CDL license. ... For example, a truck with a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less can tow a trailer with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less and not require the operator to have a CDL under federal requirements.
The truck with the Vermeer is set up for directional drilling the tank is for the drilling mud and the little diesel is for operating the drill and the pumps for the mud. Might make money on this tank and the Duetz diesel
You and I would have gone into a bidding war over that Cutlass. BIG shout out to your wife for hooking you up like that!!!!!!!!
My aunt had that same exact 442 Cutlass , same color and everything! Front seats swivel!
That 442 is nice. Would be a great project.
much more entertainting seeing a new range of vehicles/ toys.
The red button on the shifter is for the 2 speed rear end. The other red knob to the right is the PTO. The other lever is to raise the bed.
I use to have a 75 cobalt.. it was built like a tank for being fiberglass.. but still had a few soft spots in the floor.. one thing to look at is that.. but you have to get up in it and walk around.. and the fuel tank under the floor can be a huge pane in the butt to fix if its old and leaks.. involves cutting the floor out to remove the tank, that one looked to have a access to it tho.. looked like there was a trailer there with no boat.. might fit it.. had a ford 351 engine, the inboard outboard drives need to be checked for water in the gearcase.. can cost a few grand to fix or replace..
and that is not a generator on the international.. its a hydraulic pump, I would not be trying to start equipment when I don't know what it is, or if it still has fluid in it or etc.. could damage it.. just sayin! enjoy the vids, thanks for sharing
I've had 2 cars stolen and my house broken into and had to umm fire a couple shots in some thiefs general directions (not at) cause I caught a them in the act. I agree Randy I dislike thiefs and violent crime criminals. Not the criminal that had a little bit of weed on them cause the wanted to relax and got caught with it lol. Enjoy every video you do Randy thank you!
Does telling us about the hat and gloves prove who has the brains in the family? Got ya! LOL! You better say yes and be the hero in the family! If you say no you are in the dog house! LOL! Yes you have an excellent woman! I have noticed how you work so hard and we know it is all for her now! She deserves it!
The Cobalt boat, the scratches on both sides are from a careless forklift driver who doesn’t move the forks out the way before he backs out, after placing the boat on blocks.
Hey buy the International the generator is a mini tractor motor, you could a ditch witch and do swap. I haven’t see one yet, also get rid of all the pumps on the back put some ramps on it and haul some cars that you win.
You should buy that 442. Great cars. Had a 1971 cutlass supreme. Loved that car.
those buckets swivel
You should definitely get the cutlass, it would make really good content keep it up
no one builds them like that anymore! - Olds 442!!
Copart must love you u basically promote them every week
My late Uncle had a similar Oldsmobile Cutlass with the swivel seats in the 1980s.
Love the 442 . 👍🏿
Great job with the hat and gloves Jessica.
Vermeer. On the international truck. They make agricultural equipment in Pella Iowa. Probably liquid fertilizer applicator is my guess
Mark Hoffman navigator on the power unit is normally for the boring machine (directional drilling )
Q50 Is beautiful! I want a red sport for my next car.
The name of the car is 4-4-2, not four forty two. That is because it means 4 barrel 4 speed dual exhaust. The middle four can also mean turbo 400 transmission if it is an automatic. Unfortunately the 1973 model is not on anybody's radar. Dealers get an old car and put a high price on it now and think people will pay up. I don't think it will happen on this one considering all the work it needs.
Also, you didn't even mention the ultra rare factory Am/FM CB radio. That was cool to see one after all these years.
I believe that is a Panasonic CB Radio. And its actually 4bbl carb and 4sp trans and dual exhaust. And it doesn't mean anything else but that. I currently own a '73 442 and it is nothing like that one at the sublot
@@palletwizard The radio had the original GM knobs, so I doubt it was an aftermarket radio. if you want to believe what you said here, fine. I know what 442 means.
Look a little closer. It did have the original factory inlay with the knobs
But it was a Panasonic. We can ask Randy. That is if he bought the car. I checked out the Copart listing and i saw aftermarket CB. And that is a K-40 antenna if you knew what you are talking about.....
Buddy of mine had a 442 Olds Cutlass just about like that, back in the day. Use to say it would pass anything on the road except a gas station.
Four-four-two*
No forty.. lol. Nice looking car
You got it!
442 he says it right. Do you know what it stands for
@@10inchbuffer It's debatable. Some say:
400
4 speed
Dual exhaust.
But they made automatics.
Carburetor is in the mix...
Probably carburetor, 4 speed, dual exhaust
I actually drove a numbers matching with an automatic
@@10inchbuffer he doesn't say it right. Look it up.
It had hyphens between the numbers originally
