A beautifully restored 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 W-30 is for sale from Henderson Auctions, headed to the block as part of the company’s Collector Motor Series. Finished in Saturn Gold with bold black stripes, this off-frame restored muscle car combines period-correct style with serious performance underneath.
Under the hood, this 442 W-30 pairs a rebuilt 455 cubic-inch V8 with a 350-horsepower M-22 “Rock Crusher” Muncie four-speed manual, sending power through a 10-bolt rear axle fitted with 3.73 Posi-Traction gears. The aluminum intake, dual exhaust and factory-style cold air induction hood give this listing from Henderson Auctions real bite to match its looks.
Exterior presentation is a major highlight of this Henderson Auctions consignment. The Saturn Gold paint and black stripe treatment are set off by Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in Goodyear Polyglas tires, while heavy-duty suspension keeps the stance planted. The fresh off-frame restoration means the sheet metal, trim and brightwork all present the way a top-tier 442 should.
Slide inside and the 442’s saddle leather interior continues the theme, with bucket seats, a center console and a Hurst shifter poised over the four-speed. Woodgrain trim and the factory AM/FM radio round out a cabin that feels every bit as finished as the exterior, another reason this Henderson Auctions offering stands out.
Currently sitting at a high bid of $7,750 with bidding still open, this 442 W-30 (VIN 344871M151712) will cross the block as part of the Henderson Auctions Collector Motor Series at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, set against the backdrop of SRO GT Car Races. It is a rare chance to add a genuinely well-executed muscle car restoration to a collection.
Henderson Auctions Collector Motor Series is open for consignments and bidder registration.
