--------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

Re: Rarest Olds 442
 

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? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

1965 Post 442 production:

1087 F85's
5713 Cutlasses

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

Re: Rarest Olds 442
 

I think that they can be either??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Rarest Olds 442
 

Can be either. F85 and Cutlass were trim levels with F85 being the base and Cutlass the upgrade. The 442 was an option package that could be ordered on any 2 door F85 or Cutlass and included the bigger engine, suspension, and badging.

This only goes for 65-67; other years the rules were different. Read all about it- http://oldsjunction.classicoldsmobil...sfaq/of442.htm

Wasn't the F85 a lighter car......
