Question type: General

I heard a story about the first 300 of the '64 442 were made with an automatic
transmission. Anyone know if this is true??

I don't think you could get an automatic until 1965. There were no options listed on the ID plate in 64.

I have a 64 442 & in 64 the 442 option could be added to F-85s & cutlass hard top, coupe & convertible models & there were even 10 4 door 442s made. They all had high compression 330ci v8 engines built with the police package The "442" was short for & stood for "4" barrel carb "4" speed transmission & "2" exhaust pipes or dual exhaust. No automatics were made I'm aware of. Olds introduced the 400ci engine in 1965 & the 65 "442" name became its own model & then stood for "4" 400ci engine "4" barrel carb & "2" dual exhaust. Automatics transmissions were then available in the 1965 442s.

None of the 64 442's came with an automatic. 4 speed only. There are more fakes out there now than the 2,999 built.

The 64's were all 4 speeds. The 65 could be had with an automatic,3 or 4 speed. One fact few know, that due to a 400 cubic inch engine shortage, some 65 442's came from the factory with a 425.
