Run 10.00 UNDER This Killer 1965 Olds 442 That Is Packing Pump Gas Olds Power

Oldsmobile enthusiasts are a rightfully proud lot. While the brand may have slid under the waves due to crappy corporate decision making at the top ranks of GM, the legacy cars that the company produced during its storied history are still living strong in the hearts and minds of the people that love them. We got this video sent to us by Doug Miller and it shows his 1965 Olds 442 making a run at Sonoma. The car has a 496ci Olds on pump gas making the power and it runs 10.003/133 on this pass. It is always fun to see cars work their way down the track from the business side of the operation and this is no exception. The car is running some nice stuff out back with a factory style four link, air bags inside each of the rear coil springs, some QA1 shocks and a pair of Phoenix slicks to hook it all to the ground.

It looks like the car pulls the front end up at the hit of the throttle and it stays nicely planted through the run. We admire how clean this car is underneath and as you well known, none of our junk is as clean on top as this thing is on the bottom! This video also highlights how cool that today’s variety of small action cameras are. Back in the day, this type of footage would physically not be possible because of the sheer size of the equipment, let alone the cost. Now we can literally see every aspect of how our cars are working from the burnout box to the finish line. Pretty amazing stuff, right?
