1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 - $28,600 in 2020

1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 presented as Lot S152 at Mecum Indianapolis. Oldsmobile’s premiere muscle car of the 1960s, the 442 was a choice upscale muscle car. The 442 started out as a performance package for the 1964 F85 and Cutlass. Starting in 1964, “442” stood for a 4-speed manual, a 4-bbl carburetor, and dual exhausts – all of which were standard.

By 1970 the 442 had Oldsmobile’s big-block 455 V8 which was rated at 365 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The W-30’s advertised horsepower figure was underrated and was over 400hp. The W-30 package included a performance tuned Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor, a high performance cam, and a lightweight free-flow aluminum intake manifold. A set of high-performance cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds completed the picture. The W-30 had enough juice to frighten most drivers when the pedal hit the floor.

The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 is widely considered the best Oldsmobile muscle car ever built. It is also likely the most underappreciated and affordable today.

Automatic transmission. The car appeared at Mecum in 2021 and made $473k.

Steve McQueen's 1968 Ford Mustang GT 'Bullitt' - $3.7m

A beat up, dull green 1968 Ford Mustang GT driven by Steve McQueen in the movie "Bullitt" became the most valuable Ford Mustang ever sold at auction. It went for $3.7m in Kissimmee, Florida in 2020. The vendor was Sean Kiernan, whose late father Robert Kiernan purchased the car for $3,500 in 1974. McQueen tried to buy the car several times with no success. The 10 minute 'Bullitt' chase scene is considered the first and still one of the best 'modern' auto chase scenes. It set the standard for Hollywood car chases for generations.
