A 1968 Olds 442 Coupe that will Blow You Away—and Everyone Else! The 1968 Oldsmobile 442s are highly sought after classics. but this car is a particularly nice example: · Fully Restored · 455 V-8 · 4-speed Muncie · Original Factory Air Conditioning converted to R134 For those who like to decode VINs. there is attached a picture of the VIN plate. That number is 344878M193055. An Exceptional Example! · Paint and Chrome This Silver 442 has a high-quality respray that looks as new. The silver finish has a deep shine and is nicely accented with black vertical stripes just behind the front wheels. In addition. the car has a wing spoiler that is as dramatic as it is functional. The chrome and stainless is in excellent condition and nicely compliments the paint. And noteworthy. the body and underside of the car appear to be free of rust and corrosion with only normal surface rust on the underside. · Interior The seat upholstery is black vinyl and is in very good condition. The carpeting is black as is the headliner. both look great. The door panels are also in very good condition. · Engine The replacement 455 V-8 was reportedly built at Joe Mondello’s Oldsmobile shop and produced about 500 hp +- that exhausts through coated headers. The power of this engine is apparent as soon as one slips the clutch. · Transmission/Rear End The transmission is a 4-speed Muncie. The rear end has a 12-bolt differential with positraction. There are anti-sway bars to provide better stability at speed. · Comfort and Safety Systems Apart from the ground-pounding acceleration. the most unusual comfort feature is the original factory air conditioning upgraded with a R134 conversion kit. The five Oldsmobile Rally rims are mounted with Red Line tires that have most of their tread left. It is also a car where everything most everything works--horn. lights. wipers. turn signals. About the only components needing attention are the radio which the new owner will probably want to replace with a modern AM/FM/Satellite unit and the backup lights. There are seat belts. front and rear. for added passenger safety. An Exceptional Example of one of the Most Popular Muscle Cars This 442 is an exceptional example of the marque. It has been turned into a barn-burner with the specially-built 455 V-8. Mated to a 4-speed and positraction. this car is one of the real high performing muscle cars of its era. And with factory air you have a car that will do well in judging while being enjoyable driving to and from the shows. If you are aching for a great example of a muscle car. this is one that you have to see.
