Details: 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Coupe. ALL NUMBERS MATCHING!

I have owned this 442 since 1986. This car is equipped from the factory with power seat, remote mirror, Rallye stripe, am-fm stereo, sport wheel, power steering, air conditioning and vinyl roof. It was repainted the factory original color Willow Gold in 1988. Body is in really nice condition with no rust. Chrome bumpers have been replated. New vinyl top at time of paint. Car always stored inside. Newer 2.5 inch exhaust with stock outlets.

It is in excellent condition and has a rebuilt numbers matchingTHM400 automatic and rebuilt numbers matching 400 cu in engine (machine work by Sandamp;K Speed Shop of L.I.N.Y.) to stock specs. Car currently has 4:30 ratio rear with posi and 31 spline axles. (have original 3:25 rear complete also) This car has been fully sorted out and runs great. Car currently has 7inch wide Olds steel wheels with F series rubber. Gas shocks at all four corners.

The Olds engines of this period were built to be super reliable using high nickel content engine blocks and pistons and rings were select fit to maximize performance. The 400 cubic inch engine in this Olds is a rebuilt standard bore engine.

Car has also seen some quarter mile dragstrip duty as it has been run in pure stock class producing mid fourteen secound times. Car could be in the high thirteens with a competition torque convertor and headers. ( Best E.T. for a stock 442 tested in 1968 by Car Life Magazine was 15.1 sec, in a quarter mile)

Have build sheet, window sticker and all receipts for this iconic Olds. This car comes with many additional period correct performance parts and would make a great addition to anyones collection or first time collector car purchase.

Analysis: Good Deal, 15.0% below market avg. What's this?
