In a world of muscle car legends, the 1968 Oldsmobile 442 stands
tall as a rare and coveted icon. With its authoritative wide
headlight look combined with the sleek, fastback-like style that
debuted this year, this '68 442 sports coupe is a masterclass in
vintage performance design. Finished in a glistening teal blue
that's sure to stop traffic, this restored beauty rolls on
period-correct 14" wheels wrapped in grippy 225/70R14 BFG tires.
The pillarless hardtop design adds an extra touch of
sophistication, making this particular 442 configuration the rarest
of the 1968 lineup.
Open the door and you're greeted by a refreshed blue vinyl interior
that expertly blends original and restored components. The bench
seat with floor shifter invites you to settle in for an
exhilarating ride, while thoughtful upgrades like the Grant GT
steering wheel, power steering, and vintage air conditioning ensure
both style and comfort. The retro-style radio may be just for
display, but who needs tunes when you've got a symphony of
horsepower ready to roar?
Speaking of power, beneath the hood lies a period-correct 350 cubic
inch V8 Rocket engine, topped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and
breathing through a dual exhaust with glasspack-style mufflers.
Plus, it's paired with a 4-speed manual transmission to deliver a
driving experience that's pure, unadulterated muscle car fun. Front
disc brakes keeps things easy to control, while the 12-bolt Posi
rear end ensures all that power reaches the pavement with
authority.
