For Sale: 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This 1968 Oldsmobile 442 showcases a sleek Ebony Black exterior that amplifies its muscular profile. The glossy paint job highlights the car's iconic lines, from its aggressive front grille to the sculpted rear end. Chrome accents, including wheel lip moldings and dual mirrors, add a touch of class to this performance machine. Rolling on 14-inch steel Oldsmobile wheels wrapped in meaty 245/60R14 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, this 442 has a purposeful stance that demands respect on the street.

Inside, the Garnet vinyl interior showcases the golden age of muscle cars. Bucket seats up front and a bench in the rear provide comfortable seating for cruising. The factory console houses the floor-mounted shifter, while the tilt steering column offers adjustability for the driver. A push-button AM radio with an 8-track player keeps the tunes flowing, complemented by additional speakers in the kick panels and package tray for improved sound. The dash pad and headliner remain in good condition, maintaining the cabin's classic appeal. Air conditioning and power steering ensure a comfortable driving experience, even on hot summer days.

The numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8 engine, rebuilt in 2018, delivers enhanced performance and reliability. An Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake manifold optimize airflow, while long-tube headers feed into a dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers for that signature muscle car sound. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission delivers efficient shifts, sending power to the 12-bolt rear end. Power drum brakes provide ample stopping power, rounding out this 442's blend of raw power and manageable driving dynamics.
