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.
