Description:
1968 Oldsmobile 442 442
1968 Numbers Matching 442Forget the clone wars and go with the Original Legend! There is a reason that people make Clones- they are trying to copy a very rare automobile, because there were only 3500 or so of these produced in 1968 so the chance of finding a real one in this good of condition is extremely rarePeople know the difference, and at car shows they glance at the VIN... Looking for that 34467 prefix. when you have that- you get a thumbs up from anyone who knows anything about great muscle cars.I have owned this car for 22 years- I bought it from 2nd ownerOverall good shape as the pictures show. You could take it to a car show in its current condition, or use it as a beginning of a numbers matching dream car project.If you know Oldsmobiles, this is a Lansing built 34467 442 it is a 400 CID olds with a THM 400 transmissionPower steering, power brakes power top Crank windowsBe aware that you are buying the car from a true Oldsmobilac and having owned this car for so long, I can answer pretty much anything about the car.- Ask questions via the ebay app and I will reply ASAP!this car has been painted, the original color was Provincial white- but a lot of bad things happened in the 80's including someone painting this car red its been since put back to its original color but there are signs of the red if you look carefully.The power top works there are no ripsThere are a few rips in the upholstery seen in the pictures- just from getting brittle over 50 years, small leak from the transmission output shaft
Notable notesCar does not have AC, does not have tic tach tocCar Does have original lockheed 4 piston power disc brakes- which was a more expensive option in 1968 than the above mentioned 2 combined
Car is basically rust free but there are a few repairs (again the 80's) and I can send as many pictures as you would like of underneath, engine, trunk whatever you want to see
You are bidding on a 49 year old car- Id say that its old, but its the same year as my wife- so it cant be old. But with anything this age you must be aware of what you are buying. Car is in driving condition and if you are in Michigan or neighboring states you could drive it home Further than that you would want to arrange transport.
I STRONGLY recommend that you inspect the car in person or send an appraiser so that you know what you are getting. this is an awesome car, but its a 1968 and drips, dings, and things happen- i just keep a tray under it in the garage.Speaking of that- this car is stored in a temperature controlled air conditioned garage. 68 in winter and 75 in summer never humid or hot or coldnever winter driven at least not in the last 22 yearsPlease contact me via the Ebay app to arrange a inspection.
LastlySerious bidders only please, this isn't my first car sale on Ebay, I am a 100% satisfaction rated seller and I want to keep it that way, that means that you need to be happy in the end with what you bought, and I need to be happy selling it to you.We can do cashiers check from a national bank, or a wire transfer, in either case neither the title nor the vehicle will not leave my possession until funds are cleared. I put a reasonable 500 dollar immediate deposit required just be sure that you want the car before you bid on it.The car has a clean green Michigan title ready for a new home.
Thanks- Happy bidding
