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.
