Classic Car Overview
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this rare and highly desirable, 1968 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Holiday Coupe for your consideration. Finished in a bold Scarlet Red exterior over an all-original Black interior, with factory bench seat. This 442 is powered by its numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8, mated to its factory numbers matching TH400 automatic transmission (photos of the engine block, head, transmission, and transmission tag showing matching numbers can be found in our photos). This is a true W-30 optioned vehicle, which was an awesome upgrade on these 442s; including the ram air system, high-lift camshaft, W30 cylinder heads with larger valves and better flow, Rochester quadrajet 4bbl carb with unique tuning for the W-30 setup, high-performance distributor and ignition timing, red inner fender wells, heavy-duty suspension components, performance dual exhaust with special mufflers, forced air induction hood setup, unique W-30 badging, and none of the W-30 cars had A/C.) Only about 1,518 W-30 cars were built in 1968, making it a much more rare and collectible model today. This example is equipped with a G80 anti-spin rear axle, A01 tinted glass, N47 power steering, and the rare automatic transmission. Additional features include chrome front and rear bumpers, a sport wood three-spoke steering wheel, and numerous original owners manuals. This car has been meticulously cared for and was recently inspected and authenticated by Stephen Minorie, an Oldsmobile and W-30 expert (photos of the report in the listing). Drive this one out of our showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United States! Dont hesitate to call us with any questions or for more information.
The 1968 Oldsmobile 442 W30 represented the peak of Oldsmobiles muscle car performance and engineering within the GM lineup. Originally introduced as an option package on the F-85 and Cutlass models, the 442 became its own model line by 1968. With limited production numbers and factory high-performance parts, the W30 variants remain among the most coveted by collectors today.
