1968 Oldsmobile 442

Another beautiful Basil Classic... this 1968 Oldsmobile 442 showing 46,462 miles has been handpicked and meets Joe Basils standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles since 1951.

This 1968 Oldsmobile 442 is a striking example of Oldsmobiles original muscle-car formula, finished in Scarlet with correct 442 badging on the front fenders and grille. The car rides on paint-matched factory wheels wrapped in Firestone Wide Oval tires, giving it just the right amount of aggressive stance while staying true to its era. Dual exhaust tips exit out back beneath a clean chrome bumper, and the car presents as a clean, straight, and solid example throughout - free of the rust and body issues that plague so many surviving muscle cars of this vintage. This is confirmed as a true 442 car, and under the hood, the original motor has been upgraded to a 455 ci V8, dressed with the correct Rocket 455 High Performance air cleaner lid and finished in factory-correct copper engine paint. A supplementary Sun gauge package (amps, oil, and temp) has been added beneath the dash, along with an aftermarket tachometer mounted atop the column - thoughtful additions for a driver who wants to keep a close eye on the big-block underneath. Inside, the cabin features black bucket seats, a woodgrain sport steering wheel, and the desirable His-and-Hers shifter, Oldsmobiles clever floor-shift/console combination that added a touch of style to the muscle car formula. The car comes complete with its original 1968 Oldsmobile owners manual, and additional spare parts - including the original air cleaner and valve covers - are included in the trunk for the next owner. This 442 offers the perfect blend of authentic muscle car pedigree and added big-block performance - a great driver-quality example ready for its next owner to enjoy.
