Looking for other people that have 68' 442 Sports Coupe

 

The only other fellow I remember with a post coupe on here is in South Africa

 

68 post coupe, factory 3 speed on the floor, 350/4v dual exhaust. Came by way of Montana (and fellow member vette442 )

 

Cool, finally some other sports coupes. Do you have any pics?

 

About 15 years ago there was a 68 442 Sport Coupe in a storage lot near my house. The car was rusty but it had the three speed manual floor shifter and bench seat (which was a CREDIT option over the standard equipment buckets). I always thought it was kind of cool in a perverse sort of way, since it was clearly the least expensive 442 one could order in 1968.

 

I have a Turnpike Cruiser Sports Coupe.

 

Hi Guys. I haven't been on the site for a couple of months. I do indeed have a 1970 post coupe. It has a bench seat and is equipped with a TH400 with the shifter to the floor. I suspect this may have been a modification. My Olds is the talk of the neighbourhood as I tear up the tar on every street corner. I love the damm thing...........what can I say.

 

My son has a W30, auto tran.

 

I JUST bought an 68' Olds 442...i don't really know much about. I'm doing a full restoration and this is my first project. i'll post pictures if anyone knows how to make them smaller...it says mine are too big,

 

Here is my 68...

 

Just got one, it's partly restored, 4 speed bench seat car with P/S, dark green exterior, white interior. Needs brake work, radio, ans some of the dash control ***** are missing. I really don't know much about it, it runs good, sounds great.

 

I had one and sold it in 1990. Wish I didnt, it was my first car.It was a close ratio 4 on the floor bench seat jade gold black interior 3.42 posi and it was fun to drive!!!

 

Keep them coming. Let's see some pictures. Click this link for more pictures of mine. I also have a video clip of how it sounds.

Please check it out and rate my car.

Thanks, Dan

 

Currently white but getting it painted back to Juneau Gray next month. Also currently has a 73 455/turbo 400 but was a factory 4 speed bucket/no console car. Going to convert it back to a 4 speed in the future. This picture was taken last summer before adding a tubular front suspension, rear 1” lowering springs, front disc brakes and quick ratio steering box.

 

It may not matter but this thread is 15 years old.

 

No I know. I saw after I shared haha. Maybe it’ll restart it.

 

Old thread yes for sure. But. Your car looks great. I love cars that actually get driven and loved. Maybe start a new thread about your car? Plans etc..

PS: Love the wheels

 

sounds like a plan. Which group should I post it in for that? Thanks about the wheels. Came with the car but I’m a big fan. 17x8 fronts 17x8.5 rears

 

I have a 69 Post coupe

 

Guess what .. '68 Sports Coupe. auto, bucket seats and console.

 

Nice looking '68. I know its probably too late by now, but if I was repainting that car, I'd for sure move those 442 numbers on the fenders to the proper location so the stripe can be relocated to its correct location (that or leave off the stripe).
