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.
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.
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,
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!!!
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.

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

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).
