68 442 Convertible For Sale(Northwest FL 32547)
1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible that has never been repainted. This is not a numbers matching car, the original engine was blown when my father bought this car in 1975. It has always had Oldsmobile engine, currently a 403 cubic inch engine from a 1979 Trans Am. Engine is standard bore, does have a mild cam and Edelbrock Performer intake and 1406 carburetor. The rest of the car is all original with the exception of front disc brakes with tall spindle and 15 inch Super Stock wheels from mid 70s Cutlass. All new ball joints and control arm bushings were used at the time of the spindle swap about 25 years ago. Less than 5000 miles have been put on the car since then. Transmission is a Trans-Go stage II turbo 400. Rear axle is the original Oldsmobile 12 bolt with 3.08 gear ratio. Front and rear anti-sway bars are original. The factory air conditioning system is all still there but not working. The power windows and power top all still work and the hydraulic cylinders were replaced a few years ago. There are a lot of new white interior parts some of which have not been installed yet. The original AM FM radio is long gone. The wheel opening moldings not on the car are in the trunk. The car has been stored inside for the last twenty plus years and driven occasionally until five years ago. I have recently put the car back on the road with fresh fluids and a complete rework of the fuel system. This is a local Florida car and all rust is pictured and has not increased in the last 20 years. Car can be inspected by appointment including being raised on a lift in my repair shop. I can add pictures on request, and take and send videos. I am asking $15,000 USD, no trades, I have to split proceeds with 2 siblings. I have the title and complete control of the sale. The car is currently registered, I drove it on a 100 mile round trip to a car show last November.

That is what it is. My Dad did not want his car rear ended and felt the extra brake light would help. It appears it is glued or double sided tape. There are no holes or fasteners on the bottom side and the wires just run across the trunk seal.
