Nice car. To be able to sell it as a 68 442, you should provide some more pictures.

You'll want to show that it is a real 442. Fortunately, the vin and cowl tag will show this, so a picture of each will do that for you.

Next, you'll want to show that it is numbers matching. You should provide pictures of the casting numbers on the heads, the casting number on the block,
and the vin derivative stamped number on the block to show that it is the correct block and heads for a 68 442, and the original block to that car.
The first link will help with that.

After that, you'll want to show numbers matching transmission. You'll want a photo of the vin derivative on the driver's side pan rail, and the tag on the
passenger side midway up the transmission. The second link will help with that.

Other useful information includes pictures of the numbers on the driver's side of the carb, and the two digit axle code on the back side of the right
axle tube. Casting numbers on the intake and exhaust manifolds as well. Also, generally better pictures help; try getting the car into some actual
light and take good photos of the paint and convertible top and engine bay.

Also, saying what you have for documentation, like protectoplate, order form, window sticker, etc, will help.

 

Nice car for a good price. The Turnpike 442 is 2-barrel with 2.56 gears. Made to cruise and get decent gas mileage. Has the same air cleaner as a standard Cutlass. Good luck with sale, it should sell quickly if advettised in the right venue. You might try Olds Central or Bring a Trailer. BAT seems to attract deep pockets.

 

As Koda mentioned, can you post what documentation you have? I live near Springfield and may be interested.

Thanks
Will
