Super rare 1968 Olds 442 Convertible. 400ci original engine/325 HP. Rare 4 speed: 1 of only 1518 produced. Rare Saffron Yellow: 1 of only 177 produced. Convertible: 1 of only 5142 produced. Power steering, power brakes, power top, W30 red inner fenders, Hurst badging. This 400ci V8 is fitted with a Holley Sniper EFI self-tuning master kit, installed in August of 2023, dual snorkel air cleaner, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster muffler

Upholstery and interior

The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl, along with a center console fitted with a 442 shifter. Wood-rimmed steering with an Oldsmobile-logo horn button fronts a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a multi-gauge displaying fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temp. The five-digit odometer shows 97K miles, actual mileage is unknown.

 

More pics of all aspects of the car would be helpful when asking 50k.

 

I put tried to post over 60 images and they would not upload. Do you want photos?

 

‘Not personally, car is out of my price range. I thought it may help you sell. Often times you have to resize the photos and post like 5-10 at a time to get the site to take them. Just trying to be helpful.

 

Two questions you may be able to answer are:

1) Is the engine not a 350 HP, which would have been standard on a manual transmission car?

2) Is there any paperwork or documentation at all supplied with the car?

 

 

You can add around 15 pictures per post within a thread.

 

It might be a good idea to let folks know WHERE they can go to see it.

 

Little effort equals little results. When asking 50k plus, its in your best interest to give as much detail as possible..68 442’s are not in the same category as HO cars, w30 cars etc..Best to you on the sale.

Great looking car, but it wasn't born a W30 in Atlanta (per BaT listing). From the pics on BaT, The battery is on the wrong side for a '68 W30, also, I think. Stripes appear spot-on - that's a plus. $55K? Not for my wallet, but it sure is a looker!

 

No Olds A-body was ever built in Atlanta. Cowl tag looks REALLY sketchy. The VIN shows Lansing assembly plant.

 

Wow, looks like it got left outside in a hailstorm.

 

We're going to see more fabricated cars, because they are selling to people who don't care and will put the money down.
