Wtb 1968 442
This is the first time I've sold one of my Oldsmobiles without having another one lined up. I definitely feel the void. With having a couple different ones I'm ready to find my favorite year/model; 1968 442. I'm not in a rush, but want to see what may be out there in my budget. I am looking for something that is currently mechanically sound and can enjoy from day one and has little to no rust. My last car was a 68 442 convertible and I definitely know rust is not something I can handle. I have a budget of up to 15k depending on the car. If anyone has something available or come across any leads, please PM or email me. Obviously, it not something that has to be cosmetically perfect, I just want one I can enjoy anytime.
Thanks
Thanks

Update: Found exactly what I'm looking for from another great member here and just waiting for it to get picked up and shipped to my garage! Trying to not go crazy in the meantime.... :-)

I was thinking he might have made a deal with Chad:

The car actually got to my house yesterday. The worst part... I wasn't there ! Bad luck with timing and an already planned family vacation made me miss the arrival. Another Oldsmobile friend of mine was able to put it in my garage and he says its more beautiful then expected. Needless to say, I'm very excited to get home. I'll have pictures as soon as I get some time with it.
The only other unfortunate thing was that somewhere in transit the brakes started failing but I can't image it being a big issue since everything was essentially redone. Its killing me not being able to look into it now! (may make thread about it once I get more details)
Regardless, its just great to have an Oldsmobile in the garage again. My favorite year, model, color, and with some great options and cool history....its like a dream come true. Unlike the convertible I had to part with, the condition is perfect for me. :-). I can definitely see this one being a fun bonding experience with my kids.
Again, I definitely want to give a shout out to Ted for being a fantastic seller and doing excellent work in restoration. I wish him the best of luck in his addiction of restoring these beautiful classics.
