Just looking for some opinions from y’all who care to chime in. I have recently put my 1968 442 sport coupe up for sale and am looking for honest opinions on value. Here are the basics of the car. It is posted on this site but just looking for honest opinions. 1968 Olds 442 Sport Coupe (post). Numbers matching transmission and rear. Motor is correct 1968 replacement. Interior is all original except package tray, steering wheel, and Tach. Very good condition. Zero rust. Fresh rebuild on engine (400)and transmission (TH400). Lunati cam, headers, and trans go shift kit. Hughs 2500 stall cov. 308 rears. All new suspension with global west uppers. as well as new Pypes stainless exhaust. New brakes. New TT wheels and tires 18x9 rear 17x8 front. This car set in a barn for over 24 years until I purchased and brought it back to life.
I have always said a car is worth whatever ya can get for it and there is a buyer for every car at any price if ya can find that buyer. Just looking for some input as this car is gonna sell one way or another as I am purchasing a new boat. Any input is appreciated.
Used to alternate driving a 442 Convert and a W30 Hardtop to Lake Cumberland in KY from Indy and back a couple times a month. Lot more fun than driving the 2500HD
Now I live on the lake....and still have the cars and always looking for more. My company SD8 LLC (www.sd8llc.com) became a sponsor for the local April to October monthly car show www.somernitescruise.com as well to promote the hobby and community.
I build and buy them to drive the wheels off of every one of them.
Nice 10... I would keep it and eat cheese sandwiches instead of going out to eat to as one way save up for the boat. Then leave the boat stored at the lake so you can jump in that nice ride and enjoy the trip to the lake. You can get a lot stuff in one of those trunks.
But if it sits collecting dust most of the year get rid of it for someone else to enjoy. They are making new boats and toons everyday but not that nice 442. I love those red interiors.
Agree...you know they say the 2 happiest days of a boat owners life are the day they buy it and the day it is sold.
Not going to argue these points. But we have owned boat for most our adult lives and enjoy our time on water most. Just time to upgrade. And as previous post stated, it sits most time so it’s time for someone else to enjoy. Thanks again for the replies.

Ha, you got me thinking, maybe someone will come along with a wagon like a Vista cruiser that I’ll take on partial trade. Enough room for the kids the wife and the dogs and all our stuff to haul to the lake and still have a cool old classic ha ha Always fun making deals
LOL. Car only comes out of building a few times a year however we are at the lake every weekend through the summer. Appreciate y’all responses!
Same reason I'm selling my 64. We bought a cottage on a lake 5 years ago, so there just isn't enough time to maintain 2 households, 2 daily drivers, pontoon, jetskis, AND the convertible. I'm too far away from retirement to keep it. Better to let someone else enjoy it.
