1968 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS 442
Original 400 Big Block Engine. Turbo 400 Automatic.Fully Restored
When it comes to 60s GM muscle, Oldsmobile enthusiasts often spend years searching for a clean,numbers matching car that worthy of investment grade money. Fully documented from its factory build sheet all the way to its recent freshening, this stunning 1968 442hardtop is an incredible, numbers matching showpiece which features original sheetmetal and an original vinyl interior. At the front of the car, a bright chrome bumper hangs below a black, stainless topped grille which centers a black inlaid 442 emblem between four clear T3 headlights and two clear parking lights. At the sides of those headlights, slick stainless trim traces both the car's fender lines and wheel openings; and behind those headlights, a moderately domed hood is topped by small, finned louvers. And at the sides of the car, traditional chrome door handles perfectly complement a spotless driver's side mirror, large black-inlayed 442 fender emblems and cool Oldsmobile rocket marker lights.
Lift the hood on this rare 1968 Oldsmobile and you'll find an original 400 cubic inch Rocket V8 which is branded with a correct, 442-specific casting number and a correct partial VIN stamp. This car has been authenticated by GM Canada Vintage Vehicle Services and was sold new at GSL Chev-Old's in Calgary, Alberta. The 1968 Rocket 400 is a super-efficient wedge head design which utilizes a standard stroke and under square bore to create a stout 350 horsepower and one of the meanest sounds to ever come out of an American muscle car. Stomp the throttle and the car's big Quadrat 4-barrel carburetor mixes fuel from new stainless fuel lines with air from a W-30 dual snorkel ram-air cleaner, and shoves it into correct cast iron intake manifolds. Cooling is provided by reproduction GM hoses which cycle water through a correct heavy duty radiator. And charging comes courtesy of new V-belts which spin a fresh Delcotron alternator and a factory correct power steering pump behind a standard six blade mechanical fan. Aesthetically, the car's red plastic W-30 inner fenders and correct Bronze block look fantastic against its Ivory exterior paint. Behind the big block 400 is an original Turbo 400 transmission, which sends power to a pavement melting O Type Posi-traction rear. From its original, rust free floor panels to its straight frame and fully detailed driveline and suspension, this clean 442 presents a trophy winning level of assembly line accuracy. Inside this A-body rocket, you'll find an original GM Parchment vinyl interior which is both comfortable and appealing. Great looking stainless trimmed strato bucket seats sit in front of a vinyl rear bench on like-new black carpet which is protected by color-keyed floor mats. Between those seats, a factory optioned console frames a correct shifter with mirror-like chrome trim. At the sides of those seats, great looking black door panels are decorated with pristine stainless trim, familiar GM armrests and chrome handles for the car's doors and windows. And in front of those seats, a straight and pliable dash hangs an optional Rally gauge pack above silver 442 trim and a correct Oldsmobile transistor AM radio.
