Summary:
Used 1968 Oldsmobile 442 White
Location:
Mason, WI
Description:
1968 Oldsmobile 442 W30 in order to raise the necessary capitol to go into production on a patent I just obtained after five years. I was never planning on every getting rid of this car but the business opportunity is too great. That being said, this car went through a meticulous four year, frame on restoration with no expense spared. I have enjoyed this car on the weekends with my family. It was built to drive and to enter into car shows. Even though the car was rust free, the body was disassembled and taken down to the metal. Repainted Wimbledon White with the famous black vertical 442 stripes. All glass, exterior trim, bumpers, grill, etc are in A+ condition- all restored original or new NOS parts. Car is as straight as an arrow. The interior was completed restored- NOS door panels, NOS shifter, NOS door handles and NOS dash. All gauges and radio were professionally restored. The seats were recovered in the same material as factory with new foam. I hate how loop carpet snags and becomes frazzled, so I had cut pile carpet installed- the same carpet they use in Lexus vehicles. Glass is all perfect. The original 400 motor was completely rebuilt with no expense spared. It was confirmed by the engine builder that it was the High Compression 400 motor that was used in the W30's. It was clear to the engine builder that the engine had never been taken apart. All internal parts, including the cam shaft were W30 spec. The engine was rebuilt with only the best internals, making it even stronger and more reliable than factory. Because I knew I would enjoy driving this car, we added certain components to make it perform better. Performance aluminum intake, headers, electronic ignition, aluminum radiator, mandrel bent exhaust with cross X and flowmaster 40 series mufflers. The car was taken to the dyno last year and was producing around 430 horsepower before the tires started breaking loose. With track tires, I am sure it would record nearly 500 horsepower. I had a 700R4 transmission built by Hughes Transmissions, new drive shaft, rebuilt 12 bolt pos rear end, power disc brakes in front and drums in back. Upgraded suspension all the way around, every bushing, hose and line replaced. I opted to keep the underside in terms of coating. I have always been leery of people selling cars with fresh sound deadener sprayed under the car- I always felt like it is used to hide rust and other damage. The underside of this 442 in original and honest, a little black paint here and there, but you can clearly see what good condition it is in. It was this great original condition that persuaded me to do a frame on restoration as opposed to a frame off.
