Tired of scouring barns and backyards for an investment grade Oldsmobile thatwill bring home big trophies and an even bigger return?

Like all GM A-bodies, the 442 underwent a major restyle for the 1968 model year. It's clean and modernist lines were no doubt a play on its parent division's engineering leadership within the GM hierarchy; and the resulting design continues to weather exceptionally well. 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.

Whether you're searching for a pristine classic that can double as an investment, a cool car to drive and enjoy or a trailer queen to win trophies with, this phenomenal 1968 442 fits the bill! Highly original and documented, it's a super cool muscle car that's poised to gain value by the year. If you're an Oldsmobile collector or serious muscle car fan who wants something a little different, you simply can't go wrong with this rare rocket!
