1968 Oldsmobile 442 Description
Here is your opportunity to own a very un-molested, second owner, "survivor 442". This car was owned by my neighbour (still lives down the street). He bought the car new from GSL Chev City in Calgary, Alberta, Canada back in 1968. The car was then taken and left at his summer home in Santa Barbara where it lived most of it's life. My neighbour brought the car back to Canada when he sold the summer home in approx 2005. I acquired the car from then and it has only seen 4000 miles of use since 2005.
I am selling her for no other reason than lack of storage. She is a beautiful survivor car.
As part of this Sale, I include 4 mag star wheels that I purchased at a swap meet. They will need restoration to use on the car if you so choose.
Car comes with ORIGINAL PROTECTO-PLATE and owners manual.
Here are the options that the car has:
-Original 442-400 CID engine-Front Disc Brakes-Power Steering-Power Brakes-Posi Tra rear-end-Front and Rear sway bars-Shoulder strap seat belts-Tachometer - Tic Toc Tach-Power Bench Seat-Am radio-Power antenna-Cruise Control-Air Conditioning-Tinted Windows (believed to be all original glass)-Pearl Interior Trim-Vinyl roof-Dog Dish wheels-Tilt Steering-Template for Side Stripes Included!
If you are looking for a very original Survivor 442, this is the car. A Set of Mag wheels (need restoring) as well as the Template for Side Stripes is included in Sale. Note that it is not perfect. The engine has never been cracked on this car. It runs well but is all original, including the grease. It could use an underhood detail. Additionally, there is a slight tear in the drivers seat. This is the only visible defect in the interior and is easily recoverable. The dash is in excellent condition with no visible cracking or sun damage. The remainder of the interior, aside from the front lower bench covering, is in excellent condition.
Please contact me with any Questions. The car is available for viewing in location. Although shipping is the buyers responsibility, for the successful bidder, I will assist in any way I can to make a smooth transition. I WANT THIS CAR TO GO TO A GOOD HOME. It is rare to see a 442 that has had such low (and fully available) ownership history and to have been kept as a survivor. For anyone looking to turn this car into your dream "show car", this is about the best base that you will ever find. If you wish to just drive her, she is ready.

Bidding on an item and then retracting your bid without reason is not cool and will be reported to EBay. It wastes everybody's time. This vehicle reserve is set way below the cars actual value. It is not "junk" like most cars on Ebay. Bid with confidence.
