Oldsmobile 442

I have a true 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible for sale. This is a complete car and would make a great project for someone who can handle some of the work on their own. It is running and driving in the condition it is now. It also does have its original numbers matching 400 engine. I believe it has all the rare trim as well. However, this is a project and the biggest issue with the car is its rust. It has a good amount of it and you can tell a previous owner has done some fiber glass work. I tried to do my best to describe the condition of the car with the pictures below. As I mention, this car is very complete. I'm only selling it because I don't have enough experience with body work. If you want any more information on the car or would like to see it, please use any of my contact information provided. Only 5,142 1968 442 convertibles were made. This car is a 3 speed automatic. The convertible top motor does run, but not correctly enough to lift it. The top will also need to be replaced, but I do have one in a box that has been unused. Upon inspection, I found that this top does have a minor tear about a half an inch.

Again, the rust isn't pretty. I would definitely recommend a frame swap.

I did also recently put in a brand new gas tank and replaced all the related tubes and clamps.
