1968 Oldsmobile 442 Coupe – Frame-Off Restoration

This beautifully restored 1968 Oldsmobile 442 combines raw muscle with attention to detail. Finished in Barrier Blue base clear paint over a sharp Black interior, this true American classic underwent a full frame-off restoration and is packed with both original components and tasteful performance upgrades.

The engine breathes through an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb and Torquer 455 aluminum intake, paired with a new 2.5-inch dual exhaust system that delivers a proper muscle car growl.
