1968 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe, 'Numbers Matching.' Very SOLID, beautiful original, well-maintained, southern car(North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama). I purchased the car in Alabama and DROVE it to Delaware in January 2013. The car runs, drives and handles great. The car is a 'numbers matching' 442. The car has a complete history. It was purchased on December 13, 1967 from Skyline Motors in Mount Airy, NC. The original owner's manual and warranty booklet are included in the sale documenting the car's service history. The original buyer owned the car till 2003. In 1990, the original owner began a frame-on restoration of the car. The original 400ci engine which had approximately 123,000 mi was removed and rebuilt using OEM parts. There are no engine modifications with the exception of hardened valves to accommodate unleaded fuel and chrome valve covers. Today the rebuilt engine has about 13,000 miles on it and runs smoothly and quietly with no signs of wear. The engine compartment is very clean and well-detailed. The history of the car contains receipts and a log outlining all the new parts and work conducted during the restoration. The car was professionally re-painted in the early 90s the original provincial white(code C). There is no evidence of rust repair nor body panel replacement. The paint is still in excellent condition........NO rust, moisture bubbles, fading, rock chips, overspray, etc. There is ONE area where the paint has some 'runs' on the right front fender lower panel which could be easily buffed and removed. The vinyl top was replaced in 1995 the original blue(code 4) and remains in excellent condition......NO bubbling underneath nor fading. The interior is original and very good....all the gauges work with the rally package......tic toc tach. There is some minor pealing on the back panel of the front seats and the headliner needs to be re-stitched in a couple areas. Both can be easily fixed. The dash is in great condition with no cracks nor evidence of repair. The glass is excellent. The chrome is also in excellent condition. The trunk is clean and solid containing the original trunk liner and jack. The underside of the car has been painted and is clean and SOLID. The exhaust has all the correct components and new mufflers were installed in 2012. The tires and brakes are in great condition. The car has front disc brakes which was an option in '68. The car is equipped with power windows, tilt wheel, air conditioning and cruise control.......all are in working order. The car has a refurbished original AM/FM radio but it needs new speakers. The car was sold in 2003 and moved to South Carolina. In 2005, the car was bought and moved to Alabama. The history includes copies of old titles and registrations. The master cylinder needs replaced and a new OEM master cylinder is included in the sale. Also included in the sale are a number of NOS parts..........fuel pump, accelerator pedal, trunk light and oil cap. This is an awesome unmodified solid 442 with a very rare complete history. You won't be disappointed.
