I've been looking for one for years.Al They did do a kit of the '68 442 as well.There's a built up on ebay right now, starting bid of $65.00. If it weren't for the fact that it's missing several parts, I might consider bidding. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Love it. Sad part is you can find a distressed promo cheaper than you can typically buy a built-up 1968 Olds 442 . That's one car that brings good money built or unbuilt.Myself I have been casually looking for one to do just this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porscheman Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thank you everyone. I always thought the 68 was much better looking than the 69. IMO.Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porscheman Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks everyone. I think I got a great deal on this one. I did a little research on pricing on this promo and the average is between $65 to $280. This one was $50, plus the 2 Modelhaus bumpers of $17.00, makes it the deal of the year.Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
