71 442 convertible
Looking for some advice. Newbie here. I have a line on a really nice 442, 4 speed convertible. Its been sitting in a garage piled with crap for nearly 20 years, no rust anywhere, interior is nice, black buckets with a center console. Bittersweet outside, no side stripes. Verified the 344 vin# it is believed to be 100% numbers matching, even the original exhaust. Motor turns over, but didn't start (not surprisingly). Looking for some ball park $'s on what I should pay. 62000 miles Thanks in advance.

thanks guys, no I think they're chrome and black? I cleaned enough out to check the underside, pulled up the disintegrated carpet in the trunk, clean as a whistle even down into the fenders, protect o plate in an oldsmobile plastic baggie in the back seat.wish I had taken more pictures. We came to a deal this afternoon.

But the Christmas decorations are staying.

$13k would be a great price for a 4spd 442 convertible. I would not attempt to start it from the fuel tank until the fuel system is cleaned and inspected. Good luck!

There was a specific 14x6 disc compatible SSI in 69, but, other than that, that is correct.

You can see that the rust has already been patched once at the bottoms of the front fenders and is coming back through the fiberglass and bondo. Not unusual on these cars, but what else is under that repaint.

Thanks! No the owner lives in California, its been sitting in his father's garage here in Binghamton forever.

The hole point of a safety chain is to keep the car on the trailer if the car does come loose, My point is that "safety chain" won't - or at least is likely not to.

I think you did really well on that one!! Yes there will always be more than meets the eye but a complete car to start with especially a pretty rare one is nice. I got my 70 convert in about the same shape, those fenders are normal, very few will be rust free and most repairs were cosmetic hence the rust coming through. Got some great options, sport wheel, power windows rally pac ect. Good find and good luck!
