442 questions, looking to buy one

I am looking at a 1987 442 currently, and I would love to buy it. I was wondering about price though. It has 115,xxx miles on it and it has the 455 big block in it. It has fresh paint and clean ass interior, new headliner and carpet. It is a 442. What do you guys think a good price for this car?

I know in NC where I live this car would not pass emissions...that being said, between 5K and 8K is a good guess if the car is pristine. Without any pics it is difficult.

I would think you could find a pristine 80s 442 for as low as $4000. But I live in BFE Oklahoma.

Fred, why not? Are NC emissions test strict?

A 455 was never stock with that car and it would have quite a few more emissions than the little 307 it replaced...
