Might be a coincidence might not
"I am selling a complete, original, numbers matching 442 rolling chassis. It is currently underneath a very nice original 442 in excellent condition, a solid #2 car, using the Old Cars Price Guide Scale. Yes, I am disassembling an original 442 with documentation. I need the body complete for my custom chassis. I am selling the complete rolling chassis. It has its original 400, trans, 12 bolt rear-end. I have five SS1 wheels with red-line tires. This car was restored in the '90's and received tons of new parts. I think the documentation listed trans rebuild, engine rebuild, new springs, all kinds of new parts. I have the documentation from the restoration shop in Georgia that did the work. All work done was to restore the car to stock condition. Like I said, the rolling chassis is for sale complete. The car will be disassembled in 3-5 weeks, so now is the chance to see the car while all systems are operational. How often can you drive the engine, trans, or rear axle that is for sale? This complete chassis is for sale for $3500.00 USD. Car can be seen in Easley, SC, where my restoration is taking place. I can be contacted at 217-224-8513 anytime before 10 pm central time. Car has around 90,000 miles on it, and I have pics I can send. You cannot buy original parts in excellent condition for near this price. This is not a bogus ad. I needed a great condition restored 442 hardtop for my custom chassis. I already have my drivetrain custom built for the application. The restoration was extensive, but was not frame-off. The front clip came off. The frame will have undercoating on it. The car was undercoated when it was originally sold new. I have the original bill of sale. This includes all the original goodies: sway bars, boxed trailing arms, drum brakes all around, engine from restored air cleaner to restored oil pan (!), exhaust in nice condition, you name it."
