That was next to the nursery ...

This in in the oil field ...

g-force ...

 

This car is for attention ****** only ...

It is surprising to me that no one is going to Pony up ...

I'm sure if I park next to your stripped W machine that I get more looks ...

 

GREAT idea of including videos with your for sale ad. One thought how about a vid of the gauges also so we can see oil pressure and rpms. Nice car, good luck with the sale. JKaz

 

I just hooked up with shop space to finish this project. I'm sure I'll have better luck when it's 100%(wrong)...

The chance of getting a good shot of a tic toc tac is not good. I have to fix it and I'll probably put some high visibility paint on the needle...

I'm going to detail the engine and I'll be sure to find all the casting dates on the heads etc. ...

 

Found my camera, I'll post some pics ...

This may not be a W machine, then most W's aren't loaded to the gills ...

I'm always impressed with the Original engine and it's power production (plenty)...

I've decided to start customizing the car. I'll start by getting some nice light comfortable bucketts, Fire-birds have a similar floorplan ...

Petronix Flamethrower 2 should beef up the spark a li,l...

That dual-gate is a too pretentious I'll substitute a Hurst made slap-shifter also f-boid ...

 

Markets a bit dead so I'm going to tune it up and hit the strip and cruises ...

 

The tic tac isn't working yet ...

cold start ...

 

When I bought this car it was hard to find comps. There were few if any of them available. Now Evil_Bay has a bunch. There is a very close match with the same"-" color code, and color ,Rally Red as mine. However; no PW, and the engine has been worked,

I like to drive my 442. I went to my pals horse ranch and the rain had made the dirt roads slick and the posi kept trying to slide into the ditch. So I aired down and went really slow and my pal was amazed that I got to the stables .

Sweet someone actually goin' Dukes of Hazzard (well almost) with their 442 Always loved rally red I wouldn't sell if I were you.

 

To a good home ...

I've done eveything myself so it's like a son ...

I think it handles better than any other A-body I've had ...

 

Stroked again ...

I was offered $6,000 and a '99 benz...

The guy flaked out but at least I remembered to mention that I will take partial trade, anything from a good cheap transportation car to a V C or flat top...

One reason for the sale is that this car is way out of my league, plus I want something I can modify and I just can't bring myself to alter anything. Why mess with perfection...

The problem with this car is that the man that can afford this car does not deserve it and the man that deserves it (me) can't afford it ...

 

Such a good way of putting it, I could not have said it better.

Not so, We work hard to obtain and restore our hobby cars. The only people who do not deserve them are the ones that don't appriciate them and take care of them.

 

Here are some firebird seats I found.

I also found some Olds floor mats.

I've added this radiator overflow off a '70 Vist Cruiser. They did not like to put these on 442s' for some odd reason.

I've shifted the window washer reservoir to the driver side. Everything bolted up using existing holes

Does anybody know a good way to rejuvenate the plastic ..?

 

This is my Preferred shifter.It's a "Slap Shifter" and can be found in GMs'. The oval hole in the plastic slider. I'll record the action but I need a tranny cable mount as I'd like to use a common replacement cable instead of a 442 only piece ...

Oh yeh. My tanks were dry so I got the benzo torch for $50 AT Home Despot and it heated the metal nicely. It's a li'l hard to adjust without regulators .

 

Well it looks like time to detail engine bay, heater core, new wiring harnesses and whatever else comes up ...

 

Has it been a year ...

I reduced price to $13,000 ...

Engine starts and moves car but is making a light knock ...

Value priced, goes back up when I repair engine ...

 

if you dont keep that car as original as possible,it wont be worth jack.

 

where's dogtown

 

Santa Monica , ca...

southside ...

 

My car is so original it hurts...

I'll keep the original parts, like the stock seats but without a a PHS like the goats have, you will never be able to document most 442s or w30s to get top price ...

w-30s are hot, base 442s not so much ...

Don't worry I won't drop in my rat mill ...

...

 

I put this car for sale on craigslist and all the responses are from tools looking for bargains ...

"Is it restored ?","does it have an aliminum 3RD" MEMBER ?"...

...

 

if you want,ill help you create a craigslist ad that will get serious attention.

the listing you have now is terrible

 

I'm a decent mechanic but a terrible salesman ...

 

I put in a "Driver" engine until I sell it ...

Best bid so far $6500, I still have it ...

I have to sell now, the hood is gone and the front bumper is hosed ...

Now is the time to make a hammer bid but it better be closer to 10 than 6 grand ...

I only need $5000 so a cash and trade is possible ...

Call me, leave your # I will call back, 323 449 2484 ...

Where is the Chrome?
I had a '70 Cutlass S and I am sure a 442 had more chrome.

 

The front bump is hosed the rear needs rechrome ...

the rest, door guard, trunk lid,hood trim,rain gutter,windshield, r window, etc. is stainless ...

No reserve auction= don't sweat the chrome,front seats,no console,dead engine

wrong rug and headliner...

 

5 days left and someone is going to be a happy camper...

 

Last day ...

We will soon see just what a nice stock 442 will bring ...

 

You never had me.

 

jeez,you destroyed that listing

 

I might be on drugs but you would have to be not to bid that car ...

My talents do not include sales ...

 

If I had the money I would buy your car.
