Whew!
I finally got a chance to view my near financially fatal mistake. The car had already been severely messed with. It was actually rotting through its first amatuer restoration. Basically, I feel that this guy was a liar and I probably should have asked for my deposit back. He said no holes inthe floor, but meant the holes had been poorly patched. I could visibly see holes when I looked underneath. so much for "solid" floors. Quarters and fenders had all been previously cobbled. It took me 5 minutes to determine I didnt want any piece of that car. Having been through that type of thing once already, I know it wouldnt have been worth it. Thanks to all for the candid advice.
PS- I did find a survivor in north Texas for the same price, granted, its not a 442, but it's a beautiful convertible cutlass S with little to no rust. It still needs alot, but mechanical stuff is easier and less $$
