1969 442 purchase... is it a W-31?
I posted this as a follow-up to the "Targa" top 442 post; apologies in advance for the double-up... I simply thought someone might be able to help me identify the car further...
Maybe a W-31?
Ok, in trying to research the car further, I find that the engine is a 350... casting 394448 2, the heads are number 5, the intake is a four-barrel cast-iron unit with the casting number of 398663, and the filler tube has the number 8 128121 on it. The inner fenders are black plastic, and it has a rear sway bar under a 12-bolt rear end... it also has the factory rear wing on it.
Could it be a W-31? All things so far seem to indicate it may be.... the air cleaner and front bumper are long gone... it also has a big four-row radiator, and the harmonic balancer is as big as the big lower pully, if not bigger.
I can't seem to get low enough into the car to view the stamped number on the block to see if it matches the VIN; that would help for sure.
Anyone? ~Tim
