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 *** 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...
