85 442 that's made its way to the Midwest

so looks like my hunt for a non basic olds G-Body has come to a end(well kinda) I've wanted either a 442 or hurst to do a pro touring setup for some time now after owning 2 new gen gto's and enjoying the power to be had from them also the cornering ability to come from them I really wanted to take the iconic olds to the place it should have been with POWER and performance also kinda want to take away some flame from all the GN guys i see at car meets hahah. so with that said I've found a 85 442 in north Carolina that started out life in Texas that found its way to south Carolina and now to Indiana/chicago/midwest. first thing that i need to do is get this 307 started so i can enjoy it this season while I get all my parts for all the work that needs to be done which first thing will be paint and then it will get ziebarted before this season is over. I already have my ls1 for the engine swap to give her the power she should of had in the 80s and right now im just reading and making a list of parts that ill need to order or junkyard hunt for to get her done so yeah here are some photos of this pretty girl hahah

Wow 24 mpg hi way I'm impressed!!!

Looks like. A good score any rust?

I sold my 85 442 to another member here, I should have kept it! I loved t tops back in the day but now I prefer the non t top cars like yours, no leaks less expenses too.
