I have been given the family job of getting the 442 that has been sitting in my dads cousins garage for the last 30+ years a new home. Hoping I can get some help here as I really don't have an idea of what it is worth. I am looking for any info you can give me on what a fair offer would be for this car and also if you are interested let me know. Thanks!

I went onsite last week and unplugged the coil wire and hooked up some jumper cables and was able to turn the engine over, it turned very slowly but did turn. Just for giggles I checked the oil and it still looked good! ha. I have the original sales paperwork along with some other cool stuff (original warrenty, protecto plate badge and original title. Ask any questions and I will answer, I tried to take as many pics and videos as I could. Car is located in Novi, Mi. 34k original miles, 1 owner.

wow, hard to believe there are still cars coming out of hiding, great color combination and a convertible on top of it. Wow!!! the car does have a decent amount of rust and who knows what the engine needs. The deck lid has been changed as that came from a Cutlass, wonder if there is anything else replaced on the back end. Hard to tell but looks like the interior is in really nice condition. Would be an awesome project that's for sure - wish I had some extra cashola laying around.

 

It's a nice complete car but there's a fair amount of rust. The door rust is pretty bad for a car that's been sitting in a garage that long. I'm thinking $4k to $5k tops if the underside is fairly solid. The problem is, with that much exterior rust, the body mounts are probably junk and the floor is probably soft

 

Thanks, yea I was surprised by the rust too and the deck lid, I thought for sure everything was original. Floors seemed solid but I did not pull up the carpet or anything to check.

 

ha, sorry about that second video!! that was not the one I meant to upload!! I have one of the motor turning over. I am sure you all liked watching me trying to tune the Tigers game in...

 

any other opinions or anyone interested in this car, looks like it might go on ebay this weekend.

Thanks,

 

It's got some issues, but not exceptionally serious. Good luck with your sale.
