My folks bought a 67 4 speed 442 as our family car. Dad traded it in just before I got my permit. So, I bought a 67 4 speed car as my first car. A few years later I was home on leave from Japan in October 1979 and drove the 67 442 convertible home that my dad bought. It had a bad left quarter panel. When I got back home from overseas it had the left quarter panel off my 1st car on it. Dad never finished fixing it up. I took over the restoration 5 years ago and now it is just waiting on a few final pieces. So, 33 years overall.

i bought mine 4 days ago, havnt seen it in person yet, still waiting for the transport company to bring it to me. The car is in Anehime,Ca. im in College Station, Tx. There supposed to call me when they have a carrier. I hope i get the call monday!!!.Its a red/black 67 442, factory air, buckets, console auto, not running at the moment. Although he said he had it running for about 30 seconds before it died. So i have hope! I owned a Tahoe Turquoise 4 speed when i was 18, now im 58......... that was a gorgeous car!!!
