Here is a short video from last fall when I first fired the engine... Just idling but you get the idea:

Disk Brake conversion & front suspension & steering components were completely rebuilt/replaced in 2009.

New carpet & reupholstered bucket seats in 2010 (Legendary Auto Interiors covers).

Last painted in 1988 & Shows its age- Has some chips & scratches. Typical bubbling behind rear tires, and bottom of front fenders. Floors and trunk are 100% solid and original.
Its very presentable, but it is a "10 footer", -NOT- show quality, however its a great driver w/ plenty of power and turns heads every time its out.

I am the 3rd owner- car was purchased new in Bellevue, WA been a NW car all its life. It has been garage kept the last 20 years.

The car is not a true 442, however all the correct 442 specific Trim has been added. Grill, Fender Scoops, Tail lights, trunk lip chrome, and dash emblem.

Looks good, email sent.

 

Wow that a really nice price for a really nice car i think. Clone or not where can you buy a car like that for that price? Should be an easy sell IMO.
Good luck with the sale

Mike, You got mail back

Thats the idea, but I'm aware that most people aren't shopping for muscle cars during the holidays, but I hope to catch the eye of a few who might be browsing while at family events, and might call after new years.

 

Wow, super nice.

 

Sold!

 

Congrats Ben!!

 

Can't believe it took that long. That's a great deal. New owner is very lucky.

 

Right on !!
She sure is a looker, isn't she?

 

Well done Ben. Dave are you the lucky recipient?

 

Not this Dave......wish I was. I can't go to the States. Don't have a passport. If I ever get a passport, It'll only be because I'm going over the border to buy a car.

 

wish i was happy with the sale, this is likely the first car I have ever sold that I flat out didn't want to sell- but you have to do what you have to do sometimes.

At least I still have the '53 chevy truck to fart around with.

I am keeping the original 310hp 330 from my car- its an excellent runner. Eventually once I get finances firing on all cylinders again I'll look for a 65, 66 or 68 cutlass that needs a motor & get back into the Olds game again.

I know how you feel, felt the same way when I sold my Plymouth a few years back. Just didn't have the room. Ben, the car can always be replaced. Hopefully you'll get through this rough patch soon. May 2015 be better.

 

Very nice job, I think the buyer got a lot of car for the money

ALMOST no way to tell it from a real 442

 

I was looking at that car real hard but have to be good and not buy anymore until I pay a few things off first. But it was sure tempting. Someone got a great car!
