The seller uses the words "stock: & "unmolested"... Yet, paint scheme is incorrect, engine compartment is not stock, and interior/dash has been modified... Definitely enough to confuse any knowledgeable 442 person...

Uh, yeah...what CRUZN 66 said.
Original paint? Gone!
Original stripes? Gone!
Hard-to-find original 442 chrome lid, dual snorkel air cleaner? Gone!
Original leather-wrapped 442 steering wheel? Gone!
Console hacked for video screen and...cup holders?
Cheap chrome accessories throughout the engine bay.
Rear interior panels hacked for speakers.
Digital cluster???

Dude, your car is the DEFINITION of MODIFIED and MOLESTED! Is it a nice street machine? Perhaps, but don't advertise it as a stock and unmolested original, 'cause it ain't! I would feel better if he would have put Hurst/Olds emblems on it and gave it the license plate "87 HO IF", as in what a 1987 Hurst/Olds may have looked like IF Hurst made one.

It is a straight car, but definitely customized.

I agree its been customized, 3 Goodyears and I Winston tire. I don't think he went overboard on the price though. I think its worth close to his asking price.

That would depend upon the VIN... If it is a VIN code 9, yes it is/was a 442...

I agree. $8500 for that car isn't out of this world, unless of course you are looking for the unmolested classic.
