I would like to buy a 1970 through 1972 442 convertible in restorable condition.

 

I have done this many many times......You can buy a car done cheaper than you can build one.....Unless you just want the satisfaction (and head ache) you can get one tomorrow and drive it and enjoy it for for less money than you will build it for......

 

Bob,
I like to tinker. always nice to do the job yourself. It is gratifying! I would take a 72 or 71 442 convertible also if available.

 

Your title says 442 convertible.....They are bringing BIG bucks..

If you stay with the supreme convertible (all the body panels are the same) They are affordable.....The rear bumper and the grills are different and easily substituted if you want the 442 look.. On mine I took the supreme chrome off the sides as I prefer the "clean" look like the 442...


Just a thought as you said affordable

 

Where are you located? I'm thinking of selling my '72 442 convertible. Its an older restoration but still looks good. Its not numbers matching by any means but its turn key and can be driven anywhere.

Bob/Kaz,
I do not know about you guys but the reason i went with the cutlass supreme in the first place was the roof line. I do not like the fast back look of the hardtop 442's. The only way I can get away from that look would be aconvertible or Cutlass Supreme 442. I know the did not offer a 442 in the cutlass supreme in 1972 which is my favoite year. Any insight on this would be apprecaited.

If you really like the Supreme Body style then I might have a car for you.


I have a 1970 Supreme SX (455) W-32 car with a W-25 ram air hood.
Platinum with black vinyl top ..........If you would be interested.

The 70-72 Cutlass Supreme was the Notch-back style. If you are interested in a hardtop Supreme in that style that is in need of restoration, I know of a 1970 with a 350 4bbl that needs a complete restoration for around $1000.

One thing to remember that in 1972, the 442 was a decor package and was available with a 350 or 455. It was possible to get a 350 with a 2-barrel and single exhaust.

 

 

this car is only 26k,and all it needs is gas.

orig a 350 4 speed,now 455 4 speed

it's in new jersey
