The 442 would look great with the original SS-II rims, especially since many of the argent color SS-II rims have been repainted and they never seem to match the deep flat "charcoal" color of the originals. The SS-II rims would also give more "flash" to the 442 by adding additional chrome and polished stainless steel.

As for the OEM OAI hood and air cleaner, I would leave them, along with the OEM W-30 intake manifold. Not surprisingly, many 70-72 non-W30 cars were fitted with an over-the-counter factory aluminum intake manifold back in the day to save weight without going the aftermarket route.

I had also notice the original BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires with their smaller lettering. It was always hoped that BF Goodrich and other manufacturers would go back to the smaller sized lettering, but maybe they will one day if enough ask for them. My original BF Goodrich "Belted" T/A tires almost always get a double look since the "Radial" is missing. Of course they are only for show, even though they have very low mileage, due to their age.
I will post more pictures soon.

Yes, the car is a 48 10 paint code car.
