Interesting 1976 442 Pro-Street

Not a bad looking car, priced a bit too high for me but still cool looking. Was a 350 car, but now a 455.

Interesting. I noticed in the write up said the nitrous 'had not been used'. Wonder why? Can't imagine why someone would install all that go-fast gear and not use it unless it was built just for show.

I saw on the 73-77 forum someone said because the door handles were shaved, it could not race, but I don't race, so I don't know. Maybe that's why it's never been raced. Strictly a show car.

Yeah it's a safety issue. You have to have door handles on a car so they can get you out if you're trapped in the car.
