just picked up the 85' 442 that i talked about

it is not in great shape but it is not rusted out. i have no idea what i am going to do with it but just had to have it. it does not have the G80 posi rear end. i got it home and put gas in the tank and a little in the carb. it just ran for a second and died. i done this 5 times. with farther investigation i found that the fuel pump is not working. i will put a new pump on it and go from there.

i can't figure out how to make my pictures larger and still be able to get them on here.

just got it running! runs and shifts great. i had to change the vacuum lines and just blew out the line from the fuel pump and the gas tank and it fired right up. it runs incredably smoth for not being ran for 5 years. i am sure it will need plug wires and all that but just excited it runs. was looking at the suspension bushings and they are not bad, i figured they would be. the car needs a large amount of work but is a good start for someone looking to build one of these.
