just traded 85 442 for 69 cutlass

the 69 is a little rough but runs and drives. the hood and trunk are rust free. has a very nice A/C dash, also has a vacuum power trunk release that is working. this guy just showed up tonight, i thought he was coming tomorrow. he just left so i will have to look the rest over tomorrow. he was happy with the 85 442 and i am happy with the 69 so we had a win win deal.

i will post pictures Tuesday.

Congrats on the new addition to the fleet! But you know where this is going to lead.... Next you'll need a 1971, then a 1968, 67, 66 etc. until you have a full set

Soon you will need more land, a bigger shop and storage building. I can see where this is going. We'll all get to visit the Jensen racing museum and see the whol collection

if i were rich, i would have an encredable collection. i have seen so many low mile cars ovethe years that i would have got every one i seen. i had a 72 W-30 with 16,000 miles i sold in 2000, i had a 68 cutlass s with 14,000, i had the chance a couple years ago to get a 73 cutlass with 21,000, and a 77 cutlass with 5000. my dad had a 83 delta 88 diesel with 32,000 miles but it got totaled a couple years ago. these were all within 100 miles of my house. just wish i could keep them all.

after looking at this car in the day light, it has some very good parts but i think i could have done better. the passenger door and trunk lid are completely rust free. i checked the oil and there was none. i added 4 1/2 qts and started it up. it ran great, then i looked under and it pumped all the oil right out the rear main. what a POS. looks like i may part it out but i don't know.
