I have no idea what you were attempting to say. Slow down a little bit and try to make coherent sentences.

Thanks Guys, Hopefully looks as good in person.
Black interior, i said i didn't really want a gold car and i bought one, Funny right!
It was on Ebay , You can look it up under "completed Items" His Minimum bid was 25k
Seems like a straight up seller. He had it since 2013 and has been having people working on the car for him.
Repaint, trans rebuilt, gardener Exhaust , Bilstein Shocks, resealed rear, Fuel tank.
Working on Shipping now
The Correct carb should be 7040257?

I did my home work, im a big boy.
so be it if it has a touch of bondo. Thats what it was made for "bodywork" and if anyone says there car dosnt have any thats just a straight up lie, every single car has some.
Yeah its a NY car and yes some NY cars have rust not all, but some.
And yes it has had Rust repair done on it. Its a driver. I Bought it because i like them.
I'm going to turn the key and drive it.
I paid 25k And can bail out anytime for the same money or more.
Thanks for your input.
Are you going to be able to drive yours soon?

Looks like a good deal and a nice car.
Living in the rust belt and dealing with all the rot on my cars, I hope you make out better and don't have any surprises.

Yea, that is quite a fast pickup. I think you are quite lucky to get it loaded so quickly and on the road. It is quite true, all have plastic or metal filler of some sort, or both--just depends when they were made. Enjoy your car.....

Congratulations on your 70 442. I love the color but sometimes It's hard to define the color differance between code (55) Galleon Gold and (58) Burnished Gold. Sure looks like Gallion. Whatever, it's a damn great looking car. Thanks for the pictures.
