Score of a life time just happens to me

A member here contacted me and offered me a score of a life time I won’t say a price but man did I score thanks to our member CRH!!!

I get to to pick up a 1965 true 4v 442 for a steal of a price he is going to let me pick it up in two weeks as he has a lot of work to dig it out lol now he knows what these are worth so this is a huge deal to me

Very nice! Congrats..

Btw, if you end up with two 65 442 air cleaners and want to part with one, I would be interested as I need one for my car.

Congrats again and good luck with the project!

I'd love to have the 65 Poncho parked next to it, but way to far from me.

Mr. oldstata is an honest, unselfish guy. Not one of those cocky, tire-kickin' big talkers like I've seen my entire life. Just straight up genuine and kind.

This dude deserves the 442!

I just moved the '60 Ventura bubble top this evening, so only one more car to move before we can reach the 442. Don't forget the extra fenders, hood, roof and motors!

you seriously have no idea how excited I am to own this car!

I could have talked cars all night, it was amazing hearing your moms story’s about her boys working on hot rods their whole life’s in the drive way even in winter stormes

Great Car glad you got it. ------ Just curious about the Pontiacs. The green one beside the 442 is a 62 Grand Prix and you said there was a 60 there also. Got any pictures ? Do you know what their plans for them are ? Thanks

the 62 Grand Prix he gave to his father in law the 60 bubble top I don’t know but it was the family’s car for a very long time good story with that car
the gto and the lemans I have no idea. I do believe that he had people in mind for everything

he does have a nice pair of 64 olds one is a rust free cutlass and the other is a 64 442 I know he is selling

I like 65's too, had two of them at different times, but a 64 442 is the holy grail in my opinion.
