If I was a younger guy, I would seriously consider taking that on. Could be a perfect car.

I hear ya sir !!! if these bones were younger I too would be interested in a project !! My 64 Bel Air (20 years ago) was a project which in the end I was very proud of , however my last two ( 56 Olds and 34 Plymouth ) were at 95 % complete when I purchased them. I guess I let someone else do the work and I reaped the benefits, with age comes wisdom but sometimes getting old sucks !! I agree this 442 looks like it could be be a perfect start for some ambitious sole .

Brings back a lot of memories. This was my car after a 10 year restoration.

The ad says it is a factory tri carb car, but the B head shown is inconsistent with that statement. The B heads shown may have blue overspray, I can see factory marks on the first two carbs, but I am unsure about the rear carb.

It may have a donor hood from a blue car. It does have a 2L accessory code. I do not see a Fisher floor piecing for a floor shift, but the picture angle is not optimum. Does the steering column collar show black or blue and black paint?

It is a nice, but not rust free, core car, To bring it to the level of Mike's Sport Coupe would put you in north of 100K unless you do a lot of the work yourself.
