68 442

New member from Michigan here. I have owned 4 1968 442's over the years as well as a 1968 Cutlass S. Always liked the 68 look and a 68 442 was my first car when we used them as daily drivers.

I currently have a 1968 442 with the original interior in great shape. It is an original 4 speed car with console. I bought the car 8 years ago and replaced the 403 that had been put in it with a 455 .30 over. The 455 has most of the stuff. Comp cam, Edelbrock/Holley, Pertronix ignition, Heddman ceramics/Flowmasters and Centerforce dual friction clutch.

The technology is a lot better today than when I built my first one in '72

Just wanted to say hello to all.

Welcome
I could only imagine my car with a manual. The 455 is a torque monster(I love mine)right foot therapy.
