Sorry for being slow

I don't have much in the way of pics in digital form of this car from early on. Sister scanned a polaroid for me yesterday. This is from 80 or 81. I'll get more in a later post. This is a 403 car.

Welcome to the site, salrulz!
How has the 442 held-up over the past 30+ years since that picture was taken? What kind of drive time does it see these days? I don't see too many of the mid-to-late 70's cars out there any more.
Good luck with it!

Thanks. All things considered,it is in decent shape. It hasn't been driven since about 85 or 87. This is due to me being a stupid kid and wanting to put a 455 in it. Took the 403 out to sell it for money to build a 455 I have. Thankfully,the engine didn't sell. At that time I didn't realize how few were equipped with the 403. I still have it and it turns. It just isn't in the car. That and some money issues plus life happening,and here we are. But I get it out and clean it. It could be in better shape,and it needs some attention,but it is solid. There were a handful of 77's around here back in the day,but I haven't seen one on the road in decades. Sorry for the long post. Here is the car washed but not waxed yet. Chrome rings are in the trunk. It is sitting in almost the exact same spot as the first pic.
