Hi,my name is Sylvain, I'm from ouest of France.
Since january I'm a happy driver of 442
The car is coming from Oregon and is in nice condition, but still remain to do some job on to be ready to drive safe and wo bad surprise.
Soon I'll have some ( many ...) questions, it's my frist experience with US car !
Sorry for my bad American writing
I try to add picture ...

 

Welcome. we have other members form France and parts of the EU. Congrats on your purchase of a very nice car. Look on ebay and see if you can find a Chassis service manual for your car. Buy an original as the cd's and reproduction drawings are hard to read.

 

I've got the service manual together with the car and I found the body by fisher on eBay, thanks for welcome

Nice ride

 

WELCOME! My favorite year and favorite color (I may be a bit biased that way). Very nice looking 442.


One thing is for sure, that intake / dual quad carbs is not original.

 

More than likely that could be the original engine. The G block 400 is what you have and was only made in the years 68-69. Congrats, you have a nice toy there.
Post more pics and welcome from Texas.

 

Welcome to this site! And guess what? My '68 4-4-2 is from Oregon as well! Post some more pictures when you get to it. You have an extremely nice car!

Thanks for compliment, good news if the G block and C Heads are correct for the 68 year!
I have also the original carb,intake,air cleaner in a box, but the rochester carb is really in bad condition,should be refurbished,that's may be why the previous owner change .

 

first meeting,I love her more and more every days, soon she will be able to cruise all over the France

Nice American Muscle Cars in France. Way to go! Nice pics

 

Beautiful looking car! I'm glad it passed your emissions testing. The way it's set up now I'd bet it's a hungry beast.

To answer your question - The only way you'll know if the engine is original is to compare the VIN derivative number stamped on the Engine Stamping Pad on the left side of the block. It will coded with letters and numbers. The last 6 numbers will match the last 6 digits of the cars VIN plate on the front left upper dash.

Look here:




The easiest way to get this information is to take a picture there using you cell phone.
