Hi everyone,
I recently got this gem from my uncle. It has been in his garage for over 20 years. I have wanted a convertible for years. Eventually it will get a new paint job, but for now I plan to just get it going and enjoy it a little. (I have restored a mustang and 2 porsches and was unable to enjoy any of them.)
My son is home from the Marines for a little while, so hoping to get it running in a few weeks. I will keep you posted.

Nice '69! Did your uncle have the missing parts for it as well? That will be a nice car to put back together again. Enjoy!

congrats, great idea, fix up the basics and enjoy it.

It is basically a complete car, aside from the typical broke/missing stuff one would expect. He took it apart anticipating a complete restoration. He just never got around to it and wanted room in his garage. Now if life would just get out of my way so I can get started!

Nice. I previously owned a 67' & a 72' 442. Enjoy your project...

MORE PICTURES!! Beautiful car even in the rough. Make safety a priority for making it roadworthy. Good luck, keep us posted.

Looks like a great project !

What trans ?

Original engine ?

It came with a delta 88 with a 455. The Th400 tranny from the 88 is long so I will use the TH350 that came with the 442 for now. None of the drive train in the 442 is original.
