Been lurking a while, just joined. I'm in the market for a 67 442 Holiday coupe. My Grandpa bought one new for my uncle and I always wanted that car. Sadly it sits in a barn in Ohio, literally rotting away with a spun bearing. There don't seem to be many 442's in Colorado so I'm searching nationwide hence this site.

 

Good luck in your search. Welcome to the site.

 

Welcome to CO, I hope our members can help you find the car you are looking for. Please feel free to make a thread in the 'cars wanted' forum.

 

Why don't you go get it?

 

Welcome aboard

I'd go get it too even if just to sell it here.

 

I'd love to, but i don't own it, and he won't part with it.

 

Welcome, denver here!

 

Thanks. Lakewood, here. Do you ever make it to the Golden supercruise?

Here she is.

 

That's the car that sitting and rotting away with a spun bearing?

 

No. That is the car I just purchased to take my mind off the one rotting away with a spun bearing.

 

Oh. You hadn't told us you had bought a car. Very nice!

 

Sorry, I had posted that in the wanted forum. Now that I have dug out these old pic's Of my uncles, I'm not sure there is much left. Sorry about the crappy photo's, but this is around 1981 with a kodak insta-matic. I could only imagine the cancer now.

 

So what's he gain by not selling or giving it to you? When he finally goes to his reward, is he going to be buried in it?

You're right, though, in that over the 30 years since those photos were taken, the car might have become pretty much nothing but iron oxide by now.

 

Welcome to CO, Colorado newbie, and congratulations on the new purchase! Damn shame about the "one in the barn"!!! When will, if ever, people learn that after 30 years they are probably not going to restore it???

 

He has always stated he is going to restore it, but I don't think his wife will ever let that happen.

 

hey i do know of one in colorado dont know what he wants but did say he would sell it i talked to him on phone so never did see in person sounds like a builder fornt buckets were gone and motor was locked up dont remember if it was a 4 speed car

 

Thanks starr88. I'll keep it in mind, but we got this one home last night (25 hour day) and there are some things that need to be taken care of on her. I'll be busier than I thought I would, but that's ok.

 

right on bro i didnt see that you found one congrats on the new project this one was in lamar and the old guy is a little wierd but as far as i know its still there so maybe it will be there when or if you need parts good luck on new car

 

I need some help with my cowl tag. Looks like it was a factory bench car (has buckets no console) Curious about the paint code, is it supposed to have 442 stripes? and the E 2ER 33. I have no clue. Any help?

Has a 3.23 10 bolt anti spin, TH400. and correct block and head numbers. I couldn't be happier with it overall.
It needs springs in a bad way, I need to rod out the radiator and lots of little odds and ends. 67sportscoupe008.jpg
