Hello from NH

Hi everyone- I have a 1971 442, I bought this car a few years ago, it was in a driveway in Maine, he had taken it out of storage that morning and had to sell it because he was unemployed and needed the cash. He had owned it for around 20 years, now its my turn! Carl

Welcome to the site Carl. Congrats on your purchase, post some pictures when you get a chance. What kind of shape is it in?

Welcome to the site!

So what are the plans for this car? You've had a little time to think about it. Will it be mild or wild?

Hi Guys, When I got the car first thing I did was to check the camshaft,, #7 exhaust lobe was gone- I installed a new came just to get it so I could drive it-last spring I removed the engine and had it rebuilt, new center force clutch and a bunch of tweaking on the carb-and headers--here's one picture
