Here are some pics. As you can tell it is not the original color but there are spots. There are a few rust spots that need to be addressed. Additionally after about an hour of driving it died so it is currently sitting at a Walmart parking lot. Hoping I just flooded it. Will try to start again later.

Turned out to be an ignition coil. Had my local shop fix it while at work. After work took it around for about 2 hours and had no further issues. Next step will be getting a manual so I can work on it myself. Whole point of buying the car was to learn how to work and tinker with it. This 442 owner could not be happier.
Diego. Yeah I think the Ebony black will be awesome. Personally most of the 442 colors are great. I think my favorite though was the darker green. Not sure what the actual color name is though

Sherwood green I believe for 70. Welcome to CO, sharp ride.
Finding that broadcast sheet was key. Good luck with your 442. Be sure to talk with others about their 442 experiences, high and lows, and the light at the end of the tunnel.
