Vehicle Description
This matching-numbers 1972 442 convertible is one of 1,171 produced
and is documented with two Broadcast Sheets listing the W29 option,
proving it's a true 442. It is powered by its original 350ci
8-cylinder engine backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. The
"M" in the VIN number confirms it is an original 350ci 4-barrel car
with dual exhaust. Upon completion of the restoration it was shown
at AACA National Meet in Hershey, PA, in October 2016 and earned a
First Place award in its class. Original paperwork from 1972 is
still with the car, including the two Broadcast Sheets,
Protect-O-Plate, owner's manual, vehicle warranty, letter from the
dealership manager thanking the owner for their purchase,
pre-delivery checklist and various mechanical invoices. Coming from
Oklahoma, the car was rust-free and all original. The exhaust pipes
on the car are the original exhaust pipes and were ceramic-coated
to preserve them, and trumpet tips were added. This beauty is
loaded with options, including the Thornton steel-frame Ram Air
hood that was added in 2016 during the frame-off restoration. Other
options include SSI wheels, Goodyear Polyglas tires, Sunfire Yellow
paint, white interior, bucket seats, console, power steering, power
disc brakes, sport steering wheel, Quadrajet carburetor, AM/FM
stereo, sport mirrors and hand-painted factory 442 stripes. The
concours, frame-off rotisserie restoration was completed in
September 2016 and the car has been driven less than 200 miles
since its completion. Hemmings Muscle Machines featured the car on
the cover in September 2017 with an extensive article about the
restoration in the Restoration Profile section of the magazine.
