This is a real 442 verified right in the vin. It has it's #s
matching motor and trans. Only 1,304 convertibles were made.

found a few small bubbles on the passenger door. The ram air hood
fits very well. Repainted its original Sienna metallic color. It is
laid out evenly and has a smooth glossy finish. Painted on 442
stripes. The bumpers were rechromed, emblems replaced. New

were reupholstered, door panels were replaced, carpet was replaced
and has embroidered mats. The dash area is very good. It has rally
pac gauges and a tic-toc-tachometer. It also has an original stereo
upgrade with modern internals including Bluetooth. A sport wheel
and center console add to the fun. Complete set of seatbelts.

in 2019 with some performance upgrades. We have the detailed
invoice totaling $13,208. Inside is a new crank, bearings a Comp

justify!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
