This 442 revels in its vintage history, right down to the 8-Track radio on display and the factory-simulated makings in the engine bay. But what's really a lot of fun is how this drop-top is also subtly upgraded to be a more fun cruiser. It already has nice factory-style features that you don't get on other power cars, like a tilt steering column and power windows. But if you looked close enough, you also picked up on some worthwhile details. The LED headlights make it nicer to start those pre-dawn Sunday drives. The classic redline tires hide a modern tread for better grip. And the head/exhaust package opens up more of the V8 power with an even more invigorating tune. So it's great to have a numbers-matching 442, but it's even better to have it all in this driver-focused drop-top. Call today!!!
