The 350 CID engine runs quiet with no ticks or noise, and does not leak or burn any oil.
The drive shaft just had two new universal joints and was spin balanced.
4 new BF Goodrich Radial TA tires 245-60-14 with less than 100 miles on them. The front end was aligned when tires were installed. The old tires were dry rotted from sitting, so I replaced them.
All new dual exhaust with factory style mufflers. New exhaust manifold gaskets were installed at the time. The car runs quiet!
The transmission has recently been serviced, there are no issues.
New wiper blades were installed.
All interior lights work as they should.
The outside rear axle bearings were just replaced along with changing the fluid in the rear differential. Posi additive was included.
The heater fan blows strong and quiet, the heat works excellent. The horn blows, the cigarette lighter works, the wipers wipe and all components work as they should.
All four coil springs are new, along with all new front end components.
The glass is all in very good to excellent condition.
This car retains all of its original rust free panels.
Dependable enough to drive across country.
The convertible top is the factory installed color of black, it has been replaced and is in excellent condition. The seals and pads were also replaced.
Completely rust free undercarriage and frame. The floors are in solid original condition with no signs of rust.
The seat belt buzzer sounds if the seat belt is not connected when the car is put in gear.
The key buzzer sounds when the key is installed.
This is an amazing car with no disappointments.
This 442 is a beautiful car, not a Daily Driver, but can certainly be driven regularly on nice days.
It is an extremely well-maintained original vehicle, completely operable and in very good overall condition.
The exterior paint, trim and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The paint does show some normal wear (patina), however this only adds to the originality of the car. This would only require minor touch-ups if desired, however I wouldn't change a thing.
The interior is in excellent condition.
Low production car, approximately 1042 produced.
I would value this car at $36000, and I have it insured through State Farm to that amount.
Best of luck!
Mike
