Got the the post coupe 442 from California. For a California car it sure is rusted in places, certainly wasn't a garage kept car. The trunk, rear window shelf, and passenger front floor board are toast. The frame, fenders, doors, and rear quarters are solid. The top of the left rear body has a rust hole, very strange place to rust. I'm striping the interior and will pull the engine and tranny before putting the car in the storage barn. It still has the "B" block with "A" heads but the intake and carb are '68 or '69. The original a/c fan shroud and radiator were in the trunk so that's cool. The rear is a SF, 3:23 posi. The bumpers are in great shape for a rechrome. Hood and side moldings are very good condition, but rear tail lights and panel have lots of pits started. Car was side swiped on the right side but very repairable. Overall I'm happy with the car, seems to have most of the options except upper side molding, deluxe steering wheel and floor shift. Lots of original paper work including dealer sales stuff, car sold for $2,433.74 new according to the receipt. Seems low for that car!
