Some dude drove in from Lansing and bought it, maybe 1 1/2 hour drive from the house. I know it took a lot longer going home, 433's don't get you anywhere on the freeway. ;D 4:33's, man I thought my 4:10 was bad, I can't imagine driving a car with 4:33's on the highway. That's the main reason I want to change mine to something a little more mild, maybe a 3:73. If I could find a 3:55 that didn't cost 3 arms and 2 legs maybe I would. I have a profile, but here is another one of my car since you asked. Mike, very very very nice. Curious, what kind of plate is that?

Here's a few more I have collected over the years. How about this for baby blue! Now that baby blue is really nice too. Is that an Arizona plate?

This is what mine would look like if I painted it original, which isn't going to happen. It's almost suffer-able but No.

4:33's were the only way to go back in the 60's & 70's. We wern't cruising down a highway, as a matter of fact we hadn't even heard of a cruise. Our cruises were filling up with 260 twice a night just to hit all the local drive-ins to pick up a run or two. We were street racing and the deep gears got it done.

Mine was nasty fast until about 95 and then that was all she wrote, had to take the ladder bars off, started to crack the frame were they bolted on up front. Also had a body crack in the back corner of the convertible well, same side as the frame crack. Ah, it was fun, had a 455 400 Toro motor in it with a heavily polished set of heads and torquer intake. The good old days.

Mike, very very very nice. Curious, what kind of plate is that? Now that baby blue is really nice too. Is that an Arizona plate? Yep, that is an Arizona "Historical Vehicle" plate. It looks like it is copper (since AZ is the Copper State), but it’s not actually made out of copper. The guy I bought the car from just had it shipped to Delaware from AZ during a move. His wife fell in love with a bigger house when they moved and he had to sell the 442 to help fund the down payment. Just my luck!
