I sold around a year and a half ago a 1979 Hurst Olds, original paint 48,000 mile vehicle. I was nauseous when it drove away as I knew how rare these were and it really ran good.
Around 4 months ago I got a call from a customer who told me there was a 1980 black/gold 442 15 miles away for sale. I said your blanking me for this reason. There is another one sitting behind a transmission shop for 25 years that I'd been trying to buy for around 10. It's in tough tough shape but complete. So the chances of 2 1980 442's in same area is quite unlikely since 886 were built.
The one I bought is original paint - original interior and the previous owner who had owned it for 3 decades had intentions of restoring. A year ago he had gathered up interior parts etc. Installed a brand new windshield - rebuilt 350 rocket from a 70 Cutlass - rebuilt transmission - brakes - tires - radiator - fuel pump - carburetor etc. etc. This runs awesome. I couldn't buy it fast enough to say the least and GOT REALLY LUCKY to come across one after selling my Hurst Olds. So here it is.
