There was/is an 85 442 moonroof car out there that's been various places on the 'net, black with vinyl burgundy interior, ultra low mileage, and in beautiful condition.
No idea if it ever sold, they wanted $30K + for it. For me, it'd be a stretch to go $25 on this car.
Very nice example, however, while perusing pictures of the car, I ran across this....
The paperwork, VIN, and everything else on this car says 442. The emission decal, however, does not.
SBF is a VIN Y 307 emissions label. If this car is factory original, which it appears to be, the emission label is the wrong one. It should have SBJ code on it. I know this because one, the label part number is wrong for a federal emission 442, as well as showing the vacuum routing with an ILC, which the 442 uses an electric idle kick up solenoid instead. I doubt if they replaced the label. It seems it's JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF QUALITY 80's GM BUILDS. Which sucked. A weird oddity. Doubt anyone else would have picked up on that, but hey, I've looked at many of these, and I knew right away something was up with this.
