My 86 442

[Blew86442]

I bought this car a couple months ago. I am actually in the process of stripping it down to bare metal. Of course back to factory colors! It has very minimal body flaws other than a passenger door that was hit and repaired(Had a bout a half of gallon of filler on it, looked good though haha). I picked up a clean door locally to replace it with though.

Its kind of odd how acquired this car. The guy I bought it from ,took it for pay for concrete work he had done for the previous owner. Confusing, I know. So I don't know exactly what the internals of the engine are. But it has a SBC (don't kill me for not having an olds motor in it!) Speed demon 650 carb, dual plane intake, hump back heads, built 200 r4 transmission, dual exhaust with H pipe, aluminum radiator, dual electric fans. This car scoots! I haven't taken it to the track yet, but it feels about like a 13 sec car. I sure enjoy this car so far!

And he also included the original HO 307 and trans and all accessories except for the dual snorkel intake(grrrrr)

It's not going back to stock for now, maybe never......I want to have some decent power at hand. Maybe a 455 in its future though.

iirc weren't the 86 442's limited production #'s or was that a white 86 442?

All 85-87 442's were limited production. There were only a little more than 11 thousand made TOTAL.
