New 442

[oa5599]

Hi all! Always pined for an SS or a 442, and this past week snagged one. 1987 442 in almost 100% stock condition save for the radio (which will go back to at least stock looking I think).
Got a couple small mechanical things to address, with some under dash knocking and some need for replacement parts here and there just to keep her going. Excited to finally join the G Body team after decades of waiting.

Thanks!
This was a fun find after shimmying the tape deck in the center console.

Is that deck removable so I can have more storage space?

Yes, you should just be able to pull it out and have a regular console spot. IIRC, you can just open up a couple of the tape slots in the center and use your fingers to get up under the top panel and give it a good tug. Should pop right out. Not supposed to be any screws or anything.
