Damn shame someone let that one go like that... When I think "mid 80's 442" thats the exact car that pops in my mind.. T-Tops, Buckets, Gray/Gray...

If anything, the power seats, bucket seat tracks, console, 442 emblems/goodies, and dash will probably get you your money back.

Nice score!

The C&C t-tops are worth probably more than GM ones since much harder to come by for parts, make sure to save all of that and probably trim/brackets, whatever off the roof.

Sorry, you are right. I was thinking 87 for some reason. Either way that date pad tells what year and if it matches the car's VIN.

I'm guessing there's no title cuz maybe stole-Jersey, what?!

Hehe. I have bought 442's without a title. I did my homework though and had my buddy detective run the numbers before buying it. Definitely a weird feeling buying a car without a title but it drove the prices down. I had to pay for bond to get it titled.

Damn, man, where's all the rust? Looks clean from here. I might be interested in the back roof and quarter windows if you cut it up. I need to do a hardtop conversion.

You have an ‘81-88 body style? Project Spare Parts is different in the quarter windows. Or are ya gonna replace the entire rear roof??
