Well took a real ride in the 442 . First time I took to a gas station in 20 some odd years . Loaded kids popped t tops and took a 12 mile round trip ride (add about 4-5 sitting still
). Yes its not a big ride but no inspection /tags dated 93 .
Still runs OK slight hesitation . Still barks the tires 1st to 2nd . Still lays those sweet dual black marks . As always The first turn at 55 MPH I scared myself . Going from 250000 miles 94 truck to close ration steering is a big difference.
Checked it out well . Other than normal gaskets ,seems oil gauge pegs , All is ok . The brakes checked out OK no hanging up or froze when checked .
Interior inner trim on seat is broke how not a clue. Head liner And ashtray door scuffed all else Like new .
All trim needs polished up . Wheels will clean fine just some light pitting .
Hope to get it out with classic plates soon.
Boy I can't wait for the new phone lines so I can post up some pics.
