Who needs a new 442/ H/O project?

[Steveshow]

The GBOTM contest entries got me reminiscing about a black 79 H/O I passed on (regrettably) around twenty years ago. I got to poking around on the internet using Search Tempest to see what would come up. There was nothing in my area, but I came across a few...

Here is the first one:

Barn find prices to go along with them..... Thanks for depressing me.

The next one isn't much of a project at all, but anyone who has restored a car knows that they would probably be money ahead with this one, especially with G bodys, being they aren't very well supported in the aftermarket, like a Mustang, Camaro or Chevelle. It looks to me like it needs a paint job, and may be a little overpriced, IMO...

The last one looks as if it requires no "labor" other than from your check writing hand... Their asking price is pretty steep, but as they say "they aren't making these any more..."

Well the prices aren't totally ridiculous but that 86 442 is worth $100 without the rear axle in my books. Again, you are better off buying a very nice car for a few dollars more, deals are still out there. I could have picked up a nice 87 442 for under 5 grand. Of course the next guy was selling it for the same price but with bonus rust, glad I didn't go to buy, that knocked the price in 1/2 in my books.
