NO TRADES
Owner purchased the car in 1996 when it had 71,000 miles on the odometer. Restoration was completed in 2001 and has been driven 8,000 miles and has always been kept in a climate-controlled garage. This performance legend is reliable, a pleasure to drive, and solid throughout. A complete photo history of the restoration is included.
The owner changed the colors on the 442 from the original Twilight Blue, blue interior, and white top to Viking Blue, white interior, and white top. All the striping on the 442 has been painted and is underneath the clear coat so you will not feel an edge. No decals.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for since 2002 and maintained a close to a 100% rating during most of that period. Around 2011 I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all of the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
