Excellent entry level /driver quality / hard to find year of muscle car for the money! 1968 442 sports coupe. 400 auto, turbo 400 transmission, 12 bolt posi with factory heavy duty sway bars. 344 VIN, so it is NOT a clone. Matching numbers except forpaint color. Very nice and mostly original black bucket seat interior. Was factory Willow Gold car, paintedred many years ago in what I would guess was acrylic enamel. Previous rust repairs are showing in rear quarters and a small area on the drivers front fender.My plan was (and may still do if it does not sell) to drive the car for a fewsummers just like it is and then eventually do a full blown resto in the correct color.Car is a typical 20 footer, looks great going down theroad.Not a rust bucket by any means but sure not a show piece either, maybe "presentable" describes it best. Lots of stuff out there not as nice for much higher asking pricesthat are not genuine 442 cars.Floors and frame are solid. All of the hard to find post car trim is intact and in decent shape. Glass is all good and all windows roll up and down just fine. Last 6 digits of VIN are stamped on the engine block, transmission has matching numbers as well.I was told that motor was rebuilt but have no receipts, however, motor is very clean, has no leaks and runs / starts great, so I am fairly certain that this claim is true. I just restored the wheels (sandblasted, new correct color paint, new centers) and the tires have less than 100 miles on them. New rear springs and shocks, new carpet. Drives out good, but does have the typical Quadrajet "stumble" if you really try to hammer the accelerator.Only non-functioning item is the wiper motor. The heater core is making a few gurgling sounds at start up, so sooner or later itmay need replaced.Winning bidder pays shipping, inspections, etc. Clean and clear Indianatitle in my name.
