I love this car. I’ve been doing this my whole life and I’m going to tell you this one is exceptional. Fit, finish and function is awesome. Everything I tried works down to the night watch lights, seatback release, 8-track player, light on the mirror and on and on. The list of options, amount of documentation really sets this 442 apart from the others. The factory colors are highly desirable. I even love how the car sounds, deep and lopey. This could be in the world’s best collection or in your garage. Whoever gets it will not be disappointed.
