  1. 1969 442 that was written off and totaled, abused, nicked, scraped, torn, bloodied and ignored by many previous owners. It was reborn in Clearwater Florida last week with the correct 400CI, headers, M21 close ratio Hurst and 391 axle. Daughter calls it "Sweet Licorice"

  2. Detailed, tight, recently serviced, correct 400CI, 350hp, no leaks, no smoke, headers, new Flowmasters, new clutch, factory M-21 close ratio 4 speed, Factory 3:91, Clean interior, new carpet, new tires, 15" Coker retro wheels.

    It wasn't all original when I bought it from another OCA member. I corrected or repaired everything I could. Still needs the cosmetics. Reliable, sweet running, neck snapping performance. E-mail for pics. $11,950. Located Austin TX grin.gifblush.gifgrin.gif

  3. Originally given to my son as a reward for quiting smoking. He hasn't, so the car goes. Recently serviced 455CI engine and Turbo transmission. Recent engine rear seal, master brake cylinder replaced, two new rear wheel seals, new alternator and voltage regulator.Detailed engine and trunk. Bright red with a white top, wirehubcaps, PS,PB, factory air, power windows and custom fawn yinyl bucket seat[in an 88?-holy cow!] interior and door panels. New coco brown carpet. Top and passenger window motors need repair/replacement.{Top can be lifted manually}. Air works but is unassembled. Fun car-Draws lots of attention. Never mind- sold it already.

  4. Solved my own problem so I'll pass it along. The plastic heater shroud inside the car is attached to the plastic fan shroud under the hood through the firewall. One bolts to the other through the wall. Undo the bolts under the hood and the inside shroud will come away but there is also linkage on top that needs to come apart. The heater core is now accessable. In preparation,remove the short water hose from the top of the mamafold and route the long water hose from the block back into the block where you just removed the short hose. This allows you to drive the car with no heater.

  5. Water is leaking from the heater core area into the interior and under the hood at the firewall. I can't tell if it's the core, a seal,or a hose. Is the core removed from the inside or from under the hood? The interior housing appears to have rivets into the firewall. There are bolts holding the fan shroud under the hood. I've rerouted the hoses to isolate the core, but I can't see a path to get at it. My Xeroxed assemble manual isn't specific enough. Thanks

  6. Look at NADA Site on "Special Sites" in our General forum: If it has no special options, and the numbers did match,

    Low retail=$8725

    Average retail= $14575

    High retail=$21550

    Non matching numbers will be less. Options increase value.
