1971 442

Extent of Restoration: Almost a frame-off restoration.

Non-Original Parts: Numerous W-30 spec engine components added including an intake and cam. Also Hedman headers and Rhodes lifters.

Special Comments: Gary is the original owner of this fine-looking 442. He said he drove it hard and then left it sitting in his garage for about 10 years. He gave it 10.5:1 compression, replaced many front end parts and powder coated what he could. Underneath the car received its fair share of attention too, "very clean, all painted, no dirt or grease". The pictures show the paint job Gary gave it in ‘73; the color is close to the original Sienna, but has Gold Pearl mixed in. He says by the time these images are on the web, that it will be repainted to its original color and its original stripes replaced.
