Default Re: Repro Pontiac round port/Oldsmobile W30 cyl he

Did a resto in 2005 on a 71 442 convert,that was owned by same owner since 1973. I could have convinced him to go wirh ram air and change a lot of stuff,but given his longevity with the car and the known history,we put it back to the way he has always known it. His number 1 request when we started the project was that I locate an original 8 track,to replace the one stolen in Oct 1973. He didn't even want to change to a sport wheel,even though he liked the feel.
So there is at least one 442 out there that has not been altered. Most unaltered cars usually have some ownership history. The rest of the crowd want a car they "would" have ordered.
