I think the '70 to '72 442's are great. The ram air hood is one of the best ever placed on a car and the torque of the monster 455 will smoke the tires.

I would stay away from clones and trendy customs from an investment standpoint.

Not judging.... just stating a fact..... but what you did was driven by greed.... pure and simple.... nevertheless... it was your car to do with as you please...

Back in 2005 I bought a '71 T/A for cheap. It was an all #'s matching born with... 455 HO. The car was complete and had all the right parts... carb, scoop... fenders etc... but sat outside untouched for 23 years.... I ended up selling the car for 8or9 grand.... I could've easily parted it out and probably stuck 12-13k or more in my pocket.... but couldn't bring myself to rip that car apart for a few extra dollars....

BTW - I'm a car dealer by trade....

An SS El Camino is a lot less money than a comparable Chevelle, so that might be an option to get into a nice muscle car for less.

Yup. Still the fastest stock appearing 4-seat musclecar I've ever been in. She was a brute. Engine was full of TA Performance stuff and built by S&amp;S in Ottawa to the tune of 520 ponies with the 950 Holley DP, Tom Rix original Stage1 transmission that was &quot;breathed on&quot; for serious kick-in-the-back upshifts with the GS Club of America's blueprinted torque converter, 12-bolt with strange axles and moroso brute strength posi unit, 3&quot; exhaust from torque technologies, ...breathtakingly fast car

yes the undercarriage, engine bay and trunk cosmetics were in need of attention but she was solid - factory code 19 black, non-A/C car
