Default Re: 1970 442 Convertible Project

Get out your checkbook would be the first step, Stefano! Actually, first would be assessing what is needed and what the availability is of those needed items. I think you'd spend quite a bit of time and money doing that car to the standard required for the six figure sale price. A 1970 4-speed 442 Conv. is certainly a desirable unit and would sell rather easily when finished. However, that car looks pretty bad and you might spend more on the restoration than the selling price would realize. If the work was done as a hobby, where the price of labor was insignificant, a "labor of love" if you will, then it might make sense. This is the "perfect candidate" for the worst six letters in the car hobby.....rebody. I really hate to say it, but as of now, a '70-'72 Cutlass/442 Conv. body isn't available new like a Camaro or Mustang is, so a rust free donor is almost a necessity.
