This is a 1969 Factory built 442 as you can tell by the VIN. The car underwent a full frame off restoration from 2005-2006. The car was stripped to metal and painted in DuPont original color Crimson Red. There were several coats of clear coat applied and it looks great today as you see in the pictures. The interior is original and shows the care the car has had over the years with the expected imperfections. The top is new including rear glass and is in the original factory color of black - it works as it should and there is also a new boot. During the restoration the Hydramatic Transmission was rebuilt and shifts are smooth and hard to detect. The motor was replaced with a 350 V8 during restoration and pulls strong. There are 14880 miles since the restoration. The car has been garage kept. $7500 of receipts from 2011-2015 will accompany the car and include brakes, matching tires at 85-90%, complete brakes, ac compressor and belts - blows cold at 95 degrees, new steering wheel (original comes with the car). NOTE: The stereo is an upgrade Kenwood and sounds great - OEM GM Radios can be found on eBay for $60-$90. All lights and signals work except for the light in the center console. The car will need windshield wiper arms and new blades. New front windshield and all glass is clear. New left and right mirrors as well as door handles. Power Steering and Brakes. Brakes were completely redone including hoses and lines. Compression is good on all cylinders and the car has no smoke - acceleration is instant. At 70 MPH it tracks straight - more importantly it stops straight as an arrow - the brakes are dialed in. New shocks all around and new sway bar, no squeaks or rattles - car is tight. The car is sorted out, it starts without issue the first time, sounds great, drives great and draws crowds and looks everywhere. It has imperfections you would expect from a 46 year old car.
