In 1973 4,165 442's were built with U Engine Code(455 motor). Of that only a hand-full had this color combination with the factory sun roof. Truly a rare 422.
Yes I have a 2002 Viper with same color combo. I did not plan it that way. I owned the Viper before I bought the 442 from my father in-law it just happened to have the same colors. Pretty freaky.
Would I sell my 442? Everything is for sale if the price is right. Make me an offer. I have over 10K invested in the motor alone.
