I was Built in Linden New Jersey but later moved to New York. Here I cruised the streets and gave other muscle cars a run for there money. My original owner sold me in 1970. My new owner used me for a couple of years but then decided to garage me in 1975. For nine years I would sit untouched in a garage. In 1984 my owner gave me a surprise. He registered me and took me for a ride up into the country. Little did I know that when I got up there I would spend another 23 years garaged.
One day a man came in and looked at me, later he would buy me. This new owner thinks sitting in a garage and not being used is crazy. I am finally on the road again and “This is why I’m here today”

Sound Clip of my 442. Original exhaust system.
