Bought her from a Father/Son team who had gotten her from the son's cokehead friend.  Interesting problems arise when you get a cokehead's car.  He had sold the AC unit and hood hinges for drugs.  (The hood hinges only fit 68 Cutlasses and 442's)  His ex-girlfriend went after his nuts during the breakup by stealing all the 442 emblems off the entire car.  Thank God for VIN numbers.  Original 400 motor is gone, replaced with a 455 that has half the VIN sheared off the side.  (I can only estimate its build, so going off the heads (IF they are original) its between a 70-72)  Oh, and he tried to make his own harness with kill switch when he wired it for HEI.  So it starts, but doesn't run.  And there are home speakers and wires for the sound system.  Also, there is a horrible hack job of putting new quarter panels on where the kid RIVETED the new ones on at the sail panel.

What can I say?  I'm a sucker for a tight rear.

Brian, what a great story behind your 442. I can tell you are determined to stuff this up the previous owner's butt with a slow and thumpy drive by some day! You are making great progress, keep on going because you have one hell of a 442 here, and it's been waiting for you to come along to bring it back to life (Exile is a perfect name by the way). Oh, and that guy that was yelling at you? I'm sure it was encouragement ;) Keep us posted on your progress, I want to follow this one because I can see you have the passion, and that passion always makes for incredible restorations!! It may take a lot longer than you want it to, and cost alot more than you expect it to, but man, it is gonna be worth it. Just remember, hang in there, Exile needs you! 5 Stars Brian, you're making great headway!
