What do y'all think of this rusted out 442?

Anytime I see a cheap junked up 442 I have to look at it. There aren't many 442s left but restoration isn't always possible, and I think this one is beyond saving ...and my wife agrees.

What do y'all think?

 

It's worth about $100 for the occasional part that you might use the restoration of another sample.

The vin plate might be worth having if you are compiling 6 or 7 cars similar to this. Although since the glass is gone, the plate may be already gone too?

If you have a dry barn, lots of time, skill, OE manuals, tools and a wagon full 'o cash, as well as access to several hulls like this, you might make a runner by combining all of them.

Problem is the material/odd parts alone will cost way more than the finished product is worth, unless you are just making an emotional build.

 

My thoughts exactly. No way I'd pay $1000 for it. I think this one is to far gone for me and my wallet to fix.

 

It's way to far gone unfortunately

 

Wow that's worse than I expected to see.

If that's all one could afford to start with, and it was a long term project for a tinkerer to tinker with, then sure.

That is about as fuckered as they come without being in a fire, but all that aside.. I've seen more than one stripped out, rusted to shit, parts car turned into a show stopper. Not everybody can afford the nicer shit to start with, so they work with what they get.

Check your skills before your wallet, and proceed as you wish!

 

Maybe...?
