    What part of the country are you in? Have you check out realoldspower.com? I've seen some interesting deals on Craigslist.com too.

    Thanx John and both of you other guys below John . That 442 website could be a help ... John I did see that car but I am looking for the real deal , original condition or restored and unmodified in anyway . A4 speed car would be nice but the right automatic car would be great also .

    Alot of clones and incorrect engines , incorrect repaints , headers , cut up interior etc . are out there . I have been looking for awhile now and will keep looking till we find one .

    Thanx everyone for your help .... We will find one .

    Thanx again , :laugh: :laugh: :TU:

    Hi Bruce

    I posted an ad on 442.com a few months ago looking for the 69 W32 I used to own. Not only did I find it but received a number of leads for various 442's too. Their site is very helpful and reminds of this one with good folks willing to help out a fellow hobbyist.

    Good luck!

    On Ebay now

    Hi David , We hate to part with the '56 but we can't keep them all . The garage is full now with 1 over at Marks garage now . I have wanted a 442 for years and I believe it will be a good idea to buy one now . The prices keep going up and up .

    The '56 is one VERY nice car . It will be missed believe me .

    Why do I feel a good butt chewing coming ........ :Dou: :pp

    Dave,

    I just gave him a 12 cent / hour raise, what more could a person ask for. :Dou: Plus he only has to work 6 days a week now, so he gets a full day off :Do No:
