77 442 tribute in FL

[ragz442]

Looks real clean and nicely done, good price too, 6k obo. I believe this is the first notchback I've seen with the 442 paint scheme, even has the correct '77 grills.

yeah. thats the first one i've seen. Looks a little weird, could be because i'm used to seeing them as fastbacks.

woah! hmmm.... i kinda dig it. the spoiler makes me gag. wonder where those seats came from. and another black grill. cool.

and keystone classics!!! nothing screams 80's like a good set of keystones (just like Cragers scream 90's and torque-thrusts scream 00s... not that theres anything wrong with any of those rims!)

Interesting. Needs to lose the spoiler. Todd. I just checked out your cardomain. LOVE the red well treatment. I had a white 73 H/O that someone did that to. It looked sharp against the white paint. Just to let you know, I`m jealous. 2 nice rides and working on a third. Oh, and thanks for mentioning my name at the end. :)

Yea, I'm not crazy about the spoiler either. This car belongs to ROP member Captain Jim, looks like he's done alot of work on it. Thanks for the props on my junk. My brother did his '65 wells red so I guess I copied off him, his are steel though. Don't be too jealous, the 442 looks better in the pics than it does in person, not bad from 20 feet I guess. I did the body/paint and interior on the Supreme and the drivetrain on the 442. So now I've got to do the body/paint and interior on the 442 and the drivetain on the Supreme :confused: , it's a never ending battle. I had put that mention on there for you and Tom when I first started my page a couple [few?] years ago. You guys helped me out alot with parts, that at the time, seemed impossible to find. Have you heard from Tom P. at all? Hope he's OK.

No, I have`nt. Seen him at the homecoming a couple years ago. Introduced me to his fiance. I thought, you just got divorced and your stepping into it again ? I did`nt say that ofcoarse. I tried his number and it had been changed. Been wondering about the boy myself.

Haha, Cragers scream 90's and Torque thursts scream 00's. I guess everything old is new again sooner or later.:p Both those wheels remind me of the late 60's, early 70's, Keystones the 70's too. Centerlines or their look alikes is the 80's and Enkies too and Cragers went to the SS/T or the ever popular poor man's Centerline, cheap wire basket wheels with out the wire basket, now those were happening wheels. 90's was aluminum wheels with a flush lug nut cover and at least one cover missing.And of course the 00's Big stupid wheels that make your car look like a shopping cart from Wal-mart. Gotta be the most retarded automotive trend since 70's good times vans.:confused:

early 90s = 3 spoke rims.

late 90s = '5 stars'.
