Hi guys.

I'm a new member. I have a 65 442. I came across the car at the Portland Ore International raceway at their 3 day swap meet in 1987 or 88. The owner found it in a junk yard under 6 inches of Mount St Helens ash. The car had a 330 two speed tranny and looked like someone was living in it. I dragged the car to Michigan for a job and found a 1966 400 in southeast Ohio. Rebuilt and installed with a TCI TH400. I kept the car like that until around 1991 when I installed a 455 from a 1968. I rebuilt that and sent the heads to Mondello for street/strip work. The car is presently in my garage, it has the TH400 tranny and a Chevy 12 bolt 3.73:1 gears. During the early times, I had the car stripped and painted red $1200 Oregon 1988 prices. Also front and rear seat reupolstered for $600 Oregon 1988 prices. Also I went to Seattle, WA and bought a trailer load of parts from a guy trying to get away from the 65-67 442s. That helped with putting the car back together the way it is supposed to be.

Anyway, happy to be here, hope I can help anyone.

 

Welcome. Sounds like a nice car.

 

Thanks, it's been better. Time to bring it back to life.

BTW, I like your handle. It's funny.
