Only 442 I would take is a mid/late 80's one. Sure they were slow, but they were 10 times better looking. And anything can be made fast.

Any 442 from '68 to '71 is

Any other year, not so much IMO.

Yes, a 70 convertable with the 455 and a 4 speed would do nicely.

The GM A-body 68-72 is my favorite muscle platform. I've gone through 3 of them.

I can make that seemingly ungainly turd perform utter ballet with a fucking stick.

Yeah, whenever I get the time and money I'm gonna make this a bit more like the 442. Hood/decklid/bumpers, might even drop in the 455 Rocket. We shall see when the time comes.

Hrm I'm in the market for some mid eighties american muscle. Looking for a distinctly different flavor though

WTF American muscle was there in the 80's?

Everything had fucking EGR on it. It was not a good time for muscle.

Even the Vette was doing 18 second quarters, and taking it in the ass from Country Squire station wagons of just a few years prior.
