Is the 64 442 a Fremont, Ca. car ? I have $5500 for it.

You sure you want to buy this heap? I think it's a Fremont car. I need to look at the cowl tag again...
I can sell you the 442 by itself for 5500. And I know I will someday really regret doing that.

I agree you will any one truly wanting to restore that 442 will want to have that cutlass as a parts car as these cars do not have much in the repop parts unless they already have a stock of parts I spent well over 5000 in parts

Looking at pics of the 442 air cleaner. Are the valve covers on the wrong side I'm lost. I always see the Calif. 442 air cleaner with breather out the pass. side of snorkel. And 49 State out the same side as Calif. so could you look at the inside of the 442 cleaner to make sure its not fake.

Just looked at some old pics I have of the 49 State and Calif. the valve cover is wrong on the driver side the breather goes to the air cleaner from the valve cover. I think I'll pass some thing is wrong.

I might help you out on one 65 442 I am looking for one I'm in calif. Auto or stick no air cars.

I already sold my '65. I remember the air cleaner making no sense to me when I researched the car, but I don't remember exactly what I found out!! If I remember correctly, I was puzzled why it had a California air cleaner...and that must mean it is not a Fremont car if I was wondering that. Make sure you read the info on that ultra-high-compression link in the ad; it explains actual frame stamping that ONLY '64 442s got.

CRH

If anyone really wants the 442 by itself, be sure to check the pics and details. The air cleaner is NOT fake, and yes, people do make them.

The pictures show all of the bad spots, which is what I like to see when buying a project car.

I hate to sell the 442 by itself, but I will. I won't, however, sell just the Cutlass first. I don't have the drive and energy to find another gold mine "parts" car if I keep the 442.

pm sent. Understand fully about "drive and energy"

One crappy side note:
I live in a very dry climate, and 3 miles from my current house (where I used to live) we had no wind. I always kept my projects outside under piles of tarps and they were protected well.
Now, living just 3 miles away (past 6 years), water has actually condensed a bit under my taps.

Could it be the canyon wind? We get wind all night, every night. And I have way less shade... It just sucks because I'm finding flash rust on the roof of my '64 GTO project that I keep on the south end of my shop, and same flash rust on the Cutlass roof. Both areas get direct sunlight at least for part of the day. Both cars have been stored here for 5 years. Rust isn't bad, but annoying!

Tarps fall apart much quicker here, too.

I know I've been told tarps trap moisture, but all the years of living at my other house didn't give me this issue...

Buy these before they crumble away to mother earth!

Do your civic duty to American car history!

CRH

Still here...

CRH

I would consider trading them for a 1960 Ventura...

CRH

Get these clunkers out of here!!!

They need a loving owner...

oldstata

Wow what a make over on the 65

man an I wish I had the room and funds for your 64

CRH

Notice I already deleted that post! I realized the BIG pic showed his plate number, and figured that might not be cool without his permission.

It is good to see he has the '65 442 all fixed up and on the road now.

oldstata

When I started to type it was there and then after it was gone lol

I did did notice the 65 plate on there, I also bought a set for my 65


Hint Hint I have a set of 64 that would look good on a new project of mine.

Anyways I been keeping a eye on these as there just down south 30 min or so if me just need more money

CRH

I hear you.
I was just going through your restoration posts...
Good job! And family helping out, that is cool.

oldstata

Thanks,

the family has been great with a helping hand

i really wanted your 65 you just sold it to fast so I took the money and built my clone not as cool but close

the 64 of yours is going to be a jaw dropper one day

CRH

This picture is safer...less complete, though. You can still see one of the Chevy rally wheels it sat on when I sold it to him.

As for the two '64s: Someone, anyone, please adopt these before they slowly rust down into the form of two Ford Mustangs. Oh the humanity!

I would still trade for a running, driving 1960 Ventura 2DHT in good shape.

I would also consider a Hardinge HLV lathe...

Buy! Buy! Buy!

Napoleon Solo

I gots ta finish mine first!!

CRH

If you are reading this ad:

Carefully read through the details about the 442 being real, and the Cutlass being 99% rust free and 99.999999% original, with amazing interior.

Adopt these cars! Get all of the extra pieces, also!

I lose sleep at night thinking how they will deteriorate for the next 20 years until I get around to restoring them...

I have way too many projects, and they are honestly stressing me out. As much as I hated the idea of getting rid of some of my hoarding projects, it has been liberating to do so the past few years.

CRH

Maybe I'll make a yard sculpture out of the two.

Or demolition derby...???

Save these cars! You know it's the right thing to do!

oldstata

nooooo trade me my Subaru Forester for both before doing that lol
I am surprised these haven't sold

CRH

I'm surprised too! I have been totally lazy, though. I only advertise them here, and I never even add meaningful info to the forum.

I'm finally thinking of eBay, though I dread it.

Napoleon Solo

I absolutely want them but I'm just not there yet...
Of course 'wanting' doesn't put fuel in your truck.

oldstata

I want them too lol and I am only 30 min away from them what could have been if I would have found these before my 65 lol


offer still stands 04 forester xt with tastefull mods lol

CRH

Finally sold!

Asusport

Congrats!
