Reading the previous "there still out there" post inspired me to share my latest find (more like it found me). This isn't a super car (see attached), but it's kind of a neat story. About a year ago a local resident asked me if I "take care of old cars". I responded by telling the lady that I do restore old cars and she told me that she had a 1968 442 that she bought new in the summer of '68 when she graduated from a local college. She and her husband kept it all of these years in their garage and now she was moving into an apartment (her husband passed away last year). I found the car stacked high with boxes on one side of her two car garage. It has the original drive train and there was very little rust. The paint, however was very tired. I purchased the car and proceded to disassemble it enough to give it the paint job that it deserved. It's going back together now - I have a lot of photos of the car as it was disassembled. Automatic, 442, A/C, yellow with a black interior and a factory white top. I know that it's hard to believe that this car stayed hidden for all of these years, but I have the original owner's phone number for any "doubting Thomases" out there!
