Hey all,
New to your forum and this looks like a great place to enjoy our hobby. Quick question, did anyone see the yellow '67 442 @ the Mecum auction this past week with 12K original miles on it that went for 43K? I used to own one just like it and am looking to purchase another one in the near future. I thought @ first it was awfully high but after giving it some thought I think maybe it was worth even more. This car was gorgeous and a "true survivor". I know that term is way over used but I think this car fit the bill. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Hope to talk with a lot of you in the future.

Yellow with red interior? If so its been on ebay a few times. A red post car went for 45 at B-J fwiw.

Sounds like the same car..any idea what they were trying to get on E-Bay? Seems as though they always reach very high prior to trying the auction route. Wondering how much they might have passed up...?
Thanks Uly 49.....

442's in my opinion do not get the respect they deserve.
I did see that car. I thought that it was worth the $. No question that right now is about as good of time as any to buy what you want.

Totally agree on the "Respect Issue"...A '70 W-30 can pull with the best of them and the quality of the drive is a hell of a lot better than my two E-Body Mopars. I think that car was truly special and a very good buy. Now being a great time to buy is right on the money. I've seen some great cars going for 20-40% less than they commanded just a couple of years ago.
