Default '68 442 Convertible, #s 400/3-sp Stick, Docs

Sounds like the original owner owned this one until a couple of years ago. Worthless description and pictures, but there's enough info here that I'd be reaching out to the seller if I were in the market. Sounds like a really nice, well kept car, with the exception of that parts-store master cylinder which is triggering my OCD....

Is that a factory color on those cars, or is it another example of the ubiquitous "resale red"?

My guess is resale red.

Agreed, or the white balance is out of whack!

I have to check the VIN... this could be my former 442 which I purchased from the original owner. Sold it because a Vette became available I had been chasing. It was a red/black (original green/black) 3 speed manual convertible. The guy I sold it to fluffed the engine compartment and sold it months later.

Confirmed it is our old car.

It's an excellent driver (at least it was at the time when we owned it). Not the original colors and some other upgrades I recall that the original owners family wanted to make while the car was in "restoration".

Hope the next buyer does their research and the seller is honest.

Best,
Dave

Here's a pic of the car circa 1968 with the original owners.

Best,

Love the lettering on the side of the car in the 1968 picture
