I knew guys with 442’s, Cutlasses, shoot one guy in the town had a 69 Mach 1 or Fastback (can’t remember) with 390 - he wanted $1500 - it was good shape.
A few years later met a guy working at a gas station driving a 1970 Boss 302 4-speed - no shaker or stripes though. He wanted $3000 which was probably $2000 or $2500 more money than I had (was still making payments on my 78 Trans Am).
A couple months later saw him and asked about the car - he slid it into a telephone pole in the rain - sideways - and bent the unibody.
My first car was a 1968 442. It had been my mom's car. Mom liked it, but gave it to me when she wanted a new car. She got a Buick Regal.
