That is one helluva deal. And Green is my color! The biggest hurdle here is logistics. If that car and all the components weren't so darn far away it would be in my garage going back together. If you have a way to finish the project, I would recommend it; selling a car in pieces is hard to do and even harder to get any kind of money for it. You're right!!! All the hard work does appear to be done and it looks like it's downhill from here (there). I don't know if Thornton would buy something without the original drivetrain and a restoration that they did not perform from start to finish---I guess all it involves is a phone call. Anyway, good luck with whatevere road you choose.

Thanks DW31S! Logistic does seem to be a factor for most people. IF I had 10K laying around I certainly finsh the car. It would be a super easy finsh...FYI. The drivetrain is all orginal with the orginal trans, drivetrain (drive shift) and rear-end. The most expensive redo was the rear-end rebuild itself. If I know Thornton they would start back at the bottom and rebuild back to there spec's. One thing I shouldn't have done is power coat all the parts/engine parts in glossy black. Should have the proper orginal was semi or flat black.

Still pondering this one........................

Re: 1970 Olds 442 Convertible
 

DW31S! I do have all the bumpers straighten and rechromed which was NOT cheap. Many extra parts and also two extra doors. All new brake lines (inline tube) All new trans lines...Correct rims and painted to color. New tires as well.

Re: 1970 Olds 442 Convertible
 

Tons of calls, but no takers. I would consider cash plus a trade....
