Re: 1971 Lime Green 442 convertible fully restored
Just surfing this morning and saw Jason's '71 listed. I lurk more than I post here at Yenko, but I thought I'd chime in, in case anyone out there is interested in this car.
I've had the opportunity to see this car in person and can vouch for the quality of this restoration. Jason went to lengths I've only seen by the top restorers nationwide to make sure plating was correct, caulk color was a match, % gloss was right on black parts, etc. This guy knows what he's doing.
I'm amazed by how many high dollar cars have "one size fits all" paint dabs, tons of poorly fitting reproduction parts, and sometimes don't run all that well. This one is the opposite and on point in all areas. The dis-assembly of this car had to be incredibly time consuming, as everything was documented and replicated: the spatter paint pattern in the trunk, painted stripe exact location, the afore mentioned caulk color, etc.
If anyone is on the fence about whether to fly or drive in to see this 442, have no reservations. Seriously, no intention to infomercial this car, but it's the real deal.
