Factory aluminum intake manifold. “GA” heads. Factory high performance W and Z exhaust manifolds. No smoking or leaking. Runs fine. I am in the process of building a scary fast spare Olds 455 with Ka heads (new SRP forged pistons etc. ) that I was going to put in the bay so I could beat on it without endangering a numbers matching engine. Transmission: GM’s bullet proof Turbo 400. with aggressive shift kit. Works as it should. Interior: Nice . Black bench. so your honey can slide all the way over and snuggle. In overall good shape. with the exception of some splits in the front bench. A new cover is reproduced. Original mats. All belts in place. Dash with factory radio (not working). In 1972. the Rally Pac was no longer part of the W30 package and whoever ordered this one did not realize that: it comes with idiot lights and aftermarket gauges. Body and Paint: Southern car; dry; straight. Very nice underside. Body is believed to be the original sheet metal. and nice. Gaps line up nice; no waves. Door dimple on passenger side. Paint is older repaint. nbsp; now showing a little wear. but nice overall and completely respectable. Typical minor stress cracks at cold air intake on OAI hood. Wheels and tires: Comes with two sets: the original 14 inch SSIIIs. color coded to body. and these 15 inch SSII with essentially new BFGs. 235/60/R15 fronts. 275/60/R15 backs. Suspension: New front springs and KYB shocks. Power steering. power disc brakes. all work well. Tight. Miscellaneous: Why am I selling? To make room for another hot rod. Can one drive this 442 to ________? It’s an old car. so there’s no telling. I drove it from Houston to Austin (three hours in 100 degree weather) and it felt solid. Thanks. /p> Chris 512-426-2809
