That '70 442 Convertible that sold yesterday for $70k had an all aluminum 455 and the W27 alloy 12 bolt under it. Seemed really cheap for a supposed experimental 442. $350k for that one above HAS to be a record or something.

I've only watched 4-5 hours of it this year while working in the garage. I observed every stupid Shelby GT500 ever made trying to make a buck on the legacy, and guys taking baths on mid year vettes with ls motors in them. Gotta give it to BJ in that they do bring some serious metal to the block, but it still gives off a shady vibe to me. Can't stand Mike Joy's general lack of knowledge regarding anything modified and everything being labeled a restomod. I of course will continue to watch it every year and remain critical of it.
