All 442 means is four barrel, four speed and dual exhaust (442), a formidable car, but still a 350 IIRC.
I think he's looking at a "Chevelle" not a "Chevelle SS 396" which is a very different animal.
BTW, I'd look very, very closely at the vinyl roof. Most these days have lots and lots of rust.

Plenty of 442 were sold with Automatics. Probably more then with 4 speeds, they came standard with the Turbo-Hydramatics after about 65 or 66. They later 442's had 400 ci motors and 455's in 1970. THe really hot package was the W30 package cars. Those cars ran pretty hard.
