November 21, 201312 yr Author Thanks, everyone. We're thrilled with it so far. We have a few minor things left to do (taillight and parking light lenses, hooking up the speedo cable, doing a full engine detail, installing a factory sport steering wheel to replace the awful Grant GT one, and fixing the $h!ty coil spring bushings) but she's about 90 percent finished. That reminds me, these pics were pre-exhaust (so there's duals running out from underneath the bumper now). Runs and drives like champ and really turns heads. I got one of dem : What's the story with this fella? Edited November 21, 201312 yr by black-knight
November 21, 201312 yr Author Here are a few pics of what it looked like before, just for reference sake. It took pulling a few teeth to dig these up. This is what the car looked like in September of '08 when it was hauled out of Tennessee. Notice the completely retarded 3" exhaust. Hope no one here uses 56k (and if so, it's 2013; what the hell is wrong with you?).
November 21, 201312 yr I got one of dem : What's the story with this fella? '72 Cutlass S by VIN (442 was option again beginning in '71), this is not a factory 442 (again by VIN). Originally a 350 2bbl car, everything on it seems to be correct for a 442 (tho it's not done as a restoration). Built 455, 4-spd, I think it has 4.10 gears. For sale. The car you guys started with sure looks pretty clean, always a bonus with a re-do. Turned out great.
November 24, 201312 yr Looks good. Glad to read that you are still working on the taillights and some details. I was going to mention that you have a screw loose in the one photo. ;-)
