1979 Olds Cutlass Supreme

Description

Beautiful example of what Olds should have built back in 1979. To start with, the pathetic 260 V8 engine was dropkicked in favor of a rebuilt 1970 Rocket 350 rated at 310 HP with the#6 heads.Mild camshaft was installed to give it that nice lope at idle,Holley intake,Edlebrock carb with modern elecrtonic choke,Mallory ignition system with 8MM wires and Heddman headers empty into a 3" stainless steel mandrel bent dual exhaust system.THM200 trans was replaced with a modern 700R4 4 speed OD unit with operating torque convertor clutch.Rear axle ratio was changed to a respectable3.73 Front disc brakes and original Cutlass ralley wheels are a nice touch.This is a loaded Brougham and has power windows and locks,tilt wheel,pulse wipers,rear defogger,digital clock,factory tach and full gauges and the unmolested dash still retains the factory installed AM/FM 8 track Stereo.The car was painted by the owner of American Auto Restoration, here in Homer Glenn, a local shop that only does classics and high end muscle cars.The paint is the original color with just a touch of metalflake and looks amazing.The car drives as well as it looks and everything operates,I am a retired GM mechanic and this was my personal car.
