Ransom Eli Olds... check out the way it dashes the curves!

Note the red plastic wheelwells? Engine note is sick.

W-30 packaged 442s were beasts. I'd love to see a back-2-back with this car & the same with modern rubber on it.

God that things got MOVES! I really like that very last shot of it powersteering over the hill of the curve.... :wub:

[Drew Dowdell]

I would like to remind everyone that my birthday is in two weeks.

[Camino LS6]

Man, do I love A-bodies!

But that color...

[Robert Hall]

Beautiful car...love the color..nothing says early '70s like apple or olive green.

Don't forget 'Barf Green' and 'BabySh!t Brown' !

Ya, and beige.

[Camino LS6]

Back then it seemed like every other car GM built was that color (or very similar).

Didn't like it then, don't like it now.

[A Horse With No Name]

I love the tail out, power happy driving in the video. I've done plenty of THAT!

Love the color, my 71 Chevelle was the same color and I always liked it on that car.

To each his own....

[Duncan]

Man, do I love A-bodies!

But that color...

...is fantastic. Totally 1970s - as it should be.

And yeah, something about the Olds 455 sound...just beautiful.

[A Horse With No Name]

Yeah, the sound of that car is just sick!

Note the red plastic wheelwells? Engine note is sick.

W-30 packaged 442s were beasts. I'd love to see a back-2-back with this car & the same with modern rubber on it.

Not just yes but hell yes...I'd like to DRIVE it with modern rubber under it!

[Camino LS6]

Don't get me wrong - love the car.

But I like it better in that electric blue Olds used that year.

Drifting American style ver 71.442

Yeah sure did miss what progress killed

[A Horse With No Name]

Don't get me wrong - love the car.

That electric blue is nice...but something about a Cutlass of the Era just cries out for black.
