I know where theres a 442 sitting on 20"s LOL

and i know where theres a 5speed monte SS sitting... yet it doesnt truly relate to the thread

well the car I know of is a manual and it need to be saved.

Reminds me of my ex's car...ugh

"This car is a collectors dream"

Cool find Jake! They should have put a center console in those cars; I got mine to fit easily with the 5-speed.

weird
 

thats rare. i know where a w30 442 4speed is just rotting in this guys driveway. it makes me sick, its gold with black decals. all there too.

That thing is pretty sweet. I could see driving that thing as a daily driver.

I'd be too tempted to put a big block in that

I was in the Air Force in Virginia with a guy who had a Cutty with a stick just like that. He used to go home to North Kackalacky on the weekends and come back with some "White Lightnin'" for us. He had a cam and headers on his 'lil 260, and it ran pretty good.

Drool ...

I didnt think that car existed....

They didnt, lol... just like TPI Monte SS's car, it was custom. Not too hard.
They also didnt come with a 350TPI engine ;-)

:drool: @monte

For what ever reason when I look at the speedo to the olds, "I cant drive 55" came to my mind.

:werd: Fuel-injected, 5-speed G-bodies are lots of fun. :) Here's mine!

cool find, but those cars seem like tanks

They only seem like tanks. The early G-body (technically A-bodies from '78-'80) were lighter than the later cars, and my '88 SS was 3640 on the scale at Englishtown with me in it and ~1/2 tank of gas. That's pretty close to what a full-weight 4th-gen F-body weighs. I bet that Cutlass in the Ebay ad is right around ~3500 with a driver and fuel in the tank.

according to the build sheet i see the olds was shipped to king olds in croton on hudson about 10 miles from where i grew up( mid westchester county on the huson river, NY). i purchased my 86 442 there new. king olds is gone now and so is my 442 , oh well.the seller says that the car spent its whole life in San Diego, whats up with that? i had a 77 olds cutlass supreme brougham and i remember seeing the 260 /5 speed option listed in the owners manual

Im working on the 5speed myself

i dont have more pics of mine. All pics of the progress over the 2 years i was building it, i deleted. However i can get current pics anytime, and this summer, it'll have a t56 swapped in.

Lol that explains why when I was 14 looking for my first car (wanted a monte ss) I turned down everyone I looked at cause it was auto. I was an ignorant kid looking for my unicorn :D

Makes me cant wait to fix up my 87 Cutlass I just love the body style.
