After lookin through the papers every week, we finally found a car for me Very Happy

Dad pointed it out, a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass.

So we went to Billings to look at it, talked to the guy, and brought it home.. all in the same day Very Happy

Custom paint: Candy Apple Red with orange metallic specs, orange detailing, "Cutlass 442"



Swivel racing seats with covers




Ohh and does it sound good Very Happy Dual exhaust & glass packs

It really doesn't have a 442 Rolling Eyes Laughing . It has a pretty newly rebuilt 350 small block, better gas mileage Very Happy New radiator, new fans, etc.


Not to mention the stereo system that is still on warranty, the guy said it's worth over $1000. Shocked

Door speakers

2 back speakers

Racin wheels

Was a good deal, I'm sooo excited Very Happy I think sw's bout as excited as I am though! Laughing It just needs some minor work =) Gonna get some chrome mudflaps so I don't get anymore paint chips from the rocks, and a back seat cover for sure, plus it needs something for the power steering, either a pump or hose, haven't looked yet, and some other minor stuff.

cowgirl,
nice find. and no it does not have a 442 motor in it haha. the 442 stood for
4.....four speed manual transmission
4.....four barrel carburator
2.....dual exhaust

not sure if that year had all of that but when the first ones came out that's what it stood for.

still a nice find.

All Dad needs to do is get a grille guard on it! Laughing

Years ago a kid here had an old 64 Ford Falcoon with a Bimco grille guard on it........that was good for 10 minutes of laughter every time he came to town.

Another kid here had a 66 (I think) 442. That thing would haul, but he burnt the motor up by burning stolen airplane gas in it.

An Oldsmobile is a damn fine car. Every car on the road today owes a debt to Olds for engineering front wheel drive, introduced in the 1966 Toronado, and many other innovations Olds made to the auto industry. Too bad GM dumped Olds and kept Pontiac.

You have a nice, nice ride!

I don't really listen to much rap anyway. The guy I bought it from sure does though.
He was sayin how he took the lock out of the trunk cuz "he has his box in there and it kept rubbin on his box". Said he'd give the speakers to me as a present cuz it's my first car Rolling Eyes Laughing Shocked Wink

Well yesterday we got the trunk open Shocked Huge set of speakers!!

Right now even with bass boost off, classic rock can be mistaken for rap Shocked that system picks up every tiny hint of bass and multiplies it lol Laughing
