Re: Another economy car-

My friend Erik (the guy that video'd my Centurion runs at the Good Guys even and my Skylark Burn out video) had a '74 Olds 442 in high school.


Unfortunately the backsides was smashed by a commercial truck that managed to drive up over the bumper.


That car purred like a kitten.

I kinda like those big old "colonnade" cars. They're sweet to drive.

There's a 73 Hurst Olds for sale here in town too-

I see a nice 68-69 in the background there too.

Re: Another economy car-

That was a damn nice car...

Funny how we all thought of them as barges & undesireable during the mid/late '70s.

Nowadays, I wouldn't be ashamed to own one. Or the same era Lemans GT with the quarter window louvers and NACA hood scoops.

Guess I've always been weird. My second car was a '73 Monte Carlo, and I loved it. The mid 70's Cutlass was always kinda sexy to me. My sister had a '74, the 350's were butter smooth ... what a cruiser.

It wasn't a 1/4 mile hero, but it was definately a cruiser and got tons of looks. Even got a picture of it in the year book doing a burn out in the school's parking lot. The interior was mint, complete with swivel seats. The seats now reside in his '69 442.

They are cheap.Have better handling with some junkyard scouring(all parts from the 96 Impala SS suspension fits).Just find the body style that suits you,and get that healthy engine..and GO ;D
