The bad: some bad rust starting, drivers door is stuck shut, didnt really look into it. drivers seat leather is ripped, shifter broke off, easy fix just didnt do it.
Drivers door probably won’t open because the hinges are probably shot and need new hinge pins. The door looks like it dropped. You can probably lift on the handle and the door from the outside and lift and pull upward to get the door open. New hinge pics are cheap and it’s not that hard to replace.
Dam id be all over this if it was more solid they dont make many replacement panels for it yet. I looked at a 77 2 weeks ago and it had 2 much bondo in it. At lest your didnt try to hide the rust people can see what it needs. I love these old oldsmobiles i want 1 bad. Just cant find a solid one.
Why those 350 rocket motors in these heavy ass cars are So0o0o0 SLOW!
Guy i worked with had a gold cutlass with the 350 rocket and bragged about how fast it was. he called out my little red neon and thought fuck im gonna get whoomped… He had some stall in it, B&M shift kit, carb, headers, exhaust, blah blah blah and i ran him from a dig about 5-6 times in my neon (no nitrous) and pulled buses.on him… No lie it was probably a mid-high 16 sec car… My neon ran 14.9 @ 91 best on motor
:picard: the 71/72 rocket had the most torque out of any stock 350 small block. They were hands down one of the better small blocks to start with in stock form. The guy you raced probably had a 307 or a polution 350 rocket. It makes a big difference. 300hp in a 3400lb car is alot faster than 16 seconds.
Its nice i miss my 1977 Cutlass Supreme even though it was very slow, enjoyed cruising in it… maybe if i had more money i would of kept it and fixed it up.
