very nice ....is it not a real 442?

Damit I remember when building an early olds A-body was unique. Seems like they are popping up all over now.

Good luck with the build and keep us informed.

When we got it home, we did some checking and from what we can tell it's not a 442 but an F85, which turns out to be more rare. I found several in Phoenix a month ago and all sold before I could see them. They are nice looking and they are cheaper than a chevelle but you can add all the same performance. Which is a plus.

I got a brand new girlfriend! Nice way to replace the ex. She will probably give you a little lip now and then, but will shut up quick and make you smile most of the time!

Cool ride, congratualtions!

Nice car!

Although, given who you are, we expect more (and larger) pictures!!! lol

Drop that stance, toss on some Forgelines and up the performance bits.. that car really has potential.

Nice score..

As for a name.. hmmm... g-85 although that sounds similar to that other car, it still fits considering what you want to do to it.

Or could play off the Cutlass part.. pirates and swords and such.

In any event, more pics please!

This was all I could get photowise between rain drops. I plan on documenting this car well. I'll be doing a mini-shoot on it soon along with skidpad and slalom just to see how the car changes. Thanks though. I am really happy with it. It's pretty much what I wanted. BTW, I PS'd your forgelines and they actually look pretty cool on it.

Awesome car, Rob. You know we're going to need some killer photography to document what you do to it.

Here's a '65 Buick (same basic car)... they look downright badass when given some lovin'

This one was shot by Hunkins a few years back. Has a Grand National engine.

Love this body style, can't wait to see what you do with it.

Nice ride. Like Steve said, That car would look even sweeter with a lower stance and I would love to see it with some Forgelines...also, more pics please.
