Ransom Eli Olds... check out the way it dashes the curves!

Note the red plastic wheelwells? Engine note is sick.

W-30 packaged 442s were beasts. I'd love to see a back-2-back with this car & the same with modern rubber on it.

Beautiful car...love the color..nothing says early '70s like apple or olive green.

Don't forget 'Barf Green' and 'BabySh!t Brown' ! :P

Ya, and beige.

Back then it seemed like every other car GM built was that color (or very similar).

Didn't like it then, don't like it now.

I love the tail out, power happy driving in the video. I've done plenty of THAT!

Love the color, my 71 Chevelle was the same color and I always liked it on that car.

To each his own....

Man, do I love A-bodies!

But that color...

...is fantastic. Totally 1970s - as it should be.

And yeah, something about the Olds 455 sound...just beautiful.

Yeah, the sound of that car is just sick!

Not just yes but hell yes...I'd like to DRIVE it with modern rubber under it!

Don't get me wrong - love the car.

But I like it better in that electric blue Olds used that year.

Drifting American style ver 71.442 :smilewide:

Yeah sure did miss what progress killed

Don't get me wrong - love the car.

That electric blue is nice...but something about a Cutlass of the Era just cries out for black.
