I am selling my 1972 Olds Cutlass 455. Clear PA title in hand. Car has been garaged, is only outside for pictures and to display (is covered with premium cover when outside).Originally came with a Olds 350 Small block, was swapped out roughly 4,000 miles ago with a 455 complete with Holley Street Avenger 770 and a disassembled Rochester Quadrajet. The 455 was rebuilt at the time of the swap, bored .030 over (Engine is actually a 462 now), had the cam installed, valve job, compression bumped to 10.25:1... I have a list of "dones" from the engine shop that did the rebuilding.Intake manifold is an Edelbrock Olds 455 PerformerTransmission is a TH400 with a B&M Shift Kit. Also comes with a B&M 2500 rpm Stall Converter.Rear end is a 3.90 from a 442.Airshocks on the back suspension.Power brakes (drums but can be converted to disks rather easily) and Power Steering.Hei Ignition coil from a later model Hurst.Cam is a slightly wild cam from CraneCams.The interior is almost as good as it gets. One small tear in the headliner and newly reupholstered bucket seats (and rear bench).It has an on the floor single-gate console shifter.The HEI Distributor has been recurved for this engine/tranmission combo. She is FAST off the line and is a torque monster.... combined with the 3.90's and 29" Rear tires, should post impressive 1/4 mile times.Bad news. The front suspension is feeling the age of the car. Several components are non-original but will need replaced. Shocks look good, aftermarket swaybar is good. The usual suspects (ball joints, bushings, etc) will probably need replaced in the next few years. (The usual creaks and groans). Trunk has rust (a few small holes) that should easily be able to be sanded and patched (was on my list for this summer, prior to family reasons causing the sale to begin with).There was minimal required bodywork done the last time it was repainted (4-5 years ago). Limited body filler, most of the bodywork is sheetmetal replacement.Stereo is in place but hasn't been wired for power. The rear deck speakers have been removed during the reupholstery. Extras: I replaced the rear wheels a while back when one wheel refused to hold air. The fronts are 14x7's with new tires. I also have one good rear 14x7 rear and the spare 14x7 for the trunk. Tires on both of those are dry rotted and worn but the wheels are in good to excellent (the spare is a spare... its fair). When I replaced the rear wheels, I found original 15x7 SSiii wheels and had them repainted for the rears and mounted big tires on the back to give it a raked look.The car will come with the additional 2x 14x7 wheels and 2x additional 15x7 SSIII's.Car also come with random spare gaskets, screws, etc.Car is far from perfect, but you won't find a better jumping off point for a 442 Clone without spending MAJOR money more. The Car is driveable, insured, plated. Passes all of PA's requirements for "Antique". I am available most weeknights and weekends to show off the car. I can/will show the car to any serious interest buyer (Fair Weather only... atleast no rain/snow) (In the Latrobe, PA area) All information is accurate and truthful to the best of my knowledge and ability to verify.

Sorry the drive is so short, I don't like exposing the car to the rain... but it's going to be snowing soon and I will have to garage the car, so I would rather have shot the video in the light rain than the snow and ice. http://youtu.be/z6nWCU67ML4
