Wheels are 15 x 7 and 15 x 8.5 Oldsmobile SSI replicas from Specialty Wheel LTD w/new Goodyear Eagle GT II tires, 235/65/15 & 275/60/15. This car is a paint job away from being a showstopper, but it is alot of fun just like it is. No one ever expects to find all these mods when they check out the car. I have 442 side scoops that need to be rechromed that will go with the car, I was going to badge it as a 442 if and when I ever had it painted. I truly enjoy this Cutlass, but a car that I built and then sold some 24 years ago has become available and this Cutlass is going to have to go in order to make an offer on it. I have between $25-$30K tied up in this Olds so far. If the car I'm trying to purchase ends up gone this Cutlass won't be for sale anymore. More pictures loaded soon, or request what you want to see more of.On Feb-23-11 at 22:13:09 PST, seller added the following information: The pictures of the car not yet together are from last summer. I included them in order to show some of the normally unseen frame and suspension. The picture in the garage with the doors off and the floor wet show the car at the lowered Air Ride position. The car was assembled in May 2010 and has one great summer of cruising under its belt. On Feb-24-11 at 02:06:33 PST, seller added the following information: Couple more items I forgot. Has MSD 6al box with rpm limiter, Ron Francis complete fuse box and wiring kit. I also have a lot of 65 Cutlass pieces and parts that can go with the car if you want them. Extra chrome, window glass, hood, trunk, core support, etc. On Feb-25-11 at 10:25:24 PST, seller added the following information: Added some more photos. One pic shows it in the up or drive height postion and the other fully lowered. Also some under car pics.On Feb-26-11 at 07:44:52 PST, seller added the following information: The last picture is my wife and I in 1987 with our Pro Street Corvette. The Cutlass has to go so I can make an attempt to buy it from its current owner. Most of us car lovers wish for a certain car from our past, this is the one for me. Its the only reason I would sell this Cutlass.
