Grab anything and everything you can, hell buy the entire car. Its all there and worth a ton in parts. Its a shame to see another 80 442 go to waste but they all can't be saved. It does have an Olds 350 if its the original engine.

Re: Is there a spring style hood lift that will work for 85 Ok then. Just by doing a simple search for Buick Regal pics in Google you can see that your hinges look the same as standard spring hinges. It looks like GM just left the spring hangers off. I can post up some spring hinge pics if you...

Re: Is there a spring style hood lift that will work for 85 Are the holes in the hood and fenders for hinges? If not then not sure what you can do.

Yep plan on pulling all glass out of my parts cars. You never know about the glass.

To answer my own question....it does :D

Yep this question should probably go in the "Body and Trim" section but need some quick answers in the most popular section of this site. :D I deal with 78-80 Cutlass mainly and dabble a little in 81-88. Does the door glass interchange between the two era's? I am looking to use glass from an...

I hooked a chain to my lawn tractor and the bumper and they pulled right out. It doesn't take much for them to pop back.

Thanks guys. This helps.

Are the side sport mirrors the same between an 86-90 Caprice and Camaro and an 86-88 Monte SS?

This is a funny thread. I gotta add my $.02 :D 1. Sun destroys the plastic interior and dash in all parts of the US 2. Filler panels fall apart 3. Steering column slop 4. Clocks stop working 5. Gauges stop working 6. Cheap plastic hinges on glove box and console doors break 7. Weak cars all...

What happens to these clusters over time is that the 4 little nuts on the back of the cluster loosen up and loose contact with the foil and also get corroded. Also the lights get very hot and warp the plastic housing. This causes the socket tabs to loose contact to the foil as well. Remove the...

Hey there and welcome. What part of Ohio? I am in Northern.

Re: GBOTM: Congratulations to speedkills80 our July '13 Winn Beautiful Malibu. Exactly the way GM should have built it! Nicely done!

In my opinion judging from your pics, someone spent the time to add paint, stripes, hood piece and 442 badges to your car. It didn't come like that new. Check out the breakdown of my last post. You can also do your own research on a 1980 442 on the internet.

JAE, the car in the link IS an 80 442 and NOT a Hurst Olds W30. Hurst was NOT an option in 80. The "R" in the VIN indicated a Hurst or 442 in 79-80 Calais Body only because the 350 Olds was only avail with the Hurst or 442 option package. Yes the 260 and 305 was available in 78/79 in the 442 so...

Get another last gen Monte for a DD. They are great cars! Sorry to see another go. Glad your ok.

VIN F is a 260 so your car is a clone. People go through great lengths to create clone cars. A nice paint job is not all that hard to do if the right person is laying it down. Your VIN should start with 3K47R Look at this as well http://engineguy.com/1982-77-oldsmobile ... vin-f.html I also...
