Here's my 78 salon. 260, 5spd, 2.56 rear. Less than 50k. Ivery added Sport steering wheel, 87 442 gauges and 15" rally wheels. I put about 2k on it last year and I may take it on power tour this year. IMAG0707.jpg IMAG0701.jpg

Nice Cutlass salon!! Sounds like a nice driver! Especially with a stick :) I really like the fastback design of these cars. Can probably make a mean looking pro-touring build. Has anyone seen these 442 hot wheels?

Haha nice! I don't think I had any g-body ones, but that's cool, I think these hot wheels look pretty neat. I wonder if anyone has done a salon 442 build like that? I think it would look awesome, it kinda reminds me of the pumkinator build with the side vents.

Actually going out now to start re-assembling the car. Not going to get to the restoration as I had hoped. Wife and I have decided to sell 3 of our cars and downsize.
