So, to make a long story short, i'm going to be spending 6 months or so in Haiti, from mid-december to early june. I'm going to drive my 79 Olds from up here in Canada to Miami, and fly from there. Does anyone in Miami area have a space they can rent me to store my car for the 6 months, or know...

You have many cars to choose parts from. Frame and suspension wise, all b-bodies were the same from 1977-1996. (Chevrolet Caprice/Impala, Pontiac Catalina/Parisienne, Oldsmobile 88, Buick Lesabre. The larger Olds 98 and Buick Electra, and any full size RWD Cadillac are nearly identical under...

Aluminum turbo hood (with bulge) RPO T47 Aluminum rad support RPO VA3 This is off the build sheet of a 1980 Canadian market Buick Century turbo coupe.

That's very interesting. I had no idea those were available. So they're 1981 only? Do you know which plant they came out of? Naturally most of what we have here are Canadian-built cars, so if Canadian plants used those bumpers my chances are better. Learn something new every day on this forum..

That doesn't make sense. Whereas it's true that I weakened my stock steel bumpers by removing their aluminum supports, the bumpers i'm considering switching to are bone-stock X-body pieces, which i'm assuming passed the same federally (U.S.) mandated tests in order to be fitted as standard...

I was in the junkyard yesterday thinking about how to reduce the weight of my malibu (1981 4 door) it's already got the aluminum rad support, aluminum drums, etc. + i swapped out my dented rear doors for a set of '78 rear doors to eliminate the awkward looking vent windows. (i've run across a...

Did this swap on my car, used the box out of an s10, which bolted right in, no problems. I left the s10 pitman arm on it and it worked fine too. It's freed up a little engine power, but I'd recommend against doing it if this is your daily driver-the steering ratio is really slow and effort is...

I've looked at what other guys are asking for these and prices are all over the place-but i'm not trying to gouge anybody, i just wanted to save it from the crusher. 50 bucks+shipping takes it

Just wondering whether the aluminum hood option was common on 1980 Grand Prixs. I picked one up the other day off a boneyard car because I thought it was a rare and sought-after piece, but it seems nobody's interested in it. I've got a Malibu so i can't use it myself, but can any GP experts out...
