$40,000 85 Cutlass 442

[DoubleV]

With a TH-350, 3500 stall and 3.90 gear I doubt any of us would ever see it on the interstate. :lol: That's a 55mph or less cruiser.

That's about it. For the amount of money he claims to have sunk into that car, it seems silly ( to me ) he didn't pony up a couple more grand for a stout OD transmission so he could...well you know, be able to actually drive the thing on the street. Of course maybe he just wanted to build a REALLY expensive racecar? Either way, he's going to have a very hard time selling that thing for that price. It's too undrivable to be a good street car and too expensive to be a race only car.

Is there such thing as an inexpensive racecar :?: Anybody on here have a GBody in the 9-10 second range :?: How much do you have invested in it :?:

The would be fine, if he didn't claim it to be a 442 :idea: It seems he was a little on the fence though when the build took place. Its an all-out racecar with a full interior :? He should have gone one way or the other

as far as a race car I don't know how may tracks will let a car run with shaved door handles, it's a safety thing...

Instead of "an original 4-4-2" should say "originally a 4-4-2!"

 

[oldiejams]

I didnt say it would be driven to grandmas house....lol. but, I could see a quick sprint down the highway for 10 miles or so at 5,500 rpm running 120mph and waking up the whole world in the process.....
