79 Cutlass Calais

[DWreck]

Stumbled across this old pic of my first car the day I got home with it. Pic from July 85. It had the 305 with a Rochester quadra-jet and the 200 trans. Drove it for 9 years and then my sister had it for another year and a half. Wish I still had it. Looking at everyones cars on hear gets me thinking.........

If you still have a record of the VIN number, might be able to still track it down. Welcome!

I'm weirdly fascinated with G-Bodies with factory manual transmissions.

It's even better when you own one.

DWreck,
I'm more of a Malibu/Lemans guy, but that thing is sweet. I had a nice 79 Cutlass I bought in 86 . Blue/ white vinyl.
It was a nice car but I really like your color combo. Makes me want to find a 79-80 Cutlass. Scratch that , my wife
said 6 vehicles are enough! Lol timo22

I'm partial to the 79 Calais myself. By far my favorite g body Cutlass.

Man, I'm gonna have to dig through some old pics now and see if I can find one of mine.
