Added another one to the stable...

I seem to have this affection(affliction?) for 1980 Cutlasses. My hot rod is a 1980 Calais, I bought and dismantled an '80 Supreme for parts, and today I pulled the trigger on yet another '80 Calais.
At $800 including a brand new uninstalled carpet kit, I couldn't pass it up.

It's nicely optioned with ps, pb, pw, pdl, air, tilt, cruise, buckets and console, rallye pac gauges, sport steering wheel, fender mounted signal indicators and the rare "Astro Roof" option.

Plans for this one are to find a healthy used small block in the classifieds to replace the tired 305, and go fairly fast on a budget. It should be a fun summertime toy (hopefully for cheap), and it'll help scratch the 7 year itch I've had since I parked the Juggernaut for it's build.

Nice pickup Donovan! I was cruising kijiji Calgary the other day and saw that one....I thought real hard about asking you to go look at it for me...

Nice Astro roof!

And now that I know you're in Calgary, I'll start watching for your parts for sale!

Thanks Kevin. The price was right, so it was hard to pass up. I'm now looking for a few small parts to replace what's missing from it. Like the ashtray insert for the console...

I do have several parts from the Supreme I parted out a couple years back. Let me know what you're after, and I'll see if I can help out.
Where are you located??

I'm in Salmon Arm, BC. I don't need anything right now, it's just nice to know who's within a reasonable shipping distance lol

Astro leak!
Lol
Thanks. I asked the PO if it leaked at all and he said no. I thought "well, ok", but then I went and washed the car: bone dry! 😎
The upper weatherstrip seals however, are another story...

True enough. Every bit helps when we don't have to import/ship across the border. Anything you think you might need, just shout. I'll see if I can fix you up.

The only bigger leak-in-progress are the fellas in Albuquerque driving the Sawzall convertibles. Stylin' 'til the first downpour, then the mad scramble to Harbor Freight on Menaul Blvd. for a tarp!
