BUY OR NOT BUY-84 Cutlass W/455

[88hurstolds]

You guys are talking me into it, I am thinking I might go pick it up this weekend maybe depending on what else is going on. I have one other question. The guy that has the car is taking his weld wheels and tires off of it and putting a set of monte wheels on it. What is the biggest size of tire I can run on a 15 inch rim without notching the frame. I want to be able to try and keep the car hooked up so I am not squealing the tires every time I get on it. I was thinking of 235/60/15 on a set of 15x8 weld wheels with what backspacing?

I have 255's on my 15x7 with 4" backspace on my 84 and 235's in front that don't rub. You can go up to 275 and even 295 without notching the frame dependent on your backspace.

What rear end does it have in it, 7.5 or 8.5? Either way, its a good deal.

I think I know this car. Is it near Noblesville,In? The guy who owns it is my Uncles friend and he has spent near 10,500 or more on this cutlass. He put like 4000 just in the motor. It just needs repaint, but he had parts for the front end(header piece and fender.) I have rode in it and it is fast. I think it runs 12's in the 1/4. Id get it its a steal. Is this the same car? 😛

Off-topic:
Small world, I bought my 66 Impala from Noblesville and picked up a 65 from down there last summer. Indiana's been good to me for buying cars.

On-topic:
Fuelbp, get the car!! Hell the drivetrain is worth that at least unless it's trashed, which you said it isn't. And if the rest of the car is decent you're getting a deal. As others stated, if you won't I will.

Man... I turned down a 67 Impala with NO RUST and a straight body (only needing a engine rebuild, seats, paint and bumpers) for $750.

I've been kicking myself for about 2 months.

Picking up the car this weekend! I would pick it up during the week, but I have school and work, but it will be here soon enough.
