hi im new to this site and first of i have to say thank you this site has helped me a lot. most of my youth was spent in a gbody cars, so when i graduated in 2012 i bought a 85 cutlass salon originally from Kentucky. it was a basket case to put it lightly, it ran on 4cyl out of 8 (was a 3.8 but they put a "350" in it) and stalled every time it went in reverse but the frame and body were too good to pass up for $900. it took me 5 years to sort out the big problems, but finally shes on the road. pic is the day i bought it

Thanks, the only downside to the car is the original owner let her brother do the swap when 3.8 poped and he put in a 76 "350" but ended up being 76 crap cam 305, I'm searching for a rocket 350 gold block to give it some balls
