To coin a phrase from another website, you suck! Nice Cutlass, good color combo, Rally gauge pack?, sport steering wheel, buckets, console shifter? I have a friend who had a 77-78 Olds Delta 88 2 door with a 403 that ran very well, big bore(4.351"), lots of potential there!

Rally gauge pack, sport steering wheel, buckets, and console shifter are all there! Getting this color (and all those options) was just luck, at this point I was happy to just get a decent starting point. I was surprised how close the shade of red is to my daily driver.

Car looks great and a great starting point! I wonder if it's had a repaint color change as I don't don't think I've ever that interior/exterior combo from factory. Nonetheless, it's a nice contrast.

Welcome to the site!

It is certainly possible, as I dig into it I am sure I will find out.

Well I haven't had the time to do much with the car these few months, but after some research I think I can now say that red was not the original color. If I am right, the car was black when it left the factory.
