How many Cutlasses can a Cutlass jump?
If a Cutlass could jump Cutlasses?
Actually I think start a TV show with well endowed women and juvenile shallow plots with a 78 Cutlass as the main character. Can't do Orange with a number on the door, that's been done. But if it's a hit, I can destroy many in filming and collector value of the 78 Cutlass will go way way up!

G bodies have gone up quite a bit, it is their time. It is an Olds 260/TH200 car? I assume you guys get the rust free with a baked interior?
I'm hoping not... I already have 4 or 5 TH200s.
Then again maybe we find out how much nitrous a 260 can handle???
Per the pics the interior is serious dirty, but still didn't appear too bad. Usually the interiors are fried

You make good observation. So hoping not 260. I replaced those before back in the 80s with olds 350 and turbo 350. Finding an olds with a 350 wasn't very hard back then, usually pay about 250 for the doner car. If this turns out to be a 260 then it will stay for awhile until can find another Olds 350. I have several vin Y 307s, but for all the effort the small block Chevy has much more support.
Im looking at a Chevy 400 to go in the caprice, so I can always just put its TBI 305 in it and convert to carb, but also have several small journal 327s collecting dust, so those would work as well. I was finishing up a 327 for the caprice, but a 400 would be better in a big car, may set the 327 in the cutlass. Here's hoping it is a 307 or 350, don't have the vin. But more important it appears to be a good starting point as interior not to bad, body panels look ok and has all its glass.
I always wanted to do a 377 build and have extra 3.25 and 3.0 cranks. I have several forged 3.25 cranks which I think ends up as 351. And I have a 283 built but never installed, 283 might not be bad idea, it has nice set of flat tops in it.
But anyway thanks for chiming in, I guess just hope it's not a 260, but it will be what it is and I'll have to work around it.
Looks awesome. Love the red. Baked better than soaked and moldy like mine.... getting that worked out though.
True. My thought is if still available, I can pick it up, clean it up and then post here we if someone might want it. I already have 10 cars in various states, but rather save than see them crushed or given to a grandchild that doesn't appreciate what they were gifted.
