My new Olds project 1970 Cutlass S

[QS442]

I'm venturing away from being just a g body junkie and now have a new 1970 Cutlass S project. It has only 67k on it but was parked due to engine knock. Engine was apart when i got it. So far, I have only pulled the 350 out and been gathering parts here and there since I got it in the fall.

Plans are to install a stock 403 that I have and use my 200-4r from my 84 Hurst Olds when I switched it to a TH400 to get it running by summer. I am going to leave it as is body wise since it's a slow project and I still have alot of work to do to my H/O. Body is solid with only rust in the truck pan. Paint is original (not bad) and vinyl top isn't that bad either. Not a big fan of the misty blue color but it's going to stay for while. Interior is white and needs restoration. I cleaned interior and the panels still show discoloration. I am going to eventually change interior to black. I have purchased some oem black Cutlass S front door panels and a black 4 spoke sport wheel. I also bought a 442 rear bumper with cutouts and some oem tail lights. Looking forward to this new project, been slow thus far since all the spare parts I have are all g body related.

Nice car & cool priject.

There is another g-body member here who also has a ‘70 Cutlass S project. Im sure that he will chime in! He also has an Olds 403 installed along with the 200-4r from his Olds gbody..

Is the S different than other cutlasses? The rear quarters look different than I remember. Nice looking car. I had a 69 GTO circa 2002. Same chassis I believe. Nice enough car, just didn't speak to me like the Gbodys do.

I think youre now my new favorite forum member but I kind of also hate you now.... one of these is my dream car. Ive had a lot of cars but everytime I go to get one of these it slips through my fingers.

I have always liked the "swoopy" body lines on those years.

Cool, that is nearly identical on the interior as mine. Nice blue but a vinyl top, not a fan. Mine had a 260 installed and the original 350 was long gone. Here are my interior pics, I went with the PUI front seat covers, there catalog is confusing, right cover but no new head rest covers or the spots cut out so I left them out. Also my interior was full of mice, had to restuff the pass side seat and my car is now Tremclad Green, I will take a pic when I can of the new exterior colour. I currently have a 9 to 1 Olds 350 that is decent and did a RPM intake along with 1.72 roller rockers over winter but will work on the 403 stroker this year for it, just need a girdle and machine work. I did have a 2004R in it but my daughter ran it low on fluid, so the stock TH350 went in, it will
get a TH400 when the stroker is done.

Nice car. My best friend in high school had the exact same car that he bought in 71. Endless possibilities for upgrades since its not a W-30 442. I also don't care for vinyl tops on muscle cars.
