Old Hot Rod covers

[pagrunt]

I was looking over the new issue of Hot Rod & saw in the XX years back issue section & on the April '78 cover was a custom '78 Century. Doing alittle bit of search trolling I found a December '78 with a '78(?) 442 & a few other pics.

If memory serves, that Cutlass originally belonged to a guy by the name of Bill Porterfield. He swapped in the drivetrain from an Olds Toronado. Cool car.

I came across it was for sale by the original owner last year.

Was the car still in good condition?

It looks as good like it did in the article.

Those colours and spoiler detract form the awful back body lines on that hunchback 442. I like it, it works somehow. The fender flares also help round out the way too square back lines.
