ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2470494683&category=6405 i plan to give it to donate it to an auto recycle next month. Sad to see it go, engines and transmission is A top shape, beats like a 27 years old badminton player . It is common for this engine to last 250 to 300k miles before a rebuilt, mine prolly 300k+ because i use a special engine friction reducer and runs on LPG.
Hot damn, that 1976 cutlass sold to a pilot for : Winning bid: US $3,045.95 Not bad for a 28 years old car.
funny you've ask taneepak, back then, it is considered mid-size. My original rough guess was 3800 lbs. After some searches, i came across an oldsmobile cutlass owner who tracks his modification and measured changes(performance, weight) directly. Vehicle Weight 4230 lbs (with driver) 4150 lbs (with driver) - dropped the A/C Mine have no A/C, saves 80 lbs, take off ~150lb for the driver, u have ~4000 lbs, very good guess on your part . It is 215.2" long.
Hahaha .... I remember driving a 82 Cadillac DeVille and parking (conventional) in a row of Camrys, Corollas, Accord, and Civics ... the DeVille's back stuck out by half-a-car's length! -dave
correction, i've found out this guy had upgraded to a bigger engine(7.5L) and transmission(TH400). So real weight of my car should be between 3800 -3900 lbs, not that heavy
I could car 1: 215.2" car 2: 226.7" car 3: 221.6" car 4: 215.2 (sold it) I hope i dont inherit my dad's caddy
My car - Peugeot 406 ST sedan Stock standard 2L petrol engine, 139hp. 16v. Comes with "Intelligent adaptive transmission" but it has low IQs and bit retarded in changing gears 0-100 about 10.5 secs, quater mile even longer. Max out at 200+km but I am too chicken to find out. Lose out to almost every other car in traffic light grand prix. She's slow alright! but very quiet and a great looker! Good car for long distances especially those long drives down to country championships.
hahaha, it's not that ancient ayl. The small block gm engine (350 cu. inch) is used with no major modification from 1955-1993 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...t_1/102-7672521-3932948?v=glance&s=books&st=* Today new Cars aren't much different from my 1976's(car 1 & 2); each still run on internal combustin engine, have 4 hydraulic brakes, 4 tires, 1 steering wheel,etc. My cars are big because those kinds are over designed and I get more steel for the dollar and dont have computer module that go retarded The major advantages of today cars are fuel injection and better corrosion protection. That's why i will have to give up car #1, succumbed to corrosion, even excess steel don't last forever That's where car #3 comes in
Actually, dinosaur cars are quite popular http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6405&item=2472691246&rd=1 should i bid on this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...ry=6405&item=2473564301&rd=1#ebayphotohosting
