*******MAJOR UPDATE 9-12-04************
This car is For Sale. Im asking best offer to get rid of it. I dont really want to see it go to junk. So if someone has the heart to take this old girl off my hands and finish it up, it would be great. Right now there is no engine or transmission in the car. But everything else is there. The car is complete. Asking best offer, and you would have to haul it. So someone please email me a jessi_andrews@yahoo.com and in the subject line type in 80 cutlass so i know.

This is my 1980 Oldsmobile cutlass Cruiser wagon. Bought the car on November 8, 2003. Car dollied it all the way from Indiana back to my home town in Wisconsin. The car has a blown engine, so i am pulling the 260 Cu. In. engine out and dropping a 350 Buick motor and trans. This buick motor is bored .80 over. Has a 850 carb. Not sure on HP. But i think it will make this car get up and haul some butt. First here is some before pictures of the car before i even bought it. When i seen the pictures i was like yep this is the Restoration Project.

Since i blew out the transmission i have decided to pull the engine again, i have a demoliton derby car sitting in my yard that i am pulling the strong 350 Olds Rocket motor and trans out of it and dropping it in the cutlass. So more updates will be in but not til in late march probably since the cold weather has put things on hold. So for the time being i will work with the body work for the next 2 months or so then start engine work again.
