I was going through an older external drive last night and stumbled upon a couple of my previous cars.

Love me a G-Body Cutlass! Turd Gen wheels are a different touch.

They fit and they were free so I used them.
The flowmaster 40's I had made the 305 rumble too. :lol:

I had almost the mirror image of that Cutlass; a 2-tone Buick Regal ('82) with the lite blue on most of the body and the dark blue on top. Unfortunately, it only had the anemic 231CI V6.

IIRC, both the 307 Olds and 305 Chevy were in the 4th gen.

News to me. I thought only the Monte and Grand prix got the Chevy 305, the Cutlass and Regal got the Olds 307. Could be wrong.

I had a black Buick Regal. Sadly, it too was stuck with the "anemic" 231 V6. :sadangel:

1998 Grand Cherokee Limited 5.9L. Out of all the Jeeps I’ve had, that one was my favorite. I did everything to it from a brand new OE carpet to headers, Mopar performance ECU. Interiors in those were awesome.

2008 R32. My favorite Volkswagen. V6, made engine noises you’d never expect to hear out of a Golf.

1995 Formula. LT1 poked to 396, nitrous, Street Twin, Moser 12-bolt. Loved the drivetrain, hated the chassis. I seriously thought about using that engine in the Porsche.

I’ve got a bunch more also. The problem is locating them on external drives.

Another. The previous owner had pulled the 454 out, built it up and dropped it back in. I blew up the transmission and had one put in with a manual valve body then tore the rear end up and replaced that with a 4:11 in my uncle’s driveway.

For such a big car it was PLENTY quick.

In your mind! Likely a 13s car!

No, Magnum PI had a 308 GTS. Mine was a 1991 Testarossa (US Model)

It also was a great driving experience. I had a Tubi exhaust and hollowed out cats. Sounded awesome.

Nope. Magnum was a 308.
