He just cut T-tops into a really nice red 4-speed car. Painted it black as well.

Someday, there are going to be some pissed collectors who find out their S/E is a fake.

On my '74, the original fuel cap seemed to be plated with yellow zinc. I had it plated again the same way.

Disagree. My GM trucks have always treated me well and my 5.3 gets better mileage than the ecoboost in my FIL F150. I have driven the F150 and won't buy one. I absolutely won't buy an import...

They are still out there, sitting in garages, barns and sheds. Awesome find. Start a thread and post up pics of your work on it. I love following threads like that, I learn a lot from them!

1977 was when GM started swapping engines between makes. My dad ordered a brand new Pontiac station wagon in 1977 and he ordered it with the Olds 350. Later on, he wished he had gotten the Pontiac...

Yes, Oldsmobile engines have the oil fill just as it is in the picture. If the 5th digit of the VIN is "R", then the car was built with a 5.7 liter or 350 ci engine. Pontiac and Chev have the oil...

Not sure about you, but in my experience, complete project cars bring less than the sum of the parts (if parted). None of these cars have anywhere near 20K in good parts on them. 12-15 is about top...
