Soon you will be sporting hats with this on it:

No sir!

I'll line up a termi any day to a camaro.

He won't part with this 340 Cuda.

Looks like a 72 with a 71 Billboard.

 

[1972 Grad]

They love 650 HP...

Looks like 70 GTX's draw the women. They probably thought it was a 440+6 or a Hemi.

What type of mileage do you get?

What type of mileage do you get?

It's not mine. But maybe 10. I have another friend that has a 70 cutlass 442. The cam is soooo big it will barely stop due to lack of vacuum it gets about 5.

 

[1972 Grad]

The exhaust I've got now does sound incredible indeed. May purchase my visual mods first then. Thank you all

You can buy a controller for your exhaust to give yourself more control over when the exhaust is quiet or loud. Google dual mode exhaust controller, or mild to wild exhaust controller. Some people pull fuse #51, I think (better check that to make sure) to open the exhaust all the time, but it drones at lower rpm.

I had both a 70 and 72 W-30 442, and a 71 SX 455 Cutlass convertible. I have also owned 6 factory Hemi cars, 2 of them 70 Cudas..

I may have the year wrong. It has the round Brake lights built into the bumper.

I think 20 gallons.

With a hot rod, it's not the mpg. It's the Smiles Per Gallon.

I was thinking of the 72 chevElle.

He has a 72 like this...

I was just starting to write that the 70-72 Cutlass had taillights in the bumper, and all 3 years are in the same cutout, but all 3 were different. 70 has vertical slit taillights, 71 is horizontal, and 72 has what looks like a 6 pane window.

That guy Kindigit cars are super expensive.. 150k

If anyone has a question about how the old muscle cars compared, I have owned a bunch of the fast ones, maybe 50+ of them altogether.

How about a 427 cammer compared to anything?

Seems like the law does not like hot rods

That is one that I haven't owned or driven. I am deficient on Fords. I have had multiple 427 Tri-Power Corvettes, hi-po solid lifter Fuelie and LT-1 Corvettes, W-30 Olds , Stage I Buick, RA III, and SD 455 Pontiacs, 340, 440+6, 340+6, 426 Hemi, 440 Magnums, 428 CobraJet, 390 AMX, etc.

The Pontiac, Buick especially, and Olds were underrated imo.

I had a 351W, great engine.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I was an Olds guy before I switched to Corvettes. Had a 1972 442 and a 70 Rallye 350. Still love them.

There is still a Rallye 350 running around my town with all the stripes gone. It is still yellow, and I remember it from new, but it is R-O-U-G-H.

I really like the Buick GSX 70-72.

 

[1972 Grad]

I really like the Buick GSX 70-72.

I never had a GSX, but I did own 2 1970 GS 455's, and one 1970 GS Stage I. Fast, nice cars.

The stage one is nice too.
