I've always wanted one of those I had a 1982 olds cutlass but it's not like the real thing.

I have a 84 hurst 8.5 rear end factory
Good job on keeping the Olds engine Joe modellow
My question is, what kind of blackmail photos do these guys have on summit racing 🤷🏻♂️🤣.. there is NO WAY the average shop anywhere in the world can get this done , within a reasonable budget. Labor and parts would be in excess of $75,000.-$100,000… Unless they get free parts 🤷🏻♂️.. and only pay labor . .even so, 20k at least in Labor.. these videos are fake news..
Cost?
Those cars came with 8.5 rearends….
Oldsmobile should feel ashamed for installing a weak 307 in that beautiful car.
What was the cost of the build
What Rear end gears did you go with
what are those wheels ?? i dont see anything about them
Tommy Boshers is My Favorite Mechanic 😁😏
As much as I live this channel this was completely disgusting they destroyed that car cutting the frame and stuff they could have built a cutless and preserved this car smh
Um, Oldsmobile Bravada was pretty much a Trailblazer and it came with a 5.3LS so really an LS could be a Olds product. Even the Izuzu Ascender was available with an LS as well as the Buick Rainer, & the Saab suv. From that era they’re all just rebadged trailblazers.
I am a Ford person that's all I have on since the '80s. That doesn't stop me from thinking another brand car looks good.
I'm old enough to remember when these first it came out. Normally he would only see one car go down the quarter mile and after you would never see them there again. These things were pigs in drag racing. Depending on the driver is a car was a steady 15 second car and with a average driver it ran 16s all day. Even for the '80s standard that that was just embarrassing.
I will love to see this car go down the quarter mile after the new motor is put in. They still have that classic look. As always reminds me of the Buick Grand nationals. You think it was just a grandpa's car until they stepped on the gas pedal and just blow right past you. Now those cars into the track every weekend with us toward guys. Just stop those cars were in the 13th with a good driver. When the ford guys for all switching to sticky tires or straight out racing slicks sent these cars in the 12s with no problem at all.
Like I said at the beginning just because I am Ford person I still do enjoy watching and looking at other makes and models.
🔥
I love the LS engine, but I'm glad you kept this project all-Oldsmobile.
what size wheels are those?
You’ve ruined an original Hurst Olds. Bummer.
12:00 this almost had to be a joke. Thats sucha chop shop way to clean an undercarriage.
Must be nice to have an unlimited budget to work with on all these cars…Don’t get me wrong!! I love the end result but it’s out of reach of 70 to 80 percent of your viewers
I have an 87 cutlass with t tops with a hurst drivetrain and interior from Florida zero rust fully restored body and interior
Why do it to nice hurst find a nice cutlass to do it to
How relatable this 20k upgrade video is!
Motor so big they had to smack the the heads closed a bit
Hey guys I'm glad y'all are still making these videos because it's not airing on regular TV like it used to. I don't know if y'all have changed things up where it's mainly just on the Internet or what but there are millions of us who are supporting y'all the whole power Nation family and hoping y'all never in the show. It's nice to sit and watch these videos with our kids, keeps everyone motivated. Y'all are an awesome group of guys keep up the great work
Am I the only guy here who was appalled that they took a true survivor and just trashed it with this stuff? I mean had they found one that was in rough shape and then ripped into it I would have been happier. They took one that was in great shape and devalued it. They also could have just done a stock Cutlass and did the same and that would have been great too! It was like taking a stock, numbers matching 63 Corvette or a 69 Pontiac GTO and doing this to it.
My brother Jim loved that car back in the 1980's!!!!!
That 455 was built back when Horsepower TV was still around lol
You interested in getting rid of the stock wheels?
Love the car stock. It's beautiful. Leave it alone! Don't drop it. Should of bought a regular Cutlass and ruined that. This one was too rare to modify. Shame.
Still impressive that you got rubber stock in every gear on the strip
So glad it didn't turn into just another ls swap
Mr. M on the olds motor is epic 🎉 glad it’s true olds power
Needs 12inch rear tires then it will be perfect!
Why’s header dented?
I like that version a guy used parts from a Bravada on made it all wheel drive.
