(used to be about $700)
I owned a Cutlass for a couple of years. An Oldsmobile Cutlass, that is...
Last of the big bodies before GM downsized the mid-sized cars. Gearing was so poor that it barely could get out of its own way until you hit 30 mph or so. It would do 55 in first gear, and the quadrajet carb wouldn’t open the secondaries until about 30 mph. Sounded cool though.
Fatter blade, way less shiny/dress look, bigger hand guard.
