My car is a 1969 IRS ex automatic car. Has a shortend front beam (14cm) , with 3,5 Weldracing wheels and 145s and 7x15 rear with different tire combos. Gearbox built for the strip with superdiff and shorter 3rd and 4th gears and short ring and pinion. Lexan Windows all around and full strippen interieur at the moment... But was streetable ever...
First engine was a 2l Typ 4 with Idas and so on , which made nearly 180 Hp. Last engine was a 2332ccm Typ one with IDAs , MSD and so on , which was sold 2 years ago to norway. Never had it on the dyno .
I have some vidoes on youtube under the name "the79oldscutlass".
Hope to sell my Olds this winter for a good price , so that i can start building an engine or buy one used to rebuild or so...
So maybe it is on the road next year ;-)
Greets and thanks , Carsten

Thank you :-) Still collecting more parts...
I hope so , too . But it all depends on getting my Oldsmobile sold... Ok,it is somehow fast , but i found out that my heart belongs to the aircooled stuff... So if someone has some friend who is into the V8 stuff... It is on ebay , for sale.. ;-)
It is the yellow 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass.
