welcome juras, bought a new olds. in 1969 looked just like that. well almost that good, it was the W30 and it came from the factory with small hub caps, but they didnt stay on there long. looking good

ahh..w30 yz nyisssssse..best except for the hurst editions. but my cutlass will kick ass of any stocker 442 at a traffic light just as it is..factory rims and 60s rubber and all.

btw, you have a'97 s10 with an lt1? pretty kewl..i had a similar daily ride b4 my cutlass- a customized '99 s10 -full walk through cab/bed conversion with a permanent cap and rear mattress, suspension with air bags/compressor/air tank, american torque thrusts, gibson exhaust, chip, k&n filter, hotter ignition/coil plus some extras...it was a 4.3v6 but ordered with a locking differential..it went straight to the conversion shop from a dealer back in '98. it was the only new ride i ever had in my life [likely last one too] but i got a lot of help with paying for it from government.

i left it as part of a tree in september '03 after my air bags blew up [or lost pressure] while taking a 90 degree turn at about 30 mph..lost control and swerved to avoid a mailbox, which maneuver threw me sideways on the passenger seat and as a result i pulled my hand control lever [thus actually accelerating] as i went head on into a tree at around 45mph..nasty permanent injuries and have a lot of steel in my legs now because of it including 2 rods from my hip to knee on my right thigh..lost most of my diaphragm function too so i get winded easily now. almost all ribs broken [for nteenth time hehe]. etc. etc. right leg is almost 3 inches shorter and my ribcage caved in for the second time in my life which makes me much shorter now than my original 5'9"...eh, story of my life these crashes hehe..got some bucks from insurance for the totalled pick up and bought that cutlass which i'm much happier with anyway.

my s10 was ok but lacked balls and that v8 feel/sound. plus i simply like older tin have but yours definitely has some balls with that v8. bet you surprise some unsuspecting 'tuners' at the traffic lights
