The original owner wanted a 442, but the price tag on a 442 was a little out of reach, so this 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S was ordered new with every 442 option except for the 455 Olds engine. It's got the bucket seats, 4-speed, Outside Air Induction fiberglass hood, sway bars, disc brakes... and a 350 4-barrel. It's an interesting car, and here's where the journey back to greatness begins.
The S71 would soon evolve into a fuel injected, turbocharged pro-touring car that retains the classic 442 look. The custom built diesel block-based BTR performance 422 cube Oldsmobile V-8 boosted by a Bullseye 75mm turbo gives this car tons of power, but it remains docile enough to drive every day.
