1971 Olds Cutlass Project "S71" Intro V8TV

http://www.v8tvshow.com - Our 1971 Olds Cutlass S - nicknamed the S71 - is about to start the transformation from junk to funk. From pile to Style. Here's part 1 of the saga where we take a look at the car, it's history, and try to formulate a plan for building a fast, fun car that stays true to the original.

Why didnt the guy just buy a W-31 Cutlass it's same thing. Plus the Oldsmobile 350, and 455 are from the same block why not bore it.

[V8TV]

Although the W-31 was very similar, the price at the time wasn't. The original buyer was on a fixed income in the military back in '71, and didn't see his income with young kids being able to afford any more than he bought. It's just what makes this car unique.  And Olds blocks are different... Pontiacs are the same.

Its so great to see Olds getting some air time. They were such a fantastic all around car. Love the styling. Certainly a business mans coupe.

Olds 350 and 455 blocks are not the same. Though they do share some components.

70 was the last year for W-31. W-31 could not pass the emissions for 71.
