Cool find Jake! They should have put a center console in those cars; I got mine to fit easily with the 5-speed.

I was in the Air Force in Virginia with a guy who had a Cutty with a stick just like that. He used to go home to North Kackalacky on the weekends and come back with some "White Lightnin'" for us. He had a cam and headers on his 'lil 260, and it ran pretty good.

For what ever reason when I look at the speedo to the olds, "I cant drive 55" came to my mind.

 Fuel-injected, 5-speed G-bodies are lots of fun.  Here's mine!

They only seem like tanks. The early G-body (technically A-bodies from '78-'80) were lighter than the later cars, and my '88 SS was 3640 on the scale at Englishtown with me in it and ~1/2 tank of gas. That's pretty close to what a full-weight 4th-gen F-body weighs. I bet that Cutlass in the Ebay ad is right around ~3500 with a driver and fuel in the tank.

Lol that explains why when I was 14 looking for my first car (wanted a monte ss) I turned down everyone I looked at cause it was auto. I was an ignorant kid looking for my unicorn
