MY GXP and 442
I've just come to the realization that I have never posted any pics of my vehicles on this site,so without further delay, my 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP and my 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 442. More pics to come later.

Love the GXP, I am a little Bias. The Cutlass is just amazing. Any idea how many were made? If you PM me your VIN number, I can find out if you don't.

Venom, there were about 4000 442'* built in 1987. It was the last year for rear wheel drive 442'*. There are so many parallels between the two cars as in, last year of production for their particular model, about 4000 made, Olds 307 and Northstar engine vin code is either "Y" or "9". I'm a fan of driving cars that you don't see many of every day.

Like only the best the 1970'*-80'* had to offer, vacuum hoses galore. Oldsmobile did put a chrome air cleaner lid on top for a bit of dress-up. The plan is to replace the 307 with an Olds 350. I'll keep the original motor however just in case a total restoration bug were to strike.

Love the 442. I have always liked the G-bodies. My first car was a Dark Gray 2 door Olds Cutlass with the 307 in it. That was before digital cameras really came around so unfortunately I have no pictures I can post.
