You are correct, I think it came with a 455 stock, don't recall what year though

It's a Jetstar 88. It had a smaller V8 and I built the 455 to put in it.
I wish I had researched a bit before buying it. The Jetstar was redesigned in 66 and the price was very close to the next model up. So it didn't sell very well and Olds discontinued it. One year cars are a bitch. It took me a year and a half to figure out how to get power disk brakes. Now it's got all poly bushings and coil over suspension.
Took it on the Hot Rod Power Tour last year and had a blast. It's kinda funny to have the 442/Olds crowd asking about it. Most have never seen or heard about a Jetstar.
There's times I wish I hadn't either but I'm pretty proud of pushing through to get it this far. Once I get the Monte Carlo on the road it's going to get garaged and I will get the body work done and painted.
My first attempt at doing a trunk. It came out pretty good.
Thanks. I have to do the trunk lid still. I'll have the Olds logo embroidered on it. Too many other projects seem to get in the way.
I asked that one time and the fuckers told me it was their company property.
Uh, okay.
455 started in 1970, it was a one year engine in the Wildcat. '67-'69 was the 430.

I had a 72 bug many many moons ago. If I run across a deal on one it'll be in the driveway. I've got some money set aside for the right deal on a late fifties chevy panel truck.
@DarnYankeeUSMC , your car is amazing. Obviously a lot of meticulous work you put into it.
Earlier Wildcats and Rivieras in GS form could get the "Super Wildcat" engine. A 425 ci with dual quads.
I ain’t laughing. That’s purdy.Laugh if you must, but once you handle and shoot one, you’re ruined for everything else. Sublime experience…and worth the price of admission.

70 is my cutoff year. Too many changes that I don’t care for in the later years. Ideally, I wanted a split window, but walked into a deal on this 66. It has a better motor with a 73 ish AE code dual port block I rebuilt a couple years ago. Maybe soon, I’ll stuff a 2,000cc or bigger motor in it. A two rotor swap would be fun as well.
Turdcutter308’s mom down on the corner waiting on me (or anyone else with $20) to pick her up.
Odd way to spell retarded
I'll loan you $20 if you let me take video and post it on FarmersOnly.com.

Anybody know what's going on with this?
I’ll also need 3 pounds of flour and pigs squealing in the background.
