no that IS the factory interior. theres a picture of a 73 type lt in the sales brochure with neutral interior and it basically the same. the camera flash make the seats look a different color. in 73 and 74 neutral interior has a lot going on . the dash pad was a dark green, a pillar covers and carpet were brown and the rest was neutral (not a white but an off white). my car came with the optional red accent carpet. it was the 70s man! the dash...

a better shot of the seats

a pillar trim

i was curious also and found a few cars on the web and they were similar, heres one thats not mine

Its cool just make sure that you wipe the camera lens(with a clean pice of cotton shirt) before u take a picture it always blurs if its dirty. The aar cuda Yeah Trans am racing is the reason i bought my trans am . This is what Classic muscle is all about . Nice Muscle Cars Gentlemen !!

The '70 Oldsmobile Cutlass W-31 is still a work in progress. The chassis now has the steering gear installed, brake and fuel lines are run and it will be back on its wheels over the Christmas holiday.

After sandblasting the frame, I had my brother make some laser cut pieces to repair the radiator support holes and front body mount holes -- other than these areas, the frame is solid.

Someone swapped in a Pontiac 10 bolt during the life of the car. We found an "O" axle at a local boneyard that I picked up for $50. It now has 3.42's and the aluminum cover.

All the frame and suspension components have been sandblasted and either powdercoated or painted with POR-15.

The engine is in pretty good shape and is stock bore. Just a little damage in the cylinder walls from moisture -- the car sat for 16 years in the prior owner's dirt floor garage. It has all the correct W-31 pieces, including carb, distributor, intake, balancer, etc...

The body is also solid. I found one small patch in the rear quarter after we pulled it off the frame.

I've got a few also.
Earliest is a '60 chevy stepside. Kid kept wanting to call it 'Mater like the movie cars. I kept telling her it was too young to be Mater, that it was his younger brother, Tater.
Next is a '67 Camaro SS396/M-21 with a set of 4.10's in the 12-bolt. It's currently torn apart awaiting prep and paint.
'68 Camaro SS(had this car since 1995). It's orange and has a 468/TKO 600 and 3.42's in the 12-bolt. It's getting ready for aluminum heads to go underneath the old Offy low-rise 2X4 with a pair of Holley 600's. The best thing I did to it was put on a brake booster and master from a late 70's Corvette and a set of brakes from a 2000 Trans Am. Now it stops like it should. I have a 1.25" front sway bar(stock ones were 5/8") and a set of tubular control arms. For front springs I got a set of '70 Chevelle big block station wagon with air conditioning springs and cut them down to correct the ride-height. To help with traction I went and put in the poly bushings on the rear leaf springs(you'd be surprised how trashed the old ones were) and I have a set of the Jegster lift bars. Yes, they really do wonders. Car sits on Cragar SS's and BFGoodrich's.
Final car isn't yet much. I picked up someone's project and it's been sitting. It's a '67 Camaro with a 496 and powerglide and it's a tube-chassis with the fiberglass nose/ doors and deck-lid. It should be fun when I start into it, but until then it'll stay under the tarp.
I struggle to figure how to add picks. If you want to see the '67 and '68 are in my Webshots.com. My username or whatever they call it is USA1Camaro1969 and yes, you'll see the '69 Pace car I sold a few years ago alongside the '97 30th Anniversary Convertible SS that sees most of my daily driving chores to this day.

**pajeff02** · 01-06-2010, 07:14 AM

**jiveass** · 01-06-2010, 07:34 AM

this is the only pic i got of the exhaust afterwards....

**pajeff02** · 01-06-2010, 07:44 AM

Has to sound pretty good just having cats. Any other plans for the car at this time?

**jiveass** · 01-06-2010, 08:49 AM

yea it sounds real nice...well before i do any performance upgrades i need to work out the rear suspension issues and also the steering problem..i talked to some c3 guys and they suspect my control valve is bad.....as for the rear i plan a full bushing replacement and monoleaf as well.. was wondering if i should go steel or fiberglass on that...whats your take?
