We almost had to take out the boxing gloves please help thanks

 

I'll keep the clock!

Ding Ding!

 

Gold is for 350, lt blue for 455 then. Give him the knock-out!

 

You didn't know that Golden Rocket engines have more horsepower than regular Rocket engines?

 

give him a classicoldsmobile acound

 

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing he's a Chevy guy.

455- 1968-69 exc Toronado: Olds red

1968-69 Toronado: light slate metallic blue. Like Pontiac metallic blue, but a little different when viewed side-by-side.

1970-73 all- Olds dark metallic blue. This looks "bluer" than the

1974-76 all- Olds medium metallic blue which is more turquoise. Also on 1975-76 350's.
