lets see the Rallyes on the site sickyolds brought me into the rally 350 face book site but not much action going on so I thought I would start a thread here.

 

Here's mine rallye 350 bench post 4spd original 47 miles car original paint

 

love that car!!!

 

The engine compartment looks great on your car Rallyekid ! how about a close up of the wheels what tires are you running?

 

I'm running Goodyear polyglass with the orginal spare in trunk

 

I love those cars. One of the only cars that yellow looks awesome on. Just my opinion

 

x2....

 

I wonder what the ratio is on Goodyears vs firestone tires Mine has firestone and paper work says white wall wide oval but I see lots of goodyear stuff out there too.

 

Rallye the spring on the other side of air cleaner lid is it the same size and shape as the showen drivers side mine is not the one on passanger side is thinnner diamiter windings ?

 

47 original miles??

 

Nice car! Really 47 miles? What was it just drove forward and backwards several times haha

 

I did not think you could get white letter tires on a Rallye 350?

 

Original 4 speed car. I got it in 1990.

 

Eric you could get them with the PX8 option fiberglass whitewall tires wide oval the pk 5 is the Black wall firestone tires . This info is on the order form under the w-45.

So Eric would you say every day is a holiday? LOL Nice looking car what about the inside and under the hood any good looks there.
I can see Rallye kids engine bay what does your insulator band on the heater hose by the alternator look like mine is more of a lighter
More open ceil foam.

 

that looks nice under the hood and the trunk is clean as hell I like the spring clamps on the hoses and the trunk mat.

 

Firefrost, I noticed that you have a 1 of 12 plate on the front of your car. I also see it is a Cutlass S post car. Do you qualify it to the 1 of 12 because of the 4 speed or the bench seat. Reason I ask is that I too have a Cutlass S post 4 speed car. It has buckets though and not nearly as nice as yours.
Rallye Kid, Your car is an F-85, (3377)correct?

 

I did a frame off resto. on mine, first time I did something like that & learned a lot. It's far from perfect, but runs, drives & shifts like it should & is lots of fun to thrash on. It was ordered with 16 options on top of the Rallye 350 options. I have the original window sticker too.

Found this original spare tire in a '70 or '71 442 in a yard many years ago. Don't know if it's correct or not, but looks like it could be.

Original owner shellacked the original window sticker onto a wooden plaque & had it hanging on his wall. It's not real practical to mount a wooden plaque on my quarter window, so I had a duplicate made.

I added 1 1/2" drop springs when I did the car.

Nice group of Rallye's guys!

 

Not mine, but thought this was a cool shot.

 

Sorry did not see this till now anyway form what I have found There were 160 of the cutlass s sport coupoe w-45 rallye 350 the 12 number comes in on the four speed . I dont know about the bench vs bucket If you go to Oldmobile rallye 350 face book lots of good info on there also. Helin Early was the one who was on the four speed cutlass s number verification. Sam cicario is looking for all sprort coupe s rallyes so I would think he would love to here from you. By the way I have taken that plate off it was from the guy who I got it from. Not my style

 

Is this 47 mile or 47,000 mi?. Awesome car.

If it is 47 miles what is the history on the car?

 

Its 47,000

 

You guys are KILLING ME with these Rally 350s!!!!!!
RALLYE KID---your car is awesome; I love it!!!
Firefrost---I kinda know that car and it is one cool car!
Eric and Scott---well, both of you know how I feel about Rallye cars.

Sooner or later, I'll get one. Ideally, a car like Rallye Kid's would be what I want. I just picked up a '72 Cutlass Supreme Conv. that I've been trying to get for a couple of years, and YES---it is yellow, but it AIN'T NO RALLYE!!!!!!

WAY TO GO GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Window sticker is killer . PK5 wide ovals but has good year in trunk is that the stock spare I still wonder how hard fast they stuck to the wide oval Vs polyglas ?? N06 trim ring code thats also a cool add if you like trim rings on your ss11's you sir can have them . THAT WOULD MAKE THEM STOCK CORRECT ? Hard to read all the window sticker . Neat car whats your take on the outlined olds on the lid vs just black ? Some are solid some are outlined you think the black ones are just faded or washed off over the years ?

 

On behalf of the othe Rallye owners on here Thanks Dave. Just think If a guy could own all of the cool oldsmobiles he wanted And I will take a bubble top and a soft top and a hard top and a t top and a Bikini top

 

Fire frost,
I found that spare tire in a '71? 442 in a junkyard many years ago and even though it's not original to the rallye it looks like it could have been. As for the trim rings, even though they were original to this car, I can't stand the thought of scratching the pretty paint just to put them on. Not sure about the air cleaner lid either. I've heard people say that all of them were black originally but some people painted the letters white to make them stand out more. I really don't know what is true.

 

I have seen some that were a silver outline also ?? My car has lots of paperwork with it the original owner put the window sticker in a book and cant find what book he put it in .
He had it out when he was listing it for sale . He is still looking for it I hope he can come across it some day. That is the last missing link on mine otherwise I have destination papers and loan papers dealer invoices dealer thank u letters.

 

. They were black from the factory, through the years a few have been painted, and many people think that they came that way, as the history may have been lost between owners over the decades. We did the same in the '70's.

 

In the original pamphlets they have them painted . Looks nice I can see why they did it.

 

Great post, nice to see all the awesome Rallye's. My F85 has the original rubber floor mat which is in great shape and original interior. Previous owner was a W31 fan like myself and rebuilt the engine to 31 specs with the W350 intake,fun car to drive with 3:90's!!!!

 

Nice looking car souns like a real runner i have a w-31 nos intake that some day I might do the same thing on my car. my dash has a very similar spot on the dash as yours does in that same spot on the right hand side. Rubber floor mat is cool! How long have you had it ?

 

I bought the car out of Arizona in May of this year, I never took notice to the spot wonder what happened. Yes the car is a real runner and sounds awesome,love driving it. Rubber mat is in great shape would like to pull it up to see if a broadcast might be under it,but don't want to damage the mat no one is making a good reproduction.

 

firefrost,more pictures.

 

you read my mind I was thinking i would like to see more engine shots.
I picked my car up this summer also. Mine is opisite on I have power brakes but no steering . I think I seen it when it was for fale did it come from ebay or was it just a net find? Seen one like it for sale earlyer this year.

 

Found the car on Ebay. The previous owner sold it because he needed money to buy a low mileage one owner 70 W30 and said he would have kept the car forever if not for the W30 find. I might think about selling it if I can find a nicely restored 70 4 speed W31 that won't break the bank, but that's unlikely.

 

It sounded familiar . I was bidding on it also congrats

Oldsmobiledave: was that you who was looking for a Rallye 4spd F85 bench seat? There's one for sale in the new JWO.

 

I am always on the look out for interesting Oldsmobile cars & would love to have a Rallye 350 especially one like you describe but you are thinking of Dave Siltman not me. I am sure he will read this or you could send him a PM to let him know.

I can't move on this Rallye as I have an iron in the fire right now on a new acquisition & have someone looking at my 69 442 that I may make a deal with.

 

I couldn't remember for sure who it was...sorry.

 

No No No... absolutely no reason to be sorry. I think it is great that you were bringing a car to the attention of another member. Keep it up!
