Check this 71 Cutlass S out

I ran across this video yesterday and it looks like a pretty nice car. So I went over to their website to check things out it it appears to me to be a BBO, not a 350. I took a closer look at the pictures and it also looks to have a 200-4R trans in it.

Whomever had this car put a lot of time and money into it and if this asking prices sticks, I'd think that you'd have very good value per dollar spent.

Aluminum heads and factory exhaust manifolds? What were they thinking?

I was interested in that car a couple years ago. It belonged to some IT guy in California, he inherited it from his grandma or something. Then he had a motor built for it and some suspension upgrades. I didn't have enough money at the time so I didn't buy it. OldsMafia on instagram bought it and kept it for awhile then sold it to a movie studio and after they were done with it, sent it through the mecum auction and it went for $9,500!! Now coyote classics has it listed for $20,750.

No matter what they paid for it, they have it listed as having a 350 in it (because that is what they were told when they purchased it). It's a BBO for sure, and it has a 200 4R trans in it. Not sure if it's worth 20,000, but it's definitely worth more than they paid for it.

Car looks pretty solid. Besides the pics is there any verification of 455. The motor def looks bigger but I can't be sure? The interior is funky. Check out the door panels.

The intake appears to be a torker which is not made for the SBO. Also the bypass hose on the water pump looks to be too long for a SBO as well.

It's fairly obvious to me it's a torker when you look at these pictures.
