Hi everybody, Olds guy from Sweden here.
Been lurking for years without posting but suddenly felt it's time to introduce myself...

I've owned my 1965 Cutlass Holiday Coupe for ten years now (damn, time flies). Didn't know anything when I started out but have a pretty good handle on it now.

Car was sold new in Stockholm, Sweden, 1965. More or less original and in pretty good shape when I got my hands on it, probably restored sometime in the 80:s.

Upgrades so far:

Rebuilt front end to stock spec. Rebuilt drum brakes.
Rebuilt TH350 with Transgo shift kit and Hughes 2500 stall.
Rebuilt 8.2 BOP rear axle, 3.55 Richmond Gears and Auburn limited slip.
Rewired and refurbished engine compartment. Battery in the trunk.
BBO Hooker headers and custom home-welded 2.5" exhaust, Dynomax Super Turbos.
SBO 352 cui. 330 block, 3.5" stroke, 4" bore, #2 heads, W31 valves, mild cam by BTR, Quick Fuel HR-680-VS carb, HS roller rockers, homebuilt Ram Air system, Pertronix Ignitor.
Fixed and replaced all kinds of broken stuff. Drive shaft, gas tank, horns, sheet metal etc...

Plans for the future:

Install BMR Handling kit level 1 (on it's way to Sweden right now).
Box lower rear control arms and install new bushings.
Would like to install manual windows and get rid of the power version...

 

Welcome, good looking ride.

 

Welcome to the site, nice car. Do you happen to know the part number of your Hooker headers?

 

Thanks!

Headers part number is Hooker 3902. And no, they didn't go in without a fight...
I did a write-up on the install years ago if anyone is interested.

 

Yes, many people with SBO's in the early Abodies have questions about headers. Just curious about your success.
