New to this site from Mass
Hello,
I'm from Massachusetts and new to this site. I have a couple of cars I'm working on but my 1978 Cutlass Calais is the one I've posted some pictures of. It's a rare factory 4-speed car and it's a lot of fun to drive. The 305 V8 isn't a powerhouse but still makes the car move along pretty well. I've owned it a little over a year and always draw a crowd at my local cruise-ins. Not many people know that these cars exist with a manual transmission. A base 3-speed was available with the 231 V6, the 4-speed with the 305 V8 2bbl, and a 5-speed with the 260 V8 2bbl for 1978. You'd be more likely to see a Malibu with the 4-speed in 1978 than a Cutlass. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thanks.
