Black Cutlass Hybrid?
- Thread starter the wrath
- Start date
There is a guy who has an "FE3x" or something to that effect that he calls Darth Vader but it is 307 Olds powered. It was built like the concept car that Olds did in 87 that was featured in Car Craft.
There was one on ebay awhile ago that had a complete GN swap into it including the dash, GTA wheels, etc. I don't remember it having any flares or vents though, just all black.

that car is the fe3x w30 concept owned by angelo valenti and of the H/OCA the car is by nature an 85 442 and the conversion was done by GM with a prototype kit they had. The other car in reference would be the original Darth Vader fe3x and i belive its owned by olds or some olds musem. I got to ride in angelo's car last year at the hurst nats, it was defiently a dream come true as i've admired that car for years.

Do you have any pictures or links to pictures of either car?
The Olds concept car was actually in Car Craft mag in 1985/86. It featured a very stiff suspension, 5 spd, and the full body kit and adjustable rear wing. Try the Olds sites like 442.com. Someone has picts listed on their site. I know I have the magazine in my collection (better luck finding it on the net than looking through all those mags 
) I will see if I can find it also.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/494256 (the fifth and sixth pics down were taken when i got to ride in the car from our hotel to the indy muesem, he was gonna let me drive it later but it was raining
)i've seen both cars in person, the original vader at the olds nats in 2003 and of course my ride in the fe3x w30 concept last year at the Hurst Nats. They are very impressive cars being in all black like the GN.
back to the original question. there was a kid on oldspower.com that had a black 87 cutllass with GNX flares on it. I think his Screen Name was Big Block Olds.
443: i'd love to see some pics of your ride and maybe some advise. Sometimes i think about the swap and i get overwhelmed. I'm sure you could point me in the right direction.

To be honest I love the car and I really love the performance but if I had to do it again I would just find a nice T Type and modify it or just swap in another engine all together. Love the idea of a supercharged Northstar
If you want you can email me for any advice, problems I encountered, etc.
