- I find out if this 78 Cutlass, that has been sitting since 2005, will crank over, start, run and drive once again.

Nice work again, Man. Something about old G-bodies coming back to life is comforting. Save everyone you can.
Agree! I do what I can to save them. This one has too many rust issues to invest into it
@@ClassicGBodyGarage I am lucky that we stopped driving our G body back in 1988-1989. My frame still has all of its black wax on it. The body is also really nice minus the inner door seams. Take care!
That car is from my hometown! It's Knowbloch Olds-Toyota. It's pronounced Kno-Blow
Ha that's pretty cool!
My 1982 Malibu Classic has a TH250c backing up the 229 V6. What a "power team".
I had a silver 78 Regal with the 3.8 liter V6 and had nothing but trouble with it and had 75,000 miles on it. Had my mechanic pull it out and put a used 350 V8 in it and ran great after that swap. This 78 doesn’t look too bad other than the rear quarters. Too bad you couldn’t keep it on the road. I still have my parents 80 Cutlass Supreme with 38K on the 260 V8. Wish it had the 307, but it still runs well. Always enjoy your videos and Welcome back.
Someone could fix this car up if they want but honestly between the frame and quarters it's not worth it. Appreciate your support
car be fairly easy fix like here were you cant find them that car go 3k all day long but if you already have to many and need parts its worth more that to you in parts
What a blast from the past. I haven't heard a carbureted 231 running in several years. I had several G-bodies and got out of them to get into Mopars. I'm keen to get back into the scene but I never see one on the road and rarely on Facebook marketplace. I drag raced my 1985 Grand Prix against my buddy's '78 regal and those 2G-equipped engines run much better than the later version. It ran off and left the GP. I think theyredesigned the heads on them at one point.
Gotta get one again!
Miss my’78 Cutlass Supreme! Same color too, but the interior was blue, also the 231 ci, 3.8L
Not registration sticker it is a yearly inspection sticker which is required in pa unlike Ohio
Nice find brother, id change all the fluids, new brakes, and tires, amd daily it, that interior looks really good, great gas mileage as well. Looks low miles a lot of paint on that Buick 231.
How bout a battle of the Slow? That V6 vs a stock 260; both have 110hp. 260 has 2.29 gear: -V6 2.56>>>>🤔
Hey I have 79 Monte Carlo needs some interior panel and seats what other model cars seats and interior panels will fit
Any 2 door Gbody with the same roofline as a Monte, the seats will fit yours. Plus the A, B pillar panels, lower door panels and rear lower panels will all fit. The sail panels are not interchangeable.
I had a 79 two tone red and white with t tops back in 98, and a 77 red with tan top in 03. Man I miss them cars😢
Awesome find I love g bodies great video my man thanks for sharing
I've never had any luck with those Buick v6s. Glad yours isn't poo poo. I know you've been sitting on this video awhile since it's like Siberia today here in Ohio. Thanks for posting it. Keep those g body videos rolling out.
Yep filmed during the summer. Thanks for watching
Good work man thank you so much for 78 to 80 cutlass vids love seeing these cars get love
Honestly wish it was in better shape be worth saving with all the extras with it
She beautiful I always love that body style I use her as a daylily driver
I love your videos about these great cars. Do you still have the emblem from Knobloch Olds? My Cutlass came from Erie (it's in Texas now) and that would make a great addition to my car.
email me at classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
My friend buried one of these cars in his grandfather's large backyard back in the late 1980's....I wonder if it's still there.....
Would love to see a video digging that car back up seeing whats left of it
Huh?? Why did he bury it?
thats what people use to do with cars when they quit there's 57 chevy buried in my back yard been there since 70s im told
Chickens approve @10:36
Hey Brain do you have cars for sale?
I post to my Instagram page and will start advertising them on the brand website, links in the description.
Hello there brother good to see u posting again would you be interested in selling any cars I'm looking for cutlass if you do let me know
What's up. Thanks for watching. My email is in the description if you would like to contact me
Starts right up and no smok
Awesome!!! The documents are actually really cool!!
almost make it worth fixing
PLEAS?KEEP DOING VIDEOS WEEKLY WISH I COULD GET A GARAGE GOING WITH YOU GUYS AN PUSH THE SHOW
MY FIRST CARS A 1978 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS 403 CAR
ITS A VICTOR SOMETHING SIGNATURE SERIES ALL GREEN
BUT NOW ITS A HARD TOP WITH 403
I JUST STARTED REBUILDING IT ALL IN THE PAST YEAR
I NEED PARTS MAN
LET ME KNOW I BEEN WATCHING FOR YEARS LETS GET A SHOP GOING WINDSOR ONTARIO
Sounds like a GN! 🖒
That sticker is an inspection sticker. They did put the registration on the plate but don't do that anymore as it's electronic. But yea that's an inspection sticker on the windshield. If you ever get one with two stickers it came from a county that requires emissions also.
Good to know!
Awesome time capsule!
I miss my 79 Chevy Malibu 2 door with the 3.8 V6.
Nice channel, I’ve been looking for 78 tail lights for my cutlass. If u know wher I can find some I would appreciate it
Thanks for watching. I see them all the time on ebay
Looks like it needs an lt4 with a 10 speed auto sir....😎👊🏻
I’d part out that car if the frame was rotted through in all spots and the car is bending in half
That's its destiny
Do you ever run across any 78-80 Monte Carlos? It seems as if you are pro Oldsmobile with a lil Pontiac sprinkled in
Always run across them. Been trying to get a 79 Monte ttops local. Guy is a real pain to deal with. I have many Montes and Malibus i have not posted about. Follow my Instagram and you will see them
i have a question, can you find a 1978 with extremely super super low like almost lets say ten thousand miles and runs like new without any problems and will last for a few yrs? i ask this cause i would love to learn to make this my first car to learn to drive while studying to drive it once i pass the test? do you recommend that or should i invest in a brand new car like something this year
An almost new 1979 Cutlass with 5,000 miles just sold at auction for nearly $40,000 Something that original and low miles is not one to learn to drive with. I would suggest buying a cheap car that is about 15 years old.
My favorite car
Inside look nice
love cutlass
Your back
I need that steering column. How much?
email me classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
Cool 🥰
Nice
So glad to see you post another video! I've had a G-body since 1993, but it wasn't until I started watching your channel a few years ago that I realized I barely knew anything about the car. From going through and refreshing the gauge cluster, to replacing the dry-rotted window sweeps, I've learned and applied so much from your videos. In fact, it was the first channel I ever subscribed to. Keep up the good work. I appreciate the time and energy you put into filming, editing, posting etc. Especially considering you have to balance that with work and family. Hats off to you!
Really means a lot! Thanks for watching and your support!
One of the first cars I owned was a 1978 Cutlass Calais. I loved that car until the 305 let go. I wanted to drop another engine in it back then, but needed $$$ and let someone talk me out of it. Always regretted letting it go.
Hi Brian, cool channel. Quick question for you, where can I buy the rubber strips that push into the chrome bumpers on a 79 Grand Prix? Not the 2 " rubber blocks" but the 2 thin black rubber strips that run horizontal across the length of the bumpers. They have the tabs that push into the small holes all the way across the bumpers to hold them in. I can't find them anywhere!!! So frustrating!! Any ideas? I also need the clear reverse light lenzs that go in rear bumper. Thanks any info is appreciated 👍
Thanks for watching. You cannot buy them new and you will have to hunt them down on ebay, forums, Classic Gbody Garage on Facebook etc.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage thanks..bummer.
I'm looking for a center console for my 1986 cutlass
Do you have any videos or can you make one about the stock emissions system? I have a 1979 chevy el camino that Im trying to get to pass emissions. I have my new carb, charcoal canister, smog pump, and bracket, egr valve, all i need is the smog diverter valve. I need to know more about the smog pump tubing, i only have driver side smog "tubing" not sure what they are called. Im going off the manual but it very limited on detail. Can you help with some footage or advice?
Smog pumps have tubes on both heads. If you are having trouble passing then lean out the carb and put it back after it passes. Also make sure your oil is clean.
I cant figure out the passenger side tubes. I got my oil changed. Got all my parts except that passenger side tubing. I cant find where it would connect to manifold.
I had a 1984 Buick Regal coupe. It was a cream color with blue interior. Had a cassette radio, rear defogger, 3.8 litre V6, power windows, power locks, sport mirrors, bucket seats with dual recliners, rallye wheels. I have money coming from a settlement and plan to buy a GM G body car just as a hobby car.
Hey can I get the whole interior
I am using most of it. Email me and we can work something out if you want. classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
Hey❗
Brain G-body. I'm interested in that one hurst wheel. Whacha gotta have for it🤔
How do you manage to keep all of them up and running? I can barely keep up with the 4 vehicles I have now
They all dont run and will have plenty if videos coming of me getting them running. Thanks for watching
I need 2 bumpers front and back for a 1986 cutlass salon 442
I have a 78 cutlass with red interior. Are u interested in selling some of the interior parts
What are you going to do with it.
Probably pull some of the parts I need off it and sell the car. Not sure yet.
Have a cutlass thats been setting for a long time,have the keys doors wont open,Ive sprayed pb blaster in the lock and everwhere else that I can,have any tips or tricks
Love ur vids man don’t stop what you’re doing.
Great find on that olds cutlass,congratulations,man.
Where'd you go???
Posting again.
It has 1 442 w30 wheel
I put it on there from my parts stash, other tires woudlnt' hold air
Nice video great to bring back to life
When I got my 79 Olds Cutlass it made a ticking sound like that on the 5.0. Someone tuned it up put the distributor cap on crooked, it was loud in the car. I pulled on it it snapped into position no more noise
I have had that happen too.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage I did not know how else to write you. I figured out why my 79 Cutlass came with a fiberglass hood and a HO motor. I bought it from Centech Corp it was a fleet vehicle also known as a COPO so to speak. I was very young when I bought it I thought they all ad the same. My choice vehicle then was a new pickup. After having it 24 hours with 1 inch thick sway bars and the power it had fell in love. It is shiny brown like a sleeper. Out ran a few police in the day then go around the corner drove slow they would think no way was it that car. It was a blast.
@@etmesi Very cool man!
How much do you want for that radio bezel?
email me classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
Ok will do. Today
Do you have a website where you sell parts
find good v6 body drop that drive train in any thing starts and runs that good deserves a 2nd life as a daily driver
My Olds has set for years and runs when I start it. I had a friend he left his Mercedes sit went to start it the whole engine caved in.
You’re doing a great job! 😃
Thanks brother. Maybe someday I can be as good as VGG.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage thats the 1 other channel i watch on here to people reading this if your reading this and dont get what were talking about with VGG look up vice grip garage on here you want regret it
Do you have a cutlass that has a t-top & willing to cut the roof off & sell it?
I have this engine in one of my cutlass. It will run forever as long as you don't run it out of oil or coolant.
Hey I found your channel recently and am glad to see you still making content! I have a 1978 cutlass with a red interior like that one - any interest in selling parts off it? Great video!
What's up. Thanks for watching. I sell parts and bought the car to use most of the interior. My email is in the description if you need to contact me with your needs
Good to have u back man miss the videos
Appreciate your support!
How much for the trunk center emblem with key hole
I am using it for one of my other cars
Sir could you please do a video on the ECU that comes with a factory G Body V8 carb engine? And explain where each wire plugs into where and what they are for?…..I have a 307 v8 factory engine in my 1987 Buick Regal (not the limited or the grand national just the regular Regal) and I’m new to this lol but I’ve learned and fixed so much already and now I’m noticing my entire ECU harness, or at least almost all of it, isn’t even hooked up to nothing in my engine compartment..?!?!…..my car seems to be running good but I can’t find ANY video giving a good explanation of how this harness hooks up on a factory G Body v8 engine 😢 if you read this and you don’t already have a video on it that im just not seeing, please HELP 🙏
just get non computer carb and vacuum distributor 9 times out 10 computers gone bad after 40 years dont work even if plug up
Been watching your videos since I was in high school man. Really hope to see more from you, you always have really good videos. Would love to see an update on everything you have! Merry Christmas!
Really appreciate your support! Yeah I am guna do my best to keep the videos coming!
@@ClassicGBodyGarage hi 👋 nice video love those cars I had 2 Oldsmobile cutlass in 1998 one was a 1984 with the V6 3.6 l what A great car hope you make a video of you buick grand national
@@thechampion9525 There is an entire serious on the GN, check my channel.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage really I just watched the last one when you drove the car for the first time since then are you upload something more about it ? I would like you get one Monte Carlo SS I like those ones too
Correct last year for the 2GC then Duel Jet, like on my 1978 Chevy Caprice, actually a nice base car, be a nice driver even with the 231 unfortunately it’s just rotted out. Bet under the valve covers it’s clean as a whistle!
Merry Christmas Brian 👍
Brian would you sell the original key buzzer out of it I have been looking for one!!!!!! 🙏
Merry Christmas and thanks for watching!
Yey a new video!! You should post more often.
That's the plan!
That car is a saver u have all the paperwork that came with it worth restoring it I think .. how much $$$$$ before u chop it up more
email me classicgbodygarage@gmail.com if you're serious but paper for this car is meaningless really. If it was a limited production car then yes. This was a mass produced base model car that was driven hard and put away wet.
I'm rebuilding a 84 cutlass. My builder wanted to use a 6l80e trans but my mechanic says a 4l80e fits better. What you take on this?
Depends on your application? More speeds are always better for fuel economy. 4L is 4 speeds and 6L is 6. I am only familiar with a 4L and they are strong!
@@ClassicGBodyGarage that's what my builder mention and it would have been fine, but I have a immaculate interior and I don't want to cut the floor.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage engine is 6.0 cast iron ls stoked out(600hp).
@@andresramirez3681 put a 4L60E in it then
@@ClassicGBodyGarage thank you for your response. Hope to reach out to you to soon to get a schedule of events or maybe start something here in Chicago if not started yet. Thanks
That interior looks mint.
Panels and dash are nice
Welcome back! I'm about to do the long brake line (proportioning valve back to the diff) on my 85 Regal turbo and based on appearances it sure does look like I need to lift the body up off the frame (yikes!), any tips? Transmission is already out, so maybe I'm making this seem more difficult than it is!
You do not need to lift the body!
Thanks for watching! I have done that line many times. It's a job to route it back in place but it's possible. Yes removing the body is best but in most cases is not an option. I always put tape over each end of the line so dirt doesnt get inside. Its actually more difficult if it's one solid line which places like InLine Tube sell but I do 2 pieces with a brass junction cuz it's easier to install a short line up there vs a long one. Chances are you wont get the line exactly how it was from the factory but as long as its secure and doesnt rub on anything. Good luck.
Thanks for the tips! I'll give it another try this week, hope to have good news!
@@ClassicGBodyGarage I ended up lifting the body and doing the body mount bushings while I was in there. With the body up about 4-5" it was a 10 minute job to get the old one out and the new one in!
Getting the trunk-area body mount bolts out was its own job though, yikes! Thanks again for the tips!
Hey. I that gray regal. For sale?
Follow in Instagram for anything for sale. Link in the description.
How much for the dash
I am keeping it for myself.
Just fix it up bro
Not with a bad frame. Better served as parts.
How can I get that shirt?
