1968 Oldsmobile Olds Cutlass S W31 W-31 Ram Rod 350 in Blue & Ride - My Car Story with Lou Costabile

[@brucevancamp4498]

I had a 1968 Olds 442 with the 4 speed. It was olive green with lime green interior, and boy was it fast. I had 3 of them altogether, 1968, 1973, and a 1972 with the hood scoops, 1968 was my favorite. Bucket seats, no power steering or brakes. Loved it.

My father had the 68 when I was a kid. This car left a lot big block owners surprised. These are very special cars. Dad had the 3:91 rears. The engine is balanced and blueprinted from the factory. The cam is special from factory and you could only have manual brakes because of lack of boost. It had a huge harmonic balancer. They were incredibly quick! Dad use to say you better know how to shift fast and clean ! I also believe they came with a heavy clutch. Mom made him get rid of it because she hated driving it. She said every time I pull away from a stop light I either stall it or I have the backend going sideways! I loved that car an hope to own one in the future.

I have seen these cars (Ram Rod 350) run down the Quarter Mile Track at the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags in Stanton, Michigan and I know for a fact, these Small Blocks are SUPER FAST!

[@danhoyland142]

I’m surprised you guys didn’t mention the special cam olds developed for this year which was only for w30 and w31 cars. Super aggressive 308 duration and 474 intake and exhaust I believe. It’s he reason why it was unavailable with power brakes bc it produces low vacuum. Great car, I absolutely loveee these.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Dan, Happy to shared the special cam and keep sharing your knowledge if I'm missing something, Lou

[@rightlanehog3151]

Lou, With the wide ratio 4 speed and 3.42 rear end, this was the 'sensible' way to equip your Ram Rod Cutlass. ;) Note to Sean - I was so glad to hear what you said about being "engaged" in your driving. That's why I drive a manual.

[@chrispappas3750]

Rear end ratios were 3:91 and 4:33, no 3:42 mentioned until '70. Check this article out, phscollectorcarworld.blogspot.com/2018/04/ghost-cars-1968-ram-rod-convertibles.html.

Lou, made aware Sean's car via the Olds club magazine...Journey With Olds. ...truly a rare gem...'68 the best looking of the bunch....Olds finished the sixties with three versions of their 350....W-31, Standard and 500 some examples of the QB...which according to one column in said magazine "produced more than the claimed 310 HP"...

Another guy I know had 1971 Cutlass SX 455, with Hurst Dual gate....I just remembered the tire smoke that car would generate! But Nobody had a W31 Ram Rod....I Love Olds, and had a number of Cutlass's over the years, 1972, 1973, 1975....

I bought one of these new in southern Indiana for around $3300. I won my class at the drags every time and won stock eliminator about half the time. It had the 4:33 and I bought a 4:66 for 1/8th mile racing. It was otherwise modified for NHRA legal. Twice it was challenged and once it was accused of having illegal heads and a guy paid to have a head pulled to "prove" that I was cheating. I wasn't, of course. Absolutely amazing car. In a fit of insanity, I sold it in 1970. I located it again, completely restored, on the east coast. The guy said that he wouldn't sell it but if he did he'd want at least $100K. There were two of these in Bedford, Indiana, and a Ram Air 442. We were all buddies. Great times.

Goodday Lou, Just watched the video, far out what a sinister black or blue beauty. In my opinion the W31 especially the 1968 are the most underrated, misunderstood, what is that muscle car from the muscle car era. People wouldn't expect such a beast from Oldsmobile, they don't associated small blocks with Oldsmobile. Almost 1 Hp per cubic inch, even Ma Mopar didn't have a small block with over 300 Hp. Cudos to Sean from such an awesome Oldsmobile. Just recently at Mecum Indy my favorite muscle car was a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutless S, with the L74 option, Green in colour. Got it as a screen saver on my laptop. Thank you for showing this magnificent W31, appreciated everything you do for us crazy muscle car lovers.

Just want to clarify something implicated here, which is that '68 442's did not have trumpet exhaust tips. I'm sure Lou meant "W-31's", but of course the 442 had trumpets in '68 with the dual cut-out bumper. Mine are still intact. Featured car here is fabulous!!

I’m 13 Years old, and i really want to be like you when i grow up:) I know it sounds strange, but as a 13 year old, i work hard to get money to buy classic cars. I currently own a 56 Imperial, and my father owns a 53 Buick Skylark, and a 58 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. I do have my own automotive KZbin channel but it’s very low on subscribers. So my question is, could you do a quick review on my channel and give it a personal opinion? Thanks Bjørn:)
