That Cutlass looks like it was ready for the crusher. Glad your out there saving them. Are you going to restore it? If you do I think you should name The Crusher Cutlass! You're amazing at what you do. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great videos.

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

Yeah it was and is a wreck. I looked it over very carefully before I parted it out and there was no saving it every panel on the body was either rotted or badly dented. Extensive roof rot did it in. It's not worth saving.

Hey Brian love the video's they are a huge help. How about a video installing aftermarket gauges like temp,oil and voltage? I think that would be a good video tutorial since that's a very common issue. Another would be adjusting/tuning of the carburetor. 2 very common issues and would be very beneficial!! Thanks in advance

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

I also have a 78 SS 350 4-speed El Camino there were 1775 of a made out of 54236 El Caminos for 1978 I've always enjoyed your videos and I share the same sentiments as you about G bodies you've done very well

[@jonpaulschafer1871]

On that 78 No power front disc brakes manual steering is it a Canadian car ? I'm curious of the VIN number I'm sure you probably heard of the Iraqi taxis there were like 15 thousand 1979 Malibu 4 doors that with 200 v6s along with RPO f41 sway bars the Iraqi government ordered for taxis and then they had problems with the Saginaw 3 speed shift linkages and they cancelled the orders on them several of them were sold to the Canadian public at a discount you're fortunate enough to get a scrap National in your future I think you'll find your 350 Super Sport El Camino I found mine by opening up a paper in 2002 the guy that owned it sold it 2 days before I got there for $501 so so I became his friend he was very depressed and wanted to drink himself to death he had many family problems which I helped him and gave him courage to work through it and after 2 weeks he told me where the car was and I went to that guy and offered in 1500 cash 2 months later he called me back and said you want the car come-and-get-it 1500 bucks he didn't tell me it had a blown head gasket and he said it's not a super sport course I'd done my homework and I knew it was After I pulled the gas tank I found the build sheet RPO z15 Super Sport there's more to the story after I got the car there was problems with the title and it got stuck in limbo for three months I had the car in my driveway but I didn't know if I would ever get it legally registered but in the end it worked out like you I'm very detailed about G bodies and because you're the type of person you are I believe that you will find another 350 SS 78 at a reasonable price I'm believing that for you after all look at your 79 Malibu 305 4 speed car I also regret selling with no engine my 1968 Nova Sport coupe center console bucket seats non SS 307 Powerglide with 273 gears it was a weird combination car with dog dish hubcaps hope I didn't text too much
