Graduated in ‘86, owned a Factory 4 Speed Calais out of Canada, pulling the 305 Chev and Saginaw for a ‘69 396 & M21, moving the tunnel back 4” AND was able to fit the donor Chevelle SS 396 12 Bolt in, just a little wider, but was still able to fit the factory Cutlass wheels. This was easily my favorite Car, even over the ‘70 SS 454 I restored and sold, (purring a whopping 75 miles on before being sold at Carlisle). Of course my dream car in High School was either a Monte Carlo SS , (knowing and buying ALL of the GM parts to switch it, but never happening) or the Yellow IROC Z, like the poster on my wall, (wonder if Roger Ausley still has the one he bought new;-) !
