That is not the exact car. It's just a picture of an SVX.
How I got it for free will, regrettably, have to remain a mystery until I take delivery, at which point I will be happy to share the art of getting free shit.
As far as a winter beater, yeah, it would make the ultimate one. They're really cool. 220hp 3.3 litre boxer six, makes 300 horsepower with bolt-on N/A mods. (I/H/E, chip)
I don't know if it's front or all wheel drive. If it's front, it's going directly on the auction block. If it's all, well that's a tough damn decision, now isn't it. A 5 speed swap is absolutely straightforward, the only complication being whether to use a cable or hydraulic clutch. (cable is easier) The auto tranny is most likely on it's last legs, as it was poorly designed for such an immense car. (over 2 tons)
I'll probably sell it, pull myself out of debt, and continue with the 240 turbo.
But for a few hours, I will own one of the most bizarre cars ever made.
1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442
