He didn't give me any details. I stopped by the guy's place to check out a 70 T/A he's restoring, and we got on the subject of G-bodies somehow. I mentioned that I'd heard a story about Olds giving out some sort of specially modded Cutlass to loyal Olds Stock and S/S racers back in the early-mid 80's, and he mentioned the Myrtle Motors deal, but didn't know anything other than they supposedly built them.

I'm not nearly as knowledgeable on the state of the aftermarket for GM back then as I am for Ford, so I'm not sure what might have been done to them in terms of heads or intakes or if they had blowers/nitrous or whatever. There was a dealership in Chicago selling supercharged Firebirds around that time period, but I don't know much about them, either. The Myrtle Motors deal could just be an old wive's tale.

That's an interesting article, although I see all the internet Einstein's are working their magic in the comments section. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img] A lot of people don't realize that the Fox was actually due to replaced by a front driver twice; once in 1983 or '84 and again in 87 by the Probe. It's hard to imagine what the performance world would look like today if that had happened.
