[DW31S]

There was an early 80s Olds for sale (I forget where) that was reported to be a factory built special race car that had never seen street use; I think it was on RacingJunk. When I sold new Oldsmobiles many moons ago, I "dream built" a lightweight Stocker using an '81 Cutlass wagon with all available factory components. Olds had a cheap version of a wagon with plain vinyl seats without a front armrest and cab-like trim. I sold a few cars without A/C, so I figured the wagon would not have air or radio. There were Cutlasses with aluminum hoods and core supports and some brackets, too. If you knew the ordering guide, there were options such as heavy duty wheels, heavy duty suspension, anti-slip, numerically higher gear ratios, and such. Aluminum intakes were on some engines and in some of the cars, depending on where it was built and how it was ordered, small block Chrevies were used. I figured the car could have been a hit in the lower NHRA stock classes.
