I wanna say that it may have been called &quot;Project O&quot; or something like that. </div></div>

I've heard stories about some sort of special lightweight G-body Cutlass back then, but I've never been able to nail down any details. I wonder if they would have come on an MSO or a bill of sale only... </div></div>

There are a few floating around, some still running stock eliminator with 307's and doing very well. These cars were typically bill of sale only. Some were early 80s with updated front clips to look like newer body styles. One of them was for sale over a year ago turn key for around $25k... Rick and Jerry Ryan run one of them. Alan Warman had one, but he passed away a while back, and I think the car got caught in a shop fire as well. Some info on them here...
