Pretty crazy combination; 1982 Cutlass, AWD, Lingenfelter supercharged 402 LS2!

Pros: I love G-bodies. Kudos to him for making a nice one.
Cons: If he was my neighbor, I'd still call the cops. That driveway burnout nonsense is just dumb and dangerous.

That was awesome!! I love those bodystyle Olds and and Buicks!! BUT the ghetto aftermarket wheels are hideous. He needs to put the oem Cutlass wheels back on.
That was a very sad example of abuse of a fine classic car.
How did they get the car to be AWD ?

What's even more lame for you is, you wasted the time to post about it.

I'm guessing the drivetrain out of something like a Trailblazer SS.

I think it's actually a really cool modernized boutique G body.
But some of you like original....... I'll show you an original G body.

Cubic dollars.
Or as noted, a transplant from a similar-sized SUV.
Gotta say I'm really curious about the front suspension setup, bet that's no live axle under there, nor a particularly direct swap of any SUV IFS, either. Lots O custom, I bet.

Looks like a very nice and very fun G-Body, though I agree with some others that I'd probably change the wheels.
I think Grand National/T-Type or GNX style wheels would look awesome on that car.

I wonder what grade of oil he runs?

Cool video, he put a lot of $$$ in that car.
Ill take a Grand Sport Vette for the same money.

Surely tons of fab work, but I think Drew might be spot on about it using GMT360 running gear. The Trailblazer SS and Saab 97X were both pretty low slung, AWD, V8s, using the 4L70E trans. Pretty good stuff for doing something like this. 97Xs don't have very good resale considering the powertrain equipment many have.
