Tranny went at 142,000 lost 2nd gear, but drove about 1000 miles and lost 3rd, still had first so I could get it home.
Rear drums cracked, but they were the ones that came on the car in '77.
Carb needs to be junked.
This car is NOT quick, but will do 90 if you need to. The ride is excellent, espically for 30 YEAR OLD SHOCKS AND SPRINGS!!! seats are plush and you don't feel anything. Very ROOMY, love it. Like I said its no sports car, but will roast em. Car has towed also 3 cars, 2 dodge daytona's one 30 miles on a blown transmission *look above* with 1st and 3rd. And also towed a 91 GMC jimmy a distance up some mighty hills, you could say this is a truck with a car body. The olds 403 has alotta potential could be turned fast. Would buy another!
1977 in the 21st century = HOOPTIE!!!
Yet another objective, intelligent comment. Enjoy your car payment = BROKE!!!
I have several cars: 88 TransAm GTA, 2002 Expedition, 99 Cadillac STS. But my favorite is the 82 Olds Custom Cruiser full size RWD Station Wagon (same body as 77-90 Olds full size RWD)
New cars are common and cheaply made. Old Cars Rule!
