He was Drifting that Riv around the corners! The old vid clips are funny to watch.

 

That guy had nerves of steel driving like that through corners. WOW. I'd love to try that with mine.

 

We don't need no stinkin' shoulder harness!
I wonder if he's even wearing the lap belt.

Love those old videos! :beer

 

"Stability was EXCELLENT as shown by this stop-action photo...":laugh:

But not ~quite~ shown in the slalom segment, where the car kept swerving through two cones that weren't even there!:TU:

 

Oh and just noticed the vid is exactly "4:55" long - very cool!:bglasses:

 

Good catch!!!!

I wonder what an improvement would be seen today with better brakes/suspension and tires???

Anyone wanna try????:laugh:

 

What's parked in the grass at 3:52?

 

'73 Malibu ?

 

No,
'73 Cutlass.
Look, at the sculpting of the lower fenders. (to me the 76 and 77 Cutlass was the best looking Cutlass. When they removed that lower fender scuplting)

My best friend had a 73 Riv GS 455. He would leave me eating dust in My 73 Olds 88 455.

 

So Bully, is that what made you come around???????:laugh: :laugh:

 

:idea2:Just, if Olds would offered a W30 package for the 88! :laugh:Ha!
In 1982 I was looking for a Centurion or Lesabre convertible. But, this '73 88 came up in great shape from the original owner with 30k miles. It was like a brand new car. Buick was still #1, for me, ever since Dad got the Roadmaster, in 1970. It was his first Buick. But he still like the Lincolns. He's on his tenth Lincoln since, 1973.
