I was driving an '81 Cutlass with a Olds 350 on it. I loved the car, but the body mounts were rusting out and the rear tires would rub sometimes on the inner wheel well. I bought the car for $700 (perfect shape at the time, no rust, new 350) but needed a tranny. I replaced it with a stage 2 B&M from Summit. The Cutlass ran high 12's low 13's (some mods). I worked 2nd shift and every night after work for 3 weeks I stopped by to look at the Contour. I didn't know about SVT at the time, I kept saying "there's something different about that car" but I didn't think there was anyway that I would be able to afford it... Finally, one day I decided to stop by the dealership and test drive it. An hour later I drove to work in my brand new SVT Contour. (I was 18 at the time) 3 trannies. 2 sets of tires, a clutch, and an engine later I still can't bring myself to get rid of it...
