1984 Olds Cutlas Factory Drag Car?

I actually do remember reading about no-VIN Cutlasses sold to racers in the late 80s, here’s some more chat. I think they were more complete than body-in-whites, but not complete or street legal or registerable.

I think the first car in this video is one of them as well

Thanks for the thread link Tom. Very interesting that in that thread they mention that car had a 1988 front end on it. My friends car is the same....1984 main body with a 1987 front end. I'll ask him if his has a similar sticker in the trunk.
BTW, the Cutlass in the video looks just like my friends.

Olds provided quite a few of them to racers back in the 80s, and there were a handful of them still racing in stock eliminator/super stock a few years ago. You likely won't be able to find any factory records on what was provided. Another Olds forum that had a bunch of posts about them ~10 years ago is gone.

It's probably worth a post on classracer.com asking about them. The racing community tends to have a pretty good insight on this stuff. Names that come to mind are Jerry Ryan and Alan Warman, though Alan passed away a few years ago.
