Ralph Taylor called us to let us know he had purchased an Olds 442 that was sitting alongside the road. His dream was to have a car that would go 100mph to California with the A/C cranked while he and his wife listened to books on tape. Our solution was a 525 HP LS3 crate motor with a six-speed manual transmission. We installed a QA1 coilover suspension kit to keep it hugging the road, along with front and rear disk brakes. We decided that a Vintage Air A/C system was the only choice to keep Ralph and his wife cool while out on the road. The Olds 442 was transformed into a classic car that drove and handled as well as a new Corvette.
