Thank you for featuring this car Lou. I absolutely love these rallye 350s. I’ve only seen one in person my entire life and ironically seen two drive past me on the other side of the highway going there opposite direction. I remember the first time I learned about these cars. Me and my friends were riding our bmx bikes and we pedaled into a mobile gas station which must of been about 1996 or so. It was one of the older style stations with a big double window on the side and we saw the big yellow back half roofline and were emediately drawn to peek in the window. We didn’t know what the hell it was and we must of tried for 10 minutes looking around the windows of building to get a better look. I remember peeking in and seeing the big yellow spoiler and thinking “ what the hell is this???I love it!”. I wrenched my neck and in the Corner of my eye I read “ rallye 350” and emmediately remember thinking “ wow”. Anyways it was there for a month and we all routinely rode to the station to look at it and never got to hear or see it run which really pissed me off bc I wanted to learn more about it so bad. This car was one of the cars that started my fascination with muscle cars. I shortly after had my mom drive me to Barnes and noble bc the internet sucked at the time and had her buy me a big book on muscle cars and I dissected that thing for years. That’s when I learned it was an olds and had 310 horse yada yada. Anyways, best part is these are affordable still and this one is one of the better ones bc most are bench seat like he said AND have column shift. Also, you might want to ask him if that that 350 was just a rebadged cutlass supreme 350 4barrel with the cold air induction added on. I really think that’s all it was bc the four barrel in the supreme was rated at 310 horse aswell. It would make sense bc it would keep the price down and also since it wasn’t a radical keep insurance prices down. Anyways, this thing rules! Nice job as always.

No they are a W-45 option I know where there is one next city from where I am that is how they came I've been asking him many times to buy it but he won't sell it I would put it in the barn with my '70 442 W-30 and the rest of the parts...
Gary - very cool car. especially in banana yellow. yea ha! I think I need one. Awesome. great purchase. enjoy sir. - Lou good job as always covering this knockout machine. still looks great after 51 years.
I remember the only one I've ever seen in person Spokane WA good guys car show 2007 guess that's a memorable car you always seem to find the greatest cars to show off thanks again Lou.
I live in NE Ohio and when I was a kid, we had railroad tracks that were about a 1/10 of a mile behind out house. We always had trains going by. I remember one specific day back in 1970 when a train was pulling, I think about 8 car carriers full of these yellow Cutlass Rally 350’s. There was probably 8 cars double stacked per car. The train happened to stop right behind our house. I high tailed it back there and got a close up look at the cars. They were beauties sitting there. It was quite a sight to see. I loved those cars ever since. Nice video Lou, which triggered a great memory.

That sounds exactly like the little town I'm from in Ohio. I also saw the cars and have a picture of them on the train cars. what town are you talking about?
@@sallybrown4947 I live in Alliance, OH which is between Canton and Salem, near route 62. The cars were traveling northwest I believe which would head towards Cleveland, but if it was traveling southeast it was heading towards Pittsburgh. That is neat that you remember seeing them also. Where did you see them at?
There was one of these in the small town I was raised in Gahanna, Ohio. It was in the Hunters Ridge development and driven by a young housewife. It was a bit different as the bumpers were chrome instead of painted. Great looking car.
I love this car. It looks sort of like the dashboard and door of our Sebring 1970 Vista Cruiser. I had to chuckle seeing Dr. Oldsmobile after so many years!. And Gary mistaking the mileage brushing it off oh I have so many cars. Shout out to Dean! Personally I love yellow sports cars: Cream, Meadowlark and Sebring. I honestly have to admit I don't remember seeing this car although I'll ask my brother. I noticed no electric windows. Loved the button that moves the bucket forward. Racing mirrors and stripes. Thanks. Loved it
I graduated highschool in '79 so it was '77 thru about' '82. Dude I hung out with had one with a swapped 4 spd and rebuilt engine. A little head work, dual plane, better Holley and headers along with a bigger cam. This thing had an idle to die for and sounded great winding it out Olds 350 could hold its own to anything back then. But no joke,it wasn't a sleeper since it stuck out day or night with all that YELLOW, but it was a cool ride.
Nice olds, looks like it has been in an accident on the driver side where the vin tag is and under the driver's side dash is dented up, but none the less a great car.

That is a lot of yellow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the color-keyed bumpers on anything but the GTO Judge back in the day. I saw in the brochure that the wheels had no trim rings, so I’m glad to see these wheels actually have some chrome added…nice touch. Thanks Lou for a bright yellow morning to our rainy weather!
Very nice! Like the other commenters, I did not realize Olds has body coloured bumpers. This Cutlass is a great example and a great Car Story. Thanks Lou!

It looks great both inside & out! I've always felt Olds had the best interiors in this class, and with that bright yellow paint, and black & orange trim, it's just fantastic! Thanks, Lou!

When I was in college (mid-1990s) one day I spotted an older lady picking up her grandkids at the day school across from our small campus. She was driving a worn, faded, but solid 'yellow 70 Rallye 350!! All the striping and decals were still evident. She saw me gawking (guess she was used to that) so I walked over to say hi and ask if I could see the car. She told me that she and her husband had purchased the Olds new and were finally getting ready to sell it after what was then 24-25 years of ownership. I took her number and name--she was asking, I think, $6,500 at the time!! I wasn't in the market then as I owned a muscle car already, and was helping my brother build his as well. I asked around but none of my various gearhead friends and acquaintances could put together the funds, or they didn't have anywhere to store the car, or whatever the reasons. Hope it found a good home and is out there being enjoyed.
Very unique Olds! I've never actually seen one of these before. The color combination is perfect for this car with the color matching bumpers. GREAT VIDEO LOU.
Hi Lou, How are you doing? thank you for one more masterpiece! I love these Rallye 350s and the color! This sunshine car you can't miss on the road! :)
Hey Fred, the earlier Ram Rods were the Cutlass W-31 engine. These were bigger valve engines with W30 Camshaft. They were such hi- overlap cams they could not support vacuum assist brakes! Very similar but this car would have a milder camshaft.
All those upgrades in the W45 package, but no sport gauge package! @ 7:38 you can see the U21 option wasn't mandatory and wasn't checked. Surprising until you find out that W45 was just an appearance and handling package, not a performance package. If you wanted a performance package you ordered a 4-4-2, a 4-4-2 W30 or a Cutlass S W31. If you wanted a bare bones performance car you could order an F-85 W31... all of the performance but none of the upscale interior trim of the Cutlass S W31. It needs to be said, though, that even without any engine upgrades, this car had plenty of power in its day... probably more power than the bias ply glass-belted tires could safely handle.
I owned that same car you're showing. I wish I still had it it was beautiful and it really gave a good ride the color the body shape I loved it. And the 350 was number one engine in my book

Hi Good Russian, When I'm around cars I'm great :-) How are you? Happy to read the details you enjoy with this car. I appreciate your encouraging words. Blessings received, God bless you too. Lou
Beautiful car . In the early 80s a junkyard near bethal manor and tabb ,va. , had a 1970 ralley 350 , and. 1970 buick gsx, the gsx had a roll bar in it . 2 of the best gm cars made in 1970 in the junkyard . Now they would be worth a fortune . I had a 71 ,and a 72 442 . Both 455 , i have a 78 trans am ,black of course ,that I've owned since the nineties , and a ss camaro. But i love and miss my 442s.

Growing up in San Diego, alot of families had Oldsmobiles, including my family. We had a Ninety-Eight. My best friend's mother had a Delta Eighty-Eight convertible. Many families rode in the comfort of the Vista Cruiser. So, I am familiar with Oldsmobiles. Did I mention that my Uncle had a Cutlass? Well this 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350 is about as sharp looking as they come! What a classic car! Very easy on my eyes.

When I was in my late teens (late 80's), I remember seeing one of these driving around Lodi, NJ by an older lady. I always wondered what happened to that car. You're right Lou, if you see one on the street you never forget it. Love all the Olds muscle cars, with the '69 Hurst Olds being my #1. I did own a '70 442 non W30 for a time. I threw a rod and had no clue how to rebuild motors at the time so I sold it cheap around '89 or '90. Sometimes you make the dummest choices.

Hello Lou. Very interesting Olds. It is very rare. I knew the same model , but it was 442 with a 455 engine. Congratulations to his owner, beautiful car, and thanks for share it.
Goodday Lou, Thank you for showing an Oldsmobile, I get the feeling this one is for me. You wouldn't miss this one in traffic absolutely gorgeous. 350 cubic inch L74 producing 310 Hp not to be sneezed at. Gary is one lucky guy. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Another great video Lou. I didn't know that they made as many as the owner said. I thought it was only about a thousand to 1,200 of them built. I always wondered if the painted bumpers were popular. I wouldn't mind having one myself. The Yellow reminds me of the Saturn Yellow that came on the 70 Buick GSX. Were these cars available with 4 speeds or were they all automatics?
Hi PlymouthDuster225, I'm guessing they had 4 speeds too, however I'm hoping a Viewer can share knowledge. Hope you're behind the wheel of the right one for you soon, Lou
Hi, Lou! Rallye around the Oldsmobile! Right from the beginning, the birds were all singing its praises! LOL! "Mandatory options" may be an oxymoron, but on a car like this, all those items are definitely a must! A lot of folks have said that 1970 marked the height of the muscle car era. That yellow ain't mellow! 350 thanks to you and Gary for this incredible rocket ride through the curves, and yes, I trust Dean will be very excited indeed!
One of the “classic” cars I owned in the 70’s, was a beautiful Olds Cutlas S, with a 350 4 barrel and gorgeous chrome spoked hubs! I loved that car! Then I got a Buick Skylark GS - which blew my mind! And THEN I discovered Mopar! Which led to two Dusters, and then came my all time fav - a 1970 300, with a 440. Now I’m old and drive a RAV4 - anyone got a time machine? I love cars Peace

@@loucostabile Hey Lou - thanks for the shout back! I’m so happy to have a direct response from you, with sooo many subs, and sooo many comments! Thanks for what you do! When I’m feeling my years, I look up My Car Story, and I’m suddenly 20 again! Peace
So from all of those cars you owned the 1970 Chrysler 300 was your favorite? Because of the 440.?..the ride...both? I kind of like a slightly bigger car for my main cruiser with air...love Buick 455's myself (74 GS 455 Century).
@@gt-37guy6 I always loved that “long and low” look that began around 1960. The 69 and 70 300’s were the longest and lowest! The “bankers sports car” tag always appealed to me too. The 440’s were bullet proof and much easier for my limited mechanical skills to work on, as opposed to the big hemi’s. I’m feeling like I suddenly need a “summer” car. I can tell you, though, my little RAV4 is quite amazing - it’s THE most desirable one - a 2006 with a six cylinder. They detuned this motor for 2007, but in 2006 it made 268 hp! It’s very light, so it goes like stink! Couple this with 2006’s having proper 4wd, instead of Awd. The 6 cylinder,2006 RAV4 is a true anomaly! I had a Chevy S10 SS in the mid 90’s - this RAV 3.5 V6, is just as fast as the S10 with its 4.3 litre V6! Peace

What a clean engine bay. Nice throaty exhaust. I'm waiting for the day when the jack instructions are skipped. Awesome "Trunk and Treats" that actually focused on the featured car. You did a great job of showing the steering wheel while he was describing it along with giving proper coverage to the console and bucket seats that were such desirable options. It's great to see as car story featuring a car so nicely appointed. Lou thanks for asking the key questions about how he got the car and why. An impressive My Car Story!
@@garyblythe1837 thanks for watching! I live in Goodyear. I've been working on my Trans Am but I plan to restore the engine compartment in my Rallye 350 next November.
Closest NHRA pure-stock drag race I ever had was against one of these cars with my yellow '69 Boss 302 Mustang. It wasn't until we got our time slips before we found out who won. I won by 1/100th of a second.

I could have bought that car at the Carlisle car show in 1994 for $4,000 w 8,000 miles on it from some old guy selling it but I wasn't familiar with the rally 350 and I balked at it ... Damn I wish I bought that car
The Pontiac version of this car was the rare 1970-71 LeMans GT-37 sport coupe musclecar, available as a 2-door hardtop or a sport coupe with side pillar post.
I've never seen 1 on the street but did see 1 at a Chicago World of Wheels show back in the 90s that was a bit different. The 1 had Hurst badges and a 4 speed, no rear wing. Yellow on black, Cutlass S, but the window sticker said W30. Same hood, same stripes. Same HO 350. That car was stickered at over $5k with a/c, tilt, p/s, power disc, p/w, p/l, AM/FM 8 track, buckets, center console, posi 3.42, rallye gauges with Sun tach, and the wrapped bumpers, which at some point were stripped and painted yellow, according to the owner. The owner said he thinks the car was a special order demo. Build date was 4 of 1970.
I have owned two 1970 Oldsmobiles. I never did like the monochromatic yellow on these and it is still a 70 olds :-) What's not to like? My 1970 442 had a 350 in it. The 350 definitely has some guts! The 1970 Old's suffered from what I called "Cutlass face" The front bumpers were easily misaligned causing the center to dip down slightly and the ends to turn up slightly, looking like a smile, hence the nickname "Cutlass face". I have definitely banged my head on the hood lip in the center too...
all those 1970 olds cutlass's the 442, the 2x models, the w30 version and the rallye's and several more im missing are a.. great cars, I love the 455 performance n body styles the sound of the motor, and those cars was the fastest on the road pretty much n so much fun to cruise, I think the ones with the rear spoilers I like the best, going to have to buy me a olds 422 I think this year, since my new garage is built already
Excellent automobile. Gary keeps it in flawless shape. Its great that he has left most of it undisturbed, I really appreciate that he makes this available to your viewing audience.

Would have been nice to see the drivers side under the hood the front of the heads for the letter or number along with the exhaust manifold or headers not many people know that the Rally or W-31 had Micky Thompson Headers from the factory...this is a lively car I know where there is one in Port Colborne Ontario...

My first car was a 1972 Cutlass with 350/350 TBH, 4 barrel, dual exhaust. It was fast and pretty, but this was the big brother to my car. Nice car Lou and owner. I only knew of one of these in Blue Bell, PA USA as a young man. The dude beat the crap out of it whenever he was behind the wheel. I am so sure he wishes he still had it, like I wish I still had mine.

I love this car. It looks sort of like the dashboard and door of our Sebring 1970 Vista Cruiser. I had to chuckle seeing Dr. Oldsmobile after so many years!. And Gary mistaking the mileage brushing it off oh I have so many cars. Shout out to Dean! Personally I love yellow sports cars: Cream, Meadowlark and Sebring. I honestly have to admit I don't remember seeing this car although I'll ask my brother. I noticed no electric windows. Loved the button that moves the bucket forward. Racing mirrors and stripes. Thanks. Loved it
Hi Gail, Happy to bring back memories of Dr. Oldsmobile. Glad to share this car in a color you love :-) Lou
once did see one similar but it had the window posts. i like cutlass cars. you always show real cars.
Happy to read you enjoy the Cutlass cars :-)
I graduated highschool in '79 so it was '77 thru about' '82. Dude I hung out with had one with a swapped 4 spd and rebuilt engine. A little head work, dual plane, better Holley and headers along with a bigger cam. This thing had an idle to die for and sounded great winding it out Olds 350 could hold its own to anything back then. But no joke,it wasn't a sleeper since it stuck out day or night with all that YELLOW, but it was a cool ride.

That is a lot of yellow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the color-keyed bumpers on anything but the GTO Judge back in the day. I saw in the brochure that the wheels had no trim rings, so I’m glad to see these wheels actually have some chrome added…nice touch. Thanks Lou for a bright yellow morning to our rainy weather!
Hi Rusty, Happy to bring the warm yellow glow to a morning :-) Lou
Plymouth Cuda had them in 70 later Challenger in 71.The Yellow reminds me of the Buick GSX a lot.
Very nice! Like the other commenters, I did not realize Olds has body coloured bumpers.
This Cutlass is a great example and a great Car Story. Thanks Lou!

🚂 Hi from the other "Gary" - Nice ride - Like 😎 1970 was a great year for all classic cars. 🚗
Hi trainroomgary, Happy to read you enjoy this "Nice ride" :-) I agree, 1970 was a great year for cars, Lou
When I was in college (mid-1990s) one day I spotted an older lady picking up her grandkids at the day school across from our small campus. She was driving a worn, faded, but solid 'yellow 70 Rallye 350!! All the striping and decals were still evident. She saw me gawking (guess she was used to that) so I walked over to say hi and ask if I could see the car. She told me that she and her husband had purchased the Olds new and were finally getting ready to sell it after what was then 24-25 years of ownership. I took her number and name--she was asking, I think, $6,500 at the time!! I wasn't in the market then as I owned a muscle car already, and was helping my brother build his as well. I asked around but none of my various gearhead friends and acquaintances could put together the funds, or they didn't have anywhere to store the car, or whatever the reasons. Hope it found a good home and is out there being enjoyed.
HI AMCmachine, Good story :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou

Awesome car - question does this have the same engine as the 1968 Ram Rod 350?
Hey Fred, the earlier Ram Rods were the Cutlass W-31 engine. These were bigger valve engines with W30 Camshaft. They were such hi- overlap cams they could not support vacuum assist brakes! Very similar but this car would have a milder camshaft.
Hi RCFred_68, Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome car" :-) I see GT-37 Guy answered your question, Lou
Yes I like both the W-30 and W-31 cars!
All those upgrades in the W45 package, but no sport gauge package! @ 7:38 you can see the U21 option wasn't mandatory and wasn't checked. Surprising until you find out that W45 was just an appearance and handling package, not a performance package. If you wanted a performance package you ordered a 4-4-2, a 4-4-2 W30 or a Cutlass S W31. If you wanted a bare bones performance car you could order an F-85 W31... all of the performance but none of the upscale interior trim of the Cutlass S W31.
It needs to be said, though, that even without any engine upgrades, this car had plenty of power in its day... probably more power than the bias ply glass-belted tires could safely handle.
Hi dlwatib, Thank you for viewing, sharing your knowledge, and sharing the details you noticed. Lou

Growing up in San Diego, alot of families had Oldsmobiles, including my family. We had a Ninety-Eight. My best friend's mother had a Delta Eighty-Eight convertible. Many families rode in the comfort of the Vista Cruiser. So, I am familiar with Oldsmobiles. Did I mention that my Uncle had a Cutlass? Well this 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350 is about as sharp looking as they come! What a classic car! Very easy on my eyes.

Hi Augostino, Happy to share this rare find with you :-) Lou
When I was in my late teens (late 80's), I remember seeing one of these driving around Lodi, NJ by an older lady. I always wondered what happened to that car. You're right Lou, if you see one on the street you never forget it. Love all the Olds muscle cars, with the '69 Hurst Olds being my #1. I did own a '70 442 non W30 for a time. I threw a rod and had no clue how to rebuild motors at the time so I sold it cheap around '89 or '90. Sometimes you make the dummest choices.

Another great video Lou. I didn't know that they made as many as the owner said. I thought it was only about a thousand to 1,200 of them built. I always wondered if the painted bumpers were popular. I wouldn't mind having one myself. The Yellow reminds me of the Saturn Yellow that came on the 70 Buick GSX. Were these cars available with 4 speeds or were they all automatics?
Hi PlymouthDuster225, I'm guessing they had 4 speeds too, however I'm hoping a Viewer can share knowledge. Hope you're behind the wheel of the right one for you soon, Lou
@@loucostabile Yes you could order a 4 speed. They do exist - most often I have seen these in bench seat cars.
Hi, Lou! Rallye around the Oldsmobile! Right from the beginning, the birds were all singing its praises! LOL! "Mandatory options" may be an oxymoron, but on a car like this, all those items are definitely a must! A lot of folks have said that 1970 marked the height of the muscle car era. That yellow ain't mellow!

One of the “classic” cars I owned in the 70’s, was a beautiful Olds Cutlas S, with a 350 4 barrel and gorgeous chrome spoked hubs! I loved that car! Then I got a Buick Skylark GS - which blew my mind! And THEN I discovered Mopar! Which led to two Dusters, and then came my all time fav - a 1970 300, with a 440. Now I’m old and drive a RAV4 - anyone got a time machine?
I love cars

So from all of those cars you owned the 1970 Chrysler 300 was your favorite? Because of the 440.?..the ride...both? I kind of like a slightly bigger car for my main cruiser with air...love Buick 455's myself (74 GS 455 Century).
@@gt-37guy6 I always loved that “long and low” look that began around 1960. The 69 and 70 300’s were the longest and lowest! The “bankers sports car” tag always appealed to me too. The 440’s were bullet proof and much easier for my limited mechanical skills to work on, as opposed to the big hemi’s.
I’m feeling like I suddenly need a “summer” car. I can tell you, though, my little RAV4 is quite amazing - it’s THE most desirable one - a 2006 with a six cylinder. They detuned this motor for 2007, but in 2006 it made 268 hp! It’s very light, so it goes like stink! Couple this with 2006’s having proper 4wd, instead of Awd. The 6 cylinder,2006 RAV4 is a true anomaly! I had a Chevy S10 SS in the mid 90’s - this RAV 3.5 V6, is just as fast as the S10 with its 4.3 litre V6!

Hi Dejael, Here is a video of that Pontiac you commented on, Lou ruclips.net/video/Uet7r9MMDEo/видео.html
I've never seen 1 on the street but did see 1 at a Chicago World of Wheels show back in the 90s that was a bit different. The 1 had Hurst badges and a 4 speed, no rear wing. Yellow on black, Cutlass S, but the window sticker said W30. Same hood, same stripes. Same HO 350. That car was stickered at over $5k with a/c, tilt, p/s, power disc, p/w, p/l, AM/FM 8 track, buckets, center console, posi 3.42, rallye gauges with Sun tach, and the wrapped bumpers, which at some point were stripped and painted yellow, according to the owner. The owner said he thinks the car was a special order demo. Build date was 4 of 1970.
Hi Adam, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car you saw @ World of Wheels :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I have owned two 1970 Oldsmobiles. I never did like the monochromatic yellow on these and it is still a 70 olds :-) What's not to like? My 1970 442 had a 350 in it. The 350 definitely has some guts! The 1970 Old's suffered from what I called "Cutlass face" The front bumpers were easily misaligned causing the center to dip down slightly and the ends to turn up slightly, looking like a smile, hence the nickname "Cutlass face". I have definitely banged my head on the hood lip in the center too...

My brother in law owns 3 of them. This might be one of them. I restored all three of them for him.

My first car was a 1972 Cutlass with 350/350 TBH, 4 barrel, dual exhaust. It was fast and pretty, but this was the big brother to my car. Nice car Lou and owner. I only knew of one of these in Blue Bell, PA USA as a young man. The dude beat the crap out of it whenever he was behind the wheel. I am so sure he wishes he still had it, like I wish I still had mine.
