Hi, first off, let me say that I've never really been a gear-head (more of a book-worm) so please excuse any ignorance. My wife and I have started looking at classic cars recently and I have my eye on a '72 Oldsmobile 442.
We are looking at this car:

I would really like to add some performance to it (headers, exhaust, etc... as much horsepower as I can get with it still being a reliable car), but I don't know of any companies that sell aftermarket parts for it and which one's would be the best. I'd really like it to have that low thud-thud sound when it's idle (and shakes the neighbor's chair) but again, which parts to get it to do that?
Also, they have a Cutlass which has been dyno'd @ 450hp. Can anyone here tell me which car is more desirable or add any advice as to what kind of parts I could add to it (or for that matter, links to manufacturer's who sell such parts)?
I know it's long-winded, but we appreciate any responses/advice you could give.
