Hey guys, Newbie here. I have had my 1969 Olds Cutlass S since 1999. It is a 2 door hardtop with a Olds 350 and 2 barrel and a turbo 350, it has bucket seats, floor shift, console, and factory a/c (doesn't work, pieces missing) It has been kind of a "Driving restoration" which to me means, fix stuff along the way and keep it on the road. Here a short list of stuff I've done to it over 10 years, Bored out the 350 .30 over, rebuilt transmission, new shocks and springs in the rear end, new tires on the original SSII wheels and that's about it. I need to take some digital pictures of it and upload them.

 

Welcome aboard

My buddy Citcapp [out on the left coast where it rains everyday] will be jealous. 69's are taking over,

Post some pics pronto.

 

Good to have you with us.Contrary to some member's beliefs, I am of the opinion that you can never have TOO many 69's!! Send along pics as we're a very "visual" group...Derek 69 442 post

 

Yes there are a lot of 69's here as my buddy Jamsbo notes (I call it bragging) But us big old car guys outweigh all those little wimpy newer cars, we just push them out of our way. Shhhhhhh. I also like 69's but don't tell Jamsbo.

 

Did you see that Jamesbo?? He likes us,he really likes us!! Let all 69er's rejoice...Citcapp has "seen the light"

 

Yeah, How bout that

Citcapp "Put yo hands on de radio" and say "I believes"

 

Welcome. We look forward to seeing pics.

 

Welcome, I have a '69 too.

Here's a pic of one just like mine. No stinkin' running green Deere around here, this orange baby "Runs like a Bear".

Let's not get carried away 69's are ok, but not that great

 

Here's some pictures of my car this past weekend at the Nostalgia Drags. The last picture has both my car and my good friends car his is the shiny one with hood stripes.

 

Nice! If I haven't said so yet, welcome to CO.

 

Lookin good, nice pair. the gold really pops

 

We all love to see another Olds on the site and being a 69 just makes it that much better I used to have a 66 Impala SS 2 door hardtop 327/325 horsepower with the 2 speed powerglide. great car and wish I still had it too. How about posting a pic of that car of yours , the guys will forgive you just this one time for old times sake

 

69's are great cars and paved the way for the upgraded 1970

 

Love it, nice shot

 

Your car looks pretty original , except maybe the rear deck speakers. Do you know if it was repainted cause it looks like the correct paint.

 

Thanks guys for the compliments on my car. As you question it has been repainted at least twice from what I can tell. There is a small area on the passenger front fender that has been rubbed down to bare metal, at least that's what a body man told me when I had it looked at for a repaint. The interior on the other hand is original except for aftermarket gauges under the dash, tach, volts, water temp, oil pressure, and the aforementioned rear deck speakers plus a radio with cd player. The longer I have this car the more I think I stole it I bought it in the condition you see except for the radio, new suspension in the rear, new tires on the original rims, new battery, alternator, and rebuilding the engine and transmission, I paid $2,900 for this car 10 years ago. Like I said I think I stole it, but oh well there loss is my gain. You asked for pictures I'm guessing you mean the Impala? It isn't technically mine yet, but all money that has gone into putting it back on the road has been mine. My dad just doesn't want to work on cars anymore. The Impala has sat most of it's life heck the inspection sticker ran out in April 1978. So it needs some things from sitting, but cosmetically and mostly mechanically it is mint. And from what I've been told somewhat rare being Royal Plum.

 

I think you got a great deal on the car but like you said it's their loss are you thinking of the aftermarket hood to go with the rear spoiler since it's not original anyway. As far as the Impala goes I really liked the powerglide since it was pretty much indestructable , and believe me I did try My 66 impala SS was a dark sea green with the black vinyl top. 2 door with bucket seats and consel with original T shifter. man I gotta stop thinking about selling it

 

What are you talking about here? I think you have my car confused with someone else's. My car or my good friends car neither one has an aftermarket hood or spoiler. I'll see about pictures of the Impala.

OOps that was a white 69 on another thread.

 

Hey guys,
Yes I realize I am reviving an old thread, but it already has pictures in it.
Does any one know by looking at the pictures of my car what color it is? I am thinking palimino gold. I know I can decode the plate on the firewall I was just curious if anyone could tell by looking. Thanks.
