1965 Oldsmobile 442 project

heres my 65 rocket that I am building. My grandmother bought it straight off the show room floor back in 65 and its been in my backyard for the past 30 years. It went to its first car show last saturday and me being the 18 year old that rebuilt it, it was mine too. I was shocked that there wasn't even another Oldsmobile at the show! It sure made me feel good when the crowd around my primered 442 was bigger than the one by the shined up 69 cameros! haha

I am now concentrating on saving up for the paint job. it will go back the original mint green color.

If anyone feels like being extra friendly and help make this dream come alive please donate! Paypal account: ohyalikey@yahoo.com
Thanks for reading!

Well I'm glad to see you got it all squared away. Also good to hear you drew a crowd at the car show! Btw we are having a good sized show here in Granbury on June 29th. It's not to far from you. I included a link, it brings a lot of cars! Look forward to meeting you.

Glad everyone was crowded around yours! I'll take a flake of rust from the lower 1/4 of a '65 442 over ANY Camaro ever made. COPO or not!
