Well I have to say, I really enjoy taking this car to the local car shows and just cruising around.

I have started some serious part collecting to get this baby back to a date matching restoration.

I recently acquired the hard hard to come by 4 speed console.
also have a 64/65 Muncie transmission
And the very hard to find non ac bbo 65 only alt bracket
I have sourced a B block crank and A heads Still working on a game plan to get it and rebuild it

My best guess is this upcoming spring I will probably be ripping the drive train out and starting the swap back to oem

My original 66 Cutlass showing Lucerne Mist with light blue interior. I loved that color combo. I for one hope you restore yours to the original D-D color combo. Have fun.

It's like Diego's old car colors. It looks very nice, very different.
