Hello

I have been a Olds fan for years. At 41 I have owned alot of Olds between 55 and 95. My love is the 442's. I have owned several. Currently looking for a 70 to 72 Cutlass or 442 that I can drop my 425 Super Rocket in.

Welcome.
I'll find a 70-72 Cutlass if you'll drop your 425 Super Rocket in it.
Very generous of you Caminokid.

LOL! I just gutted a 66 98 town sedan that was just rusted beyond repair. Too bad it got that bad. the frame was totaled. I went to jack it up and the jack went thru the frame.

Please post your location and we'll keep our eyes open for you. I know there's a 1969 442 project located in Northern California that's listed in the local Craigslist. John

Egads! That must have been a shocker. I have seen frames that bad in junk yards before. Too bad for our loss (the town sedan, that is). Welcome to our site.

Welcome to the site. I guess its true what they say about NE cars. I have never seen that in the Pacific NW. We don't use salt on the roads here. Knock on wood

The frame was toast. I have taken about everything that is worth something off that car. It still had the original AM radio in it...tilt column...which oddly enough fit in my 69 Chevy truck. I kept the horns for my truck. Going to sell off alot of the parts I saved.
