Well here is a start to a glorious adventure with my middle daughter wanting a 66-72 cutlass well we found her a 72
been sitting a long time has a 350 2 barrel carb and headers lol

long story short original owner small town Lyman Wyoming
left it in his field and sold their property new owner sent it to a junk yard, sat for awhile got a few parts picked off not many

 

Nice to see a younger person with interest in these cars! Good luck with the project.

 

Looks like a lot of father daughter bonding time is about to take place... Glad to hear she has an interest in the hobby...

 

Thanks guys she has helped the most with my 65 this will be a good one for her very little rust for a Utah project lol it does need two small patches but nothing we can’t handle

main goal will be collecting missing parts and resealing a 455 I have



I wonder what treasures maybe in the trunk

 

Sounds like some quality time with the kid! Let me know what you're after for parts, maybe some of the leftovers from my '70 will help you out.

 

Nice! Wonder if the 350 will run?

 

Guy claimed he ran it off some fuel down carb for a few seconds a few years back

 

Will do thanks !

 

Found some goodies all owner manuals
sales agreement and pre purchase sheet of options
and original identification card from dmv

 

great documentation. kids got a nice start

 

I don’t think she knew what to say lol

 

Look at the grin. Priceless! I'm sure you two know the rules to take pics of the progress.

 

Looks like you guys will be out in the garage/shop for a while with this one. Look forward to following along.

 

OHHH YEAHHH! Maybe one of my daughters will take an interest in Oldsmobiles someday.

 

That’s awesome. Need to start a thread about my 16 yr old daughter’s 71. We are in a similar place with our project as you guys.

 

Very nice looking forward to watching yours as well

 

Thanks to Joe P we now have keys and can reassemble the steering column and door, hoping to run this engine off a gas can this weekend.

 

10.64% APR....ouch.

 

Saw that too thought it was high for the times but maybe not lol,

 

Wow!

 

Been awhile lots has changed we moved and have a bit more room to move around, a few weeks ago we bought a new battery, wires plugs cap and rotor and coil. I stopped there and told my daughter she needed to pull up grades and as a soon as I see her report card we would fire it up, well she pulled her grades up so we will be doing this in the morning
i will start a new thread for her build,

 

Well my son is turning 14 awhile back I had purchased a rough nova for him he has been collecting parts, but was obviously discouraged due to the amount of collecting he needs to do prior to working,
Well a olds I had been watching over the years. Became available, sat down with the wife and discussed the money I saved to help my son project along and the amount the new purchase would cost.
then we sat our son down and laid all the options on the table, I reminded him that he asked about this particular car when we first started to look for a project. Well he agreed he wanted a complete car that he could fix the next few years instead of finding every major part.

long story short we brought home a 67 cutlass
runs and drives,

I will also be starting a build thread for him
we will be hosting a father safety inspection on both projects and replace all fuel, brake lines and coolant hoses, change all fluids and full tune ups on both cars



Here is the nova he is giving up lol it is bitter sweet for me haha

 

Look forward to the build threads.
