If they can burn a little rubber
once in a while, never boring!

a 70 442 is one of the best
imho. Post up some pics of
the beast when you can and welcome!

Welcome. Have any pic's? How can driving an old car ever get boring? It's like having the weight of the world lifted off your shoulders every time you start it up.

Thanks, glad I joined.
If I could afford an additional 442 it would be a 64-67.
My 70 is was a blast with the #s motor and tranny.
Put them safely in the corner and built a strong street motor/tranny
for some fun at the track a few years ago.

Welcome aboard! Nice to see another Canuck join the crowd. There are several members down around your way.

Unfortunately, yes. It can get to the point of not wanting to look at the car anymore - especially with the gas in your area of Canada. So what I'm willing to do is let you ship the car out to me so I can store it and drive it on your behalf. Then I'll send you glowing reports of how it did on a cruise night... Just kidding. These cars are always a blast to drive, and always seem to get a lot of thumbs up from lots of other drivers.

If you need help with posting pics, have a look at this link:

Can't ship it out to you Allan R. Too busy driving it.. Only place it doesn't go is to work.
Hasn't been on a tow truck in the 16 years I've owned it.
Cars were made for the road. Especially Oldsmobiles.

Red 70,
I think I can hear it from Mt Forest every time you start it.
