Thanks Chris it's a 1996 with 113,000 on the truck over size injectors, 3" lift and 34's no muffler and a matching cap with a checkered flag on it.
I have owned 2 other cutlass's so this is #3 I found it and decided to suprise my wife with it as a Birthday present as when we first met back in (the 80's) we both had cutlass's mine was a 71 conver her's was a 1970 convert i wrecked mine and then we had to sell hers when we had our son money was tight and the boy need diapers. so this is me helping here relive our youth.

Welcome to the site. Neat history with you and your wife. Nice project and cars you have. You should start a build thread under major builds and projects.

Thanks everybody for the posts i do not have any other pics yet other than the ones on the trailer, I will post some soon of the progress, I have the entire build documented so i can show it is all original, I am spending a ton of time refurishing hardware and all the parts to make sure it goes back to gether exactly like it came apart and will be a New 1970 here in a few months.
Look for a major build Thread coming soon as soon I can sort through the 300 or so pics i have so far.
