DennisD

Hi Guys,

The name is Dennis, i live in Belgium and over a year ago i bought my first 1970 Oldsmobile C utlass Supreme.
We thought it was a pretty decent car with a 455 big block and 4 speed manual.
But the car needed some attention on the engine and body work, not much just a gasket and some sheet metal for in the trunk ( thats what we thought).
Long story short , the body needed much work in the back , windows rusted through, cowl panel rusted, cracked engine block, wrong wheels!!
So we just went on rebuilding the car, there was no point in selling the car because it was totally stripped. I signed up for this forum because i need some help on alot of things and the American market in Belgium is not that great xD .
So anyway this is my story en this is my car

Grtz Dennis

Welcome from across the pond. Were here to help. Looks like you're well on your way! Is this an original 4 speed car? Does it have the rear sway bar and boxed lower control arms? What is the first 7 digits on the vin?

the guy i got it from said it was an engine en tranny from 1976, so guess the original was a 350 with an automatic tranny (steering column has the gap for the lever), it doesnt have a rear sway bar (does this improve the driving quality ?) the first 7 numbers : 34257OM

Grtz.

Welcome to the site, nice project.

Welcome Dennis, looks like you started off with a big project, but you'll have a nice car when you're done. It's a great color, you keeping it green? The rear sway bar does help with handling, it minimizes body roll and reduces understeer, although so does a 455.
