EAGLE 101 Dwight Lovejoy

Hello and thank you ...good information all around ..
I am a retired electrician and I have had the 442 bug since my first ..
I found a beautiful 1966 dark green with blk/white interior when I
came back from Viet Nam in 1969...4speed ,buckets spotless..
Crager SS mags...peace sign in the window...
Since then I have had a love affair with muscle cars and have had several..
The Olds was the one that got away..I am still a serious collector of sorts
and my last restoration was a numbers 68 SS396 ..
Hope to spend some quality time here DWIGHT


101st Airborne Viet Nam 68/69....

Welcome to the site, owning an Olds is not a requirement.

Welcome aboard. Does this mean you're on the hunt for another 66?

Welcome. I had a similar start to my love of Oldsmobiles. Came home from Viet Nam in 1968, bought a 66 L69 from a friend of a friend, and it turned out to be the fastest car in my home town. (I think he was scared of it..........lol)
