Smile Hello Everyone!

Hey guys, Shedizzy here.
I love classic cars! Just purchased my very first restore, a 1976 Omega, one owner, all original. Some would say not your normal olds favorite, but I like her! I have yet to find a repair manual on her, anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the site, please post some pics. There are quite a few Omega owners on the site. For the manual, you can post a want ad in the classifieds and also look on Ebay.

The Omega can look and sound and perform great with a set of rims & tires, dual exhaust, and a good rear gear.
What are your plans for her?

76omega

I'm on the fence... original vs. not so original... original will cost less and resale may be better. I haven't made up my mind' I've only had her a but a week.

Welcome to the forum... I've had a couple Omegas in the past... Sold one of them to my father in law who drove it for quite a few years before he decided he wanted a Custom Cruiser I had for sale...
