Hello Everyone!

Now that I'm able to post, I want to say hello. I've already gotten a lot of useful information from this site to help me get stated on restoring my 1969 Cutlass S. It was rescued from a much younger person that really didn't respect the classics. I'll post a picture when I get a good one.
I've always owned a Cutlass but this is my first 60's model and I've found that most parts are hard to find.
I live in North Texas and bought this Cutlass that has never had air conditioning. I don't know what I was thinking (or just wasn't thinking) but I couldn't resist getting it after the first drive.
I'm looking forward to gaining and sharing information and hopefully making some new friends along the way.

Everyone have a good day and weekend!

Yeah, I know I can add the air but I am weighing the value versus performance. I'll get a good pic this weekend. Thanks for the reply.

Welcome to CO, Oldsfever! Yes, quite a few of us in Texas, and North Texas. Go to Announcements (click) and then to 2010 NTOC Zone Show to be held October 22-24 at the Marriott across Hwy 114 from Texas Motor Speedway. Show'N'Go, w/racing Saturday evening up in Denton.

Thanks, I'm feeling at home already. I've always had a eye for the 69. There is just something about it that made it stand out to me. I'll be at the show if I'm in town. That's only a few miles from where I bought the car. Sounds like fun.

lol we just had the discussion at lunch not too long ago about how we think that 69 was the best year of cars being made. but anywho... not from north texas but san antonio and neither of my cars have working A/C so dont feel too bad. but i have also heard that one of the best a/c installers is in texas (maybe houston?) and welcome also btw

My Cutlass Pics

I took some pictures after cleaning it up. It has a great 10 ft. paint job but the rest of it ain't bad.

That is one SWEET ride! Nice and shiny in this blistering Texas heat. It was 105 in the shade today.
