Green Turd Truck

Hey, my name is Ben and congrats to the GPHS marching band for performing in the 2010 Macy's Day Parade!
Last summer I bought my first Olds, a bare bones 1972 Cutlass Coupe with the 350/ TH350. It's my first restoration project and I am learning so much as I go. I want to either convert it to manual over time or buy a manual equipped car, but I love my ugly car. I look forward to being a part of the Olds fanatics here!

Welcome to the site Ben! When you have time post some pictures of your car. We've all seen ugly cars before, and can see the potential waiting to be tapped You'll need to move the digital photos to a hosting site, like photobucket or flikr, then copy and paste them here. John

Welcome to CO. There is no such thing as an ugly Olds, Her good looks are just hidden waiting for you to bring her back to her formal beauty.

Well thank you, but you should have seen it the day i bought it. More flakes in that paint job than a bowl of Kellogs'.

Yours is beeauutifuuuul! That's one pristine motor bay and interior for sure!

Glad to see some Oregonians on here!

We don't really need this much detail, but, since you brought it up, what did you have to eat?

Welcome to CO, Ben! They ain't no ugli Oldsmobile's! By the way, Jaunty, that was pretty funny, on the details! Not often I laugh out loud at the computer.

Thanks for the welcome all! Some real pretty cars on here, looking forward to the wealth of knowledge that a bunch of fellow obsessive fanatics can give!

Will post pics of my car as I go and inevitably screw up

I think you will find a lot of green cars on this site. I think that in the 70's everything was a different shade of green. I call mine Grandpa Green. When I was a kid I remember my Grandpas 71' LTD it was dark green with a black vinyl top, and the two pillows and kleenex box in the back window....
