I'm also in the Kansas City area (Olathe). We should try to round up a group of Olds owners to parade around the city (when it gets warmer of course lol).

Glad you joined.

Yea! Welcome to CO. I'm a couple of hours east of you.

You wrote "unatural acts" makes me wonder what you did. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Welcome. Very nice car and won't give you any grief over the sbc. There are too many people that get carried away with that. It has been a long time but back in the 80's I made a lot of trips to KC. I have eaten at the Golden Ox and Arthur Bryants BBO. I aways liked KC except in the winter. My 72 Cutlass was sold new by Griffin Oldsmobile in KC on 12/29/71. The girl traded in a 67 Cougar. I have the original invoice.

I like the idea. Definitely when the weather gets better (and I get around to fixing my brakes). I have a buddy with a 442 in town (work in progress) and I'll let him know too.
