Hello from Missouri

New member here from Columbia, MO. Preparing for a restoration on a recently aquired 65 Olds Delta 88. 2dr hardtop, 425 2bbl, and what appears to be (and I am hoping) a factory 4 speed transmission.

Hope you guys are prepared for a slew of questions!! Quintuple bypass in the recent past, then a heart attack in Nov. have moved this project to the top 5 on my "Bucket List"! Still in good enough shape physically that I have to go back to work, but nights and weekends are Olds time!!

Talking Welcome to CO

Glad to have you aboard Ralph. Post some pictures when you get a chance. Someone will chime in to help you figure out if you have an original 4 speed car. Good luck with your restoration
