Hello from a newbie.

Good evening, My name is Taylor I am 21... 22 in November and have been dealing with classic cars for a few years. I was gifted my 70 Cutlass S my 8/9th grade year after the unexpected death of my grandfather (we were planning on building it) Today I have done all the work on the car. I rebuilt the motor two years ago with an RV cam. Solid car with no rust. Its been garaged since new from the still operating Oldsmobile dealership here in Washington. It has a 71-72 front end on from a wreck way before I was born. I drive this every day and will have it painted soon! Also into racing my GSX Buick on the weekends.

Boy does that bring back memories- Mama drove a 70 S post that color green for many years. I still have scars on the back of my head from the hood tooth.

Welcome to Classic Olds. The car looks fabulous.The paint must be worse than the pictures show, because it looks like it might could be "Buffed out" ,with the proper combination of polishes . We do like youth who want to take interest and good care of their prized possessions. Ask for help if needed, there's plenty of helpful folk's onboard. Larry
