What's up everyone! I figured I do the right thing and make my 1st post in the newbie section.

I've had an Olds in my possession every year since 1991. I currently have 2: '72 Cutlass Supreme which I've owned for 20 years (orig Rocket 350, +.030", big cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, 350 turbo w/kit, 10-bolt Auburn posi, buckets/console, green with green top and dark saddle interior). She's a bit of a mess though and she's on her way out because......

My new toy as of 6/23/12... 1970 442, black with gold W30 stripes, OAI hood, spoiler, has Olds 350/400 turbo in it now but came with 455 block and "E" heads. I'm super stoked about the 442, my dream car! Got it out of a barn in Michigan, trailered it 12 hours back to NJ. It's got a clean title and, most importantly for me at least, it's legit! It started life green with green interior and my long-term plan is to restore it back to that. I also plan on returning the correct powerplant when the $$ allows. Short-term plan is to yank motor and trans (both done in '07) from my '72 and drop them in to the 442. Sacrelige on some level I know but I got a lot of $$ in that '72 motor and trans.

I was turned onto this site by someone from a Ford site (MercuryMarauder.net), of all places. I got 1 of those too ('03 black, 4.6 DOHC, awesome car!) but she's also on her way out. All attention on the 442!

Not sure why I didn't hear of this site before but I've been snooping around for a few days and I'm very excited to be here. Stay tuned....

Pics when I can get that to happen.

 

Welcome to CO

Where in NJ are you?

 

Just got it up there...I live in Old Bridge, about 15mins from Raceway Park.

 

Welcome to CO fellow NJ Olds man...

 

Welcome! You will like it here. Good luck with the project.

 

Welcome. Green, did you say?

 

Welcome! You will like it here. Good luck with the project.

 

Welcome, by now you know the drill, post some pic's!

 

Welcome fellow N J Olds owner! Hope to see you cruising soon with your new 442. If you see a blue 68 442 convertible with black stripes, that's me! Vin

 

Nice, that's where I drag race!

 

Thanks for the welcome guys. I've seen quite a few Oldsmobiles around NJ.
I tried the pics...no dice. I started a Photobucket page, here's the link:

Yeah, I couldn't believe when I read the data plate...Sherwood green with green interior. I always liked green but that's a little much. My '72 is Sherwood green (although quite faded) with a green top.....or what's left of it

 

welcome from the Ford guy

Your link doesn't work, takes you back to this page - lets see some pics!!!

 

Thanks for the heads-up on the link Steven. Let me try that again...

oldsman72............Just saw your post welcome! also from Jersey here with my 70 442 convertible.....

BTW.....nice Ride!

 

Sweet!
Saw the beater 72 in the last photo.
you guys in N J sure have to put up
with a lot of rot on the cars up there, dang.

 

normally your right...............not any more for me.............

 

I finally got my Olds' together and I updated the Photobucket page with a few more pics. That '72 beater was my baby (believe it or not!) for over 20 years. Never stranded me in all those years. But she's tired now and she's falling apart! Born, raised and kept in the northeast...winter's are cruel! She will be giving up her motor and trans (both done and worked in '07) to my 442.

 

Welcome aboard looks like a nice car good luck with it.

 

I grew up in East Brunswick, lived at Englishtown all season through the 70's.
