Hi From Ohio

Hello Everyone, I've been reading the forum for a while now. Been thinking about buying my boss's 77 Cutlass and finally have decided to. He's had the car for about 15 years. We went to a seminar up in cleveland and rode up in the car this summer and I told him I wanted to buy it from him. He thought I was joking. later told me that if he thought I was serious he would've let me drive it that day. Anyway It's a 1977 with a 69 455. He's allowing me to make payments which is sweet and I should have it paid off in time for spring. I look forward to learning more about these cars and how to do maintence and some light repairs from all of you. I'm pretty good at working on cars but I've only worked on cars/trucks with fuel injection.
Thanks guys. I've added the only pictures of the car that I have so far.

Jim.

yes. Really excited. Ever since I learned how to drive in my mothers 77 delta 88 with unmatched body panels I've wanted a old Olds.

Nice, a stock looking car with track performance. Enjoy! You may find that gas costs will be high if you're using that as a DD, but I love the look of the 76/77 Supremes

Thanks Everyone for your comments. It will not be my daily driver. I'm gonna drive it only when the weather is good. It's a gas hog that's for sure lol.
