Nice looking Cutlass. I am sounding stupid here never being from New York City but, I thought space being very valuable there that garages were not too common. Looks like you have one for your car, which it rightly deserves.

Talking Welcome to CO

Nice Convert. Lots of 69's on the site although there not quite as nice as a 57 they'll do in a pinch won't they Jamsbo. Tell us a little more about your car. What Modification have you done and/or what are your future plans

Thanks all,

its a 69 cutlass s convertible with 60,000 miles still has the factory paint ,working AC. and radio.it is in the family since new i just became the second owner.

The car was in a underground parking garage and had not been registered since 91. i got the phone call from grandpa in december the car had to be moved asap or the building was having it towed.long story short the car now resides in my garage and is registered and ready to roll.

The OAI hood is functionable it feeds fresh air into a 4 1/2 inch velocity stack.
The 350 block and # 5 heads are stock. as well as the 12 bolt rear.

the interior is untouched except for the gm sport tach i installed in the dash were the clock was.and the water,oil,temp gauges mounted to the bottom of the dash.
the car has a bench seat and colum shifter.new gas tank and stainless fuel lines.

upgrades include mondello pushrods and adjustable rockers, edelbrock performer RPM cam ,manifold and carb.edelbrock quietflo fuel pump and regulator.hei ignition with msd 6a. hooker 1 5/8 competition headers , magnaflo 2 1/2 stainless exhaust with x pipe.TCI super street fighter tranny with 10 inch convertor 3000 stall.converted to disk breaks up front.

thats about all i could think of off the top of my head.
again i want to thank everyone for the welcome and comps.

Nice car and welcome to the site. Is your car an original NYC car? Fred here on the boards (haven't seen him on here in awhile) actually still has his '68 442 he purchased in Manhattan. After living here for awhile (heck, after spending 10 min here), I find it amazing that a 40 year old car made it that long.

I'm not sure if my car will ever make it back this way (it's in AZ at the moment). If I do end up bringing it back, I'll let you know and we can go terrorizing the streets of BK and Manhattan.
