new guy

hi, just want to introduce myself, my name is Dan and i recently bought a '70 cutlass town sedan that has been tucked away in a north dakota quonset since 1985!!
we call her "granny green"... she's got the high compression 350 4bbl with 101,300 miles on the odometer. the interior is perfect but the only option on the 'ol girl is an am radio. the body has a couple spots where farm equipment has rubbed it while it was in storage... nothing serious... it blows my mind how clean the underbody is, the vast majority of the underbody is what i'd call raw steel, not a solid film of rust anywhere on it!!
it had everything in the glove box, every registration slip, protecto plate and owners manual, warranty cards for tires and battery... the knock outs on the battery that was in it showed it being installed in oct. 77!!
this thing is like a time capsule... i love it!
