Nice car - welcome!

 

Welcome to C.O.

Beautiful car. Even has the DF3 and D33 chrome mirrors.

Far as things to do? I'd check the following:
- Brakes (pads/shoes/brake hoses/fluid level)
- Exhaust
- Power steering pump/ gearbox for leaks.
- All belts/hoses in good condition. Consider replacing all vacuum lines due to age/heat/cracking.
- Suspension + grease all fittings (11) This is not like new cars that are 'lubed for life'
- Cooling system (possible flush and/or replace rad hoses)
- Lights (all)
- Electrical options
- Obvious leaks from engine / tranny
- Change gear oil in differential
- Oil/filter change
- Air filter change
- Check spark plug gaps and plug conditions
- Ensure timing is set properly

Then I think I'd just drive it for awhile to see what the car does before I start anything with it.

 

Welcome to our site! Nice Olds!!

 

Welcome to the site!

I think Allan summed it up pretty good on what you should check out.

 

ty guys checked it all out today seems all good drives mint!

 

Welcome to the site, nice looking car! I had a set of those chrome mirrors once, but forgot the story on them. Allan can you enlighten us? Was it just an option, and if so which years had it?

Looks like swivel buckets. What other options does your car have? John

 

ya it has the swivel seats power locks and windows lol...clock all the good stuff car came from florida has 57k miles, has some upgrades i guess flowmaster 40's chrome valve covers, chrome air cleaner, chrome oil pan, edelbrock intake manifold, the carb the guy has on it i believe it to be way to big its a 1050 cfm double pumper holley, it runs good no hesitation the car is a 350

 

My good friend had a car the same color and everything. We built a smokin 350 for it and it was well, still pretty slow. Enjoy you car though. It is a real beauty. I think we went with too much cam and not enough gear back in the day. We were just kids, didn't know squat. And no site like this I can assure you. Welcome. These guys are like Einsteins. Ask a question, get the right answer, every time.

 

haha ya i bet its most deff takes alot of power to move a 3,637 pound car... i feel like a tank when driving it but its pretty quick i was surprised she likes to eat little v-tec hondas lol all my cousin's love imports im the odd one out i got a Cutlass lolz!!!
