New guy

Hello to everyone watching, I'm the new guy, an old olds fan. I,ve been into cars for 55years (began at 10) have had lots of GM products, I've reciently decided that I've got to have one more good car. I'm looking for 1964-65 Cutlass preferably a 442. I now live in the Caribbean so I don't want to bring a concours car down here to rot. I'm looking for a non numbers car, a clone will do. It's got to be 'finished' before it arrives because even thought I've the talent to restore it the logistics regarding parts delivery's is an insurmountable problem. I am currently looking at a 65 442 convertible, not a numbers car, needs lots of tlc. What ever I get I'll look to you guys for help with the restoration, information , parts etc. I am new to the club format, I hope I can figure it out and post in the right places, not much of a computer guy either. Well I'll hear from you guys as the days progress, good luck with you projects, may you find what your looking for cheap.

Thanks for the Welcomes fellows, It seems to me that most of the 'users' on site are Oldsmobile owners, of one car or another, actual purchasers. Is there any where on the site that correlates actual prices paid for the different cars. you know a valuation tool. I'm of course looking to buy so what a car is currently selling for is important. I've looked at the Hagerty Ins. (also Hemmings) site which I guess is fairly accurate? I also watch ebay and any other auctions, that I can find, that reports sale price. Any input?
