New guy in Kentucky


Hello Olds people. Another new guy here. Owned an orange 72 Cutlass S when I was 18 and always wanted a 1970 442 Convertible. 43 years later my dream has come true. It needs a lot of work. Former owner raced it thus the lowered look. Engine was removed and a 260 was put in it to sell the car. I'm currently looking for a 1970 455 that needs a rebuild. Getting ready to put correct springs back in place and restore the stock look to it. Picked up a set of Super Stock 1's to restore also. Geez retirement is going to be fun!

Welcome to the site! Looks like you've got a nice car to play with. Still a lot of 455's out there, search Craigslist. I don't know how many member here are close to you, but you can also post in the parts wanted forum. I've got extra engines on the West Coast but I'm sure you can find something closer to home. Hopefully within driving distance. John
