Just saying hello from the Memphis area.
I'm a Pontiac guy at heart, but I want to learn more about Olds as well. My curiosity was triggered this June in Bowling Green at the Hot Rod Reunion. I was helping my neighbor run in Nostalgia Super Stock (he runs a 64 Chevelle 2dr wagon) when I saw a beautiful white Cutlass (65 I believe) running in the same class, and I fell in love!
Needless to say, I kind of just want to get my feet wet in the Oldsmobile part of the hobby and see what it's all about.

 

You sure came to the right place if you want to get your feet wet with the Oldsmobile family. Welcome to CO!

A bit of a relative term, but I'm 19.

 

Cool its nice to get younger people in the hobby.

 

I wish more people my age would get into the hobby, help us keep it going! I guess I was going to part of it by default since I grew up doing old Pontiacs with my dad. I recently got my 73 Firebird Formula 400 running and am currently getting it roadworthy. It's been a 5yr project so far!

 

Put-er-ther !!! Hope you get the chance to purchase one of the best car makes ever built. Keep the Oldsmobile community alive here for many years to come!!
Cheers
Eric

 

Well lets see it!

 

It's nothing too wild, just a 9.1:1 compression .030" over 400 with TRW forged flat tops, hand ported iron d-port heads, custom grind 276°/284°, 228°/236° @.050, .474"/.474" 112LSA, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Shaker Tuned Qjet, Hooker 1.75" headers, and a Performance Distributors DUI, all backed by a TH400 I built with a Hughes GM25 converter. Probably a low 13s/high 12s car, great for a first street/strip setup! Bodywork is on the to-do list for the summer.

 

Thanks for posting your Father son project, hope to see an Olds in your stable soon.
the Firebird will be a fun car to drive when its finished.
I enjoy reading Father and son projects, enjoy dads are awesome!!

 

One of my local friends has a very clean 69 Cutlass with an Edelbrock head 455. I wouldn't mind having something like that..wouldn't mind at all.

 

Very nice ride

 

Cool ride! Nice to see one of the younger crowd not into the 4 banger cars!
I still love ponchos, my list of those 85 6000 STE, 2006 Grand Prix, 07 G6 V6 sport pkg. 2009 Vibe loaded.

FYI you have an OCD
