Hey guys...New to this forum,but not to Oldsmobile. I have always enjoyed the 60's Olds muscle cars....they are great cars!Nestled in the hills of Wi. and waiting for spring! I have visited this forum many times and decided it was time to join and get involved in some good conversation. I guess typing is conversation according to my teenage son. Well,I'm following protocal and intoducing myself....I have had several high end 442's in the past and I'm gonna start a 67 supreme search-build and will post an ad in the wanted section later on today.....Thanks for the oppertunity and you guys have the best Olds site on the web Mark

Since you apparently don't have a car yet to show us photos of (and we are looking forward to those when you do get one), how about some photos of that round nose?

Welcome aboard Mark.
Hmm, with luck you'll scare up a barn find if you check the local CL or surrounding areas. You looking for HT or vert?

Welcome aboard Mark.
The one in my avatar
was a 67 Supreme 4 speed,
with the only options being
AM radio and a heater.
But it had # 3 heads and made 320hp
from the factory with only a belted waterpump
to spin. It was a blast! Alas, TOO much rust!
It went to New Mexico about 4 yrs ago. But
I bet it's still going. Made me miss my old 66
442 that much more. Good luck with the search.
The 66-67's are my all time favorites, Adam.

Thanks for the welcome guys!! I'm looking for a coupe or hardtop 4 speed 67 supreme. I know when the top goes down the price goes up,but truthfully I never really was a rag top fan. No offense....just would rather have a metal roof over my head! Again thanks....and no my nose isn't really round--that's a story for another day. I have not gottenmuch response yet in the wanted section....how much of a hassle is it going to be to convert a jet-away to a 4 speed car?? I can certainly find a nice #2 car with an automatic....they are everywhere. The 4 speed is what's making the search difficult,but I knew that before I started. Any advice would be great Thanks Mark aka round nose!!

Factory 4spd 67 Supremes do not turn up often. I would suggest a conversion which is not hard as long as ya have the parts. Biggest hurdle is drilling the crank for adaptor bearing/bushing.
