I've been an Olds guy since I started driving 33 years ago. The last one I bought I've had since the mid 80's. Sadly, it's been stored in a garage since 1990. I finally dug it out and brought it to me home shop a couple of weeks ago and am in the process of stripping the entire int. then plan on getting it running to drive this summer before getting into bodywork end of it. No recent pics yet so all I have is this to get started. It's a 70 Cutlass Supreme, green, black top and int. with a few rare options.

Very cool. Four speed and 3.91 posi (and note that the build sheet says "positraction" and not "anti-spin") in a Supreme HT. That's pretty unusual. I especially like the order number. Good luck.

It's got a pretty good option list, M21, rally gauge cluster, rally wheel, 3:91 with posi, console, HD radiator , disc brakes and I have learned there was only about 520 or so QB engine code 350's built and I"m betting most were in fastback style body

I'm in North Haven. Thanks for the welcome, I"m looking forward to looking through threads and seeing how everyone's cars and projects are going. I've got a lot of work ahead of me but am enjoying getting back into the swing of things with this hobby. I should have kept a record of what I started with but it was pretty sad. Int had mold all in the headliner, dash, seats and just about anywhere it could get. So far I've stripped the int of everything but the harness. That's the reason I"m starting with the interior, hopefully by spring will have the seats re-done, dash re-done and at least a carpet, seats console and door panels back. Not a whole lot needed mechanically then I can drive it while starting on the body. I'll snap a pic or two when I have it out of the garage in a month or two.

I guess I should post some pics soon. I had an Olds expert stop by last night and he was snapping pics like a kid in a candy shop. He's been in muscle car review and an expert on authentication of W-30's, W-31's and anything Olds. I feel good hearing some of the things he was saying about all the original parts, VIN stampings and the condition of most everything. It's down to a shell, no glass and waiting for the rotisserie to come in to remove the body from the frame. Hope I'm not getting in over my head, LOL
