NEW FROM MINNESOTA

Hi all I grew up in the gas stations dad owned 3 mom managed them,mom had 2 68 olds 442's 2-69 442's

dad built them mom raced 2 of them at Marion South Dakota
(THUNDER VALLLEY)

Any ways i have had a couple 4, I have my moms 68 442 (post) I will be restoring has either 89 or 90k on the car,she had owned it since 1970 or 71 2nd owner.

I haven't really found a value on this car since most are hard tops or converts,its a silver blue with a automatic on column,whits/black interior dealer installed a/c front drum brakes.
so I'm undecided if i should build this 1 up for fun,or original?,or buy a cutlass and make a fun clone hurst olds look great go fast car or clone hers?
I think I'm in the right place that will help me make up my mind.

I own a truck and auto repair shop,with towing,so i have a spot to work on the cars,just seems like mines always last

I will be needing parts rear bumper for the 68,maybe fenders.

enuff blabbing hello from Minnesota,and hope to get to know some of you.
