New Noob!

Heya!
My name is Shawn--live in Maine and just picked up a 68 Cutlass 4 door for 250 bucks..got the 350 running yesterday after 2 hours--the transmission linkage need adjusting--so far what i know is that its a 350 rocket--350 turbo 3 speed tranny and a 12 bolt posi rearend--picking up a new ignition switch tomorrow and working on the brakes. trying to trade some rims for rims that will fit it. No biggie..have alot of body work to do in the trunk..its pretty much rotted out. its nice to be on here and Im looking forward to looking up info..asking questions and meeting new folks that have alot more knowledge than me..
Cheers!

Shawn

Welcome I have always liked the front of 68s. It is good to see someone fix-up a moredoor cutlass. That you sounds like you got it before someone else bought it and stripped it for parts.
Good Luck and have fun.
Larry
