You know we're not going to let you get away that easily. Let's see some pictures!

Oh, and welcome from a transplanted Vancouver Islander!

Welcome to the group... It's always nice to have a piece of family history... Especially if it's Olds related...

Welcome to the site.


Please post some pics of the 70 W-30 two tone car.


I too have a 455 powered square body; mine is an 80 GMC. Mine was a 5.7 diesel originally. Was yours'?


Fill out your profile & add your location. When I am not in AB near Calgary I am at my place in Tsawwassen BC


Lots of members here from the Lower Mainland & a couple more on the Island.


I replied to your PM.

Dave

Now that you say Prince George I can place you. You sold a couple of Radiant Green 72s over the past few years. As per my message I think Devon has the automatic trans one. I knew the car when it was in AB years ago.


Glad to see someone grabbed that hood out of Red Deer. It was well priced but I had no need for it.
