Newbie from CA

Hey folks-
Excited to be part of this forum. Im here to learn, see some cool rides and hopefully link up with Olds guys near me and beyond. My dad had a 1969 cutlass hardtop when I was a kid. I remember how happy he used to be when he’d step on the gas with a heavy foot evrry now and then. And he was a grumpy fukk. So as a kid, to see my dad smile was a big thing. I knew one day I want to have one. But of course I had to get the 69 442 convertible to one-up my pops. It’s a 3 speed auto with a TH-400, 455 bbo from a 71. Factory AC, PS, front disc brakes. The motor build seems to be..ehh, not too impressive. It’s newly rebuilt but has a Fitech EFI and J heads. I already got the Holley Sniper EFI for the new build.
Below is the pic from the ad. My pics to come soon.

It's a distraction I can put up with. I'm near Chico if you are ever in the area, I'm always good for a beer, coffee or soft drink with Oldsmobile conversion.... Tedd

I'm in Manteca, Ca. not sure where you live. I have just what you need is a set Ga heads ready to go on that 455 to pick it up a bunch. The J hears are JUNK even rebuilt so here I am if you need them. I don't quote price on this site but send a PM message if interested in them. Or we can talk.
Gerald
PS

Hey thanks Gene! It’s actually a repaint of the factory color, Crimson. I’m in Daly City. Nice to know there are plenty of locals on here.

It was taken by the lighthouse, near Half Moon Bay, We should definitely go for a drive.
My favorite route is Hwy1 to Santa Cruz, then through the forest pass Boulder Creek to Skyline blvd back to 92. A lot of cars out in the mountains on weekends.
