I have a '66 Olds Cutlass convertible (going to be selling it) that's been sitting in a barn (literally) since the late 70's. I'm a Camaro fan myself, and I know it's kind of neat to see some untouched cars, ...barn finds as they say, This is a real one, ..dust, mice living in it and all : ) Here's a link to all the pics... http://imageevent.com/hvclassics/aut...scamaro/66olds
Even though I'm new here, I'm on a lot of Camaro boards (KevinK, or KevinK7) and I judge at the Nationals. Even though I know a bit about Camaros, ...I don't know a whole lot about the Olds ; )

 

Cool. Appears that maybe a tree limb or something like that fell on the RR Quarter. Almost looks like you could clean it up and drive it as is.

 

Welcome to the site. Are you going to sell as is or are you going to clean it up and get it running?

 

A very nice car in it's day. April week 3build in Lansing. 330CI/310HP, P/S, P/B, auto with console. Lucerne Mist with white top and white interior. Would look great restored.Thanks for the pics.

Welcome... Sounds like an interesting find... Where in the Valley are you located???

 

The 'dent' in the quarter is from a barn beam that fell (I even have some old polaroid photos of it). The amazing part is it didn't touch the trunk. Trunk opens and closes just fine. As for doing anything to it, I have two truck projects ('68 C10's) I'm involved with,so I think I'm just going to let the Olds go and not even try to do anything to it. Current mileage is just over 66,xxx miles, and the service sticker in the door jamb shows last service at 65,387. It was parked shortly after being serviced so I honestly don't think it would take much to get it running again.
As someone else commented, this would be a perfect candiate to clean up and drive as a survivor. Crazy as it sounds, the paint is actually not that bad.
35tac... thanks for the info. I honestly wasn't 100% sure on the 330CI. I'm curious about the vacuum gauge on the console ...Is that a common option?
Cruzn66, ...I'm located in the Pine Bush area.

 

Yes, its a common option. It was used for fuel economy, the higher the vacuum while driving the better the gas mileage.

 

that is amazing!

 

Nice! Love finding cars that have sit for decades.
