almost All original..................except the engine of course!
welcome aboard... plenty of 69 owners here, myself included.
Colorado Springs is a beautiful place, I used to travel there for business a few times a year before I switched jobs a few years ago.. only place that could be 60 degrees one day and then get a blizzard the next.

You are correct that a 455 was not available in a Cutlass in 1969.

it has one 2x4 rust hole in the floor board. ive read about the por15. going to pick some up soon. any advice on going further than flushing fluids. the car sat for awhile it runs great and doesnt overheat even sitting running for awhile but im sure there is something i havent done. i can pull a small engine apart and put it together blind folded but im a little intimidated on what i should do for a car that sat for a little while
