Post Newbie to Site

Hi Everyone
I am restoring a 66 Cutlass convertible. When I was younger, I owned a 66 442 with 3 2's. It was always my favorite car even though I got into alot of trouble with it. I also own a 65 GTO that I restored 11 years ago. There is nothing like the classic look of old cars.
Thanks
Greg

Welcome from another Kentuckian. I sold my '66 Cutlass convert about a year ago. Autumn Bronze, white top, 330/320, auto, bench, fact A/C. It went to NJ and got flipped about 6 mo. later. Not sure where it is now ...

I'm just starting to put mine back together. I always wanted another 66 since I had the 442 when I was younger. I'm going to try to get it to the painting stage this winter.
