Not so Newbie near Detroit

Hello Classic Olds

I've been on this site for over 8 months now and have read many great posts.
I have a 68 Cutlass Supreme ( owned for 8 months). I’ve been looking for a 68 ever since I sold one 35 years ago.
when I was young I used to “flip” cars and owned many classics like 67 Chevelle, 66 Nova, 68 Cutlass to name a few.
Life and Kids made me wait to get a classic.
The most asked question is “is it original”?.
Nothing is original on my car. Started out with 400 / jetaway, 2 tone paint - White with Burgundy top and Red interior.
it’s now Silver with Black interior. Has a rebuilt 350 SBO with 350 Turbo.
i love it.
Classic Oldsmobile has already helped me a ton!
Thanks!

Welcome aboard, Marquar! Sharp ride, I like the looks of it. I'm partial to the '68s myself. I like the black on silver. Do your stripes continue onto the decklid? It's hard to tell from the pic; is that a Cutlass grill or 4-4-2 grill? Do you have any particular plans for it?

68 supreme grill painted Black. Needs little fixes like dash lights, rear diff seal and new fuel tank.
all will be done early spring then I'm going to drive the hell out of it!

Welcome, love your car and the Tiger flag! I grew up over in the Battle Creek area. Bought my 1967 442 in Warren, MI in November of 2019. Always nice to see another Michigander onboard.
