As the years go by.

It took 47 years but I have just got around to replacing the 1st car my wife and I boubht when we got married. Although it's not the same car it is a duplicate of the 66 442 conv we bought new in Chicago. Going to start a complete restoration this winter. Damn retirement has it's benifits.

Nice looking ride! Hopefully you'll be sharing some pics as you do the restoration.

Globeguy , welcome to CO.
Your 1 picture shows an already exceptional 66 442 convert . Nice color combo.
If I could offer a slight insight. I have just proceeded beyond 44,000 dollars into a total body off frame restoration on my 1967 Olds Cutlass 442.
My initial budget was planned at 25,000. New details are always exposed .
As you go through your complete restoration , share your thoughts , and ideas . There are many wise individuals here that can offer valuable insight .

Your 66 vert really looks nice from the picture . Enjoy it , and best of luck .
Cheers , Jimi .

Very nice! I'm guessing that mobile home I the background isn't going to see much use in the next couple years.
