Hello to all you folks out in Olds land. I am new to this site, and it looks like a wealth of knowledge.
A bit about myself..........
I live in NC now since 1992. California before that, but am originally a Hoosier from Northern Indiana. I've owned a lot of classic cars in my life, mostly Pontiacs (early Firebirds) and Chevy's.
I've always loved the looks of the Olds Cutlass and have owned a 1972 Cutlass 455 convert, and a 1973 Cutlass Supreme .
My wife and I have been fortunate enough to get our two kids through college, and I swore I would get myself another classic car once that day came. So I just recently bought a 1972 Viking blue Cutlass Supreme (350 - 4 barrel) to enjoy. It was a nice original, low mile (65k), very solid NC car. I've since had it painted, new vinyl top, new interior, engine pulled and detailed, new dual exhaust with ceramic headers, new tires and SS1 rims, etc, It still needs a little bit of finishing, but its well on its way. It came with an original 442 style hood which I plan on getting put on soon.
I had the car converted from a bucket seats and column shift, to a floor shift,console, with Hurst dual gate shifter.
I'm sure I will be needing a lot of technical in the future.Thanks in advance.
