Welcome
Hey Jon, Welcome, from another Coloradan! I love that color! That was the original color of my first '68 Cutlass S before I painted. Where was your picture taken?

Welcome. Need. More. Pictures!
Back in June we were visiting the wife's family in Fountain, beautiful out there. He's got a pro-modded '70 LS6 Chevelle SS that is really nice.

Welcome to this site and enjoy your "new" 4-4-2! Thanks for the pics - it takes awhile but you figured it out how to post pretty fast! It took me a couple of weeks!

Jon, welcome to the site.
Nice looking car! I imagine you've done some research on it before you bought it. Looking at the paint I'm guessing it's code S S on the cowl tag? Interesting that the PO used a cloth for the bucket seats. Other than that, the only thing that looks wrong to me is the W36 stripe on a non W36 car.

Nice to see the gas tank is full and it's ready for some cruising.

ha! Wishful thinking on the fuel gauge. It definitely doesn’t work. It’s on my list, once I get the motor sorted out. It’s a dog here at elevation so I’ve got to get the carb dialed in and timing touched up first.
