Hey all, just purchased a 1975 cutlass supreme with a 350 two days ago and just got her registered today. Everythings original besides some rims the previous owner put on, which im switching out for the stock ralleys. its the first car Ive ever owned and i gotta say driving an oldschool is like driving a boat, takes some gettin used to. Looking to gain some knowledge so i can start putting work into the car. Ill put pictures up later today.

You are now part of the Olds Family and what a great family it is. Enjoy you stay. And by the way it steers like a yacht not a boat

Glad to see you picked a classic olds for your first car. Where are you located in northern Ca.? I reside in the north also. You can find me and my Olds about 35 miles east of Chico. If you need help on anything give a holler....Tedd

heres one picture, ill take more tomorrow during the day. I got the car with the rims for $2500, everything is original besides the wheels, alarm system and a modern stereo. Im getting the stock ralleys later this week and im going to put them on and sell these ones. Would love to get some toque thrusts or cragar ss wheels. luckily the previous owner didnt cut the wheel wells or the suspension so the tires scrape when i go over bumps. shitty sunny tiresalso make for a rather rough ride. 61k original miles, 350/350 trans was rebuilt 3 years ago at 50k. Runs like a bat out of hell for such a big car. Anybody know how much mpg these get? Im guessing like 13, but my fuel gauge is all over the place.
