Hi from NH
Hi everyone, My name is James and I own a 1970 Cutlass S. My father and I (mostly me) bought this car for a thousand dollars when I was 16 off a church that was selling it to fund an orphanage they were building in Bolivia. We drove down to get in Maryland, and drove it back no problems. Since the car has arrived back in NH it has been driven less than 50 miles! Long story short, I went to college, and my father got remarried and had kids that came with the marriage, so we both put the car on hold for years and years. I just got married, and he's still treading water, and 7 (going on 8) years later, the car is still not being driven! The good news is that the body is in fantastic shape now, and is primed, just trying to scrape together 2 grand so my buddies brother can paint it for us. The interior is in fair shape, except the headliner (coming down) and the front seat looks like a bomb went off on it. After paint, we'll probably have 10 grand or so in the car (there was some body repair we just could not do). This car WILL stay with me for life; I've already made sure the wife is on board with that! I can say that before I bought this car, I knew NOTHING about engines, and I really still don't. Everyone here possess a far superior knowledge base. However, we've never been shy of trying anything, and I love DIY because I am broke as hell! Oh, I also got a hold of a 1972 4 Door Cutlass with a blown head just last week, paid 500 dollars for it just for the rims and tires. Not sure what to do with the rest of it now, after we pull off pieces we need. The interior is in good shape...and black, but unfortunately nothing will fit mine. There are so many great threads here that I've read already, and I can't wait to get to know some of you guys (and gals). I'll post pictures in an album sooner or later. Thanks for reading!

Hi James welcome to the site. Yes we love pics. You might be able to resale the 4dr if nothing else is wrong with it. If you could fix it and get it running. It would be a good learning tool for you and if its in decent shape raise more funds for your 70. Good luck.
