After 40 yrs, an Olds will be back in the garage...

Finally pulled the trigger and got another Olds after 40 years, I purchased a 70 Cutlass Supreme convert. Couldn't afford another W30, this one is Red with black top.
Has the OAI hood I wanted, and is in outstanding condition, with 310 horse 350, pwr disc brakes, cruise control, 8 track player (now what did I do with all them 8 tracks?) Air Cond and sport steeering wheel..... It's leaving Miami Monday, hopefully it will be here in Scottsdale next Fri or Sat!!!! Looking forward to some major detailing time coming up........

Thanks for the complements guys, I think I'm really going to enjoy this car.
I believe the 2.56 ratio rearend is standard in this model, if so, first on the list will be a search for a 3.42 posi gear set.... yep, I don't think I'm going to have spare money laying around the house from now on........projects are never really completed are they.....

For sure, you can't go wrong staying at the Sanctuary by Camelback mountain.......
From now till next May the weather in Scottsdale is perfect for top down cruising.... Steve the next time you come down, try to make it to the weekly Sat afternoon/till night car show at the Pavilions. Corner of Indian Bend Rd. and the 101 freeway. No charge free for everybody, some spectactular 442s show up......
