hi all,
finally got my dream car as a present to my self but the wife was all about it so its a win win. i have a million and a half questions already but ill atleast intoduce my self before i blast away. the car i found is a 69 holiday coupe. pretty much all original down to the leaky exhaust. 455 that im guessing sat for a little while but runs like a dream for what it is. im Garry if you have any questions fire away i will be for sure

 

Welcome to CO, great family here. Lots of knowledge, enjoy

 

Welcome Gary and congrats to your purchase. It's always nice to have the wife's approval. The first question is where's the pictures?

 

Congrats on the dream car, I can relate.
Welcome to CO. The 455 is a bonus.
I don't think they were available in the
Cutlass in 69. Welcome to CO.

 

i figured pictures would be the first question ill upload some when i get home. the car was orignially maroon so it looks like a rust bucket but other than a little quarter panel work it seems to be solid

 

Welcome aboard

Please post pics pronto

 

Still waiting for the pictures...........................

 

almost All original..................except the engine of course!

welcome aboard... plenty of 69 owners here, myself included.

Colorado Springs is a beautiful place, I used to travel there for business a few times a year before I switched jobs a few years ago.. only place that could be 60 degrees one day and then get a blizzard the next.

 

Got to love the Rockies for that

 

Do we actually KNOW that the car is a Cutlass at all? Everyone is assuming it is, but the OP has only called it a "Holiday Coupe," which is a body style, not a model, with a 455. Well, Delta 88s, Delta 88 Customs, and Ninety-Eights were available in the Holiday Coupe body style that year, too, and those could have been had with a 455 right from the factory.

You are correct that a 455 was not available in a Cutlass in 1969.

 

Welcome to CO, pictures!

 

sorry i didnt realize there was more than one holiday in 69 figured it was just the cutlass. that kinda throws my name out the window but anyway had to put the picture of the pup in there he wont get out of the car literally have to drag him out

 

Nice, a 4 legged Olds fan! POR15 does wonders for the floor pan. Good luck with your project, lots of help on here.

 

Not at all. Your car is a Holiday. Let others guess exactly which one.

 

it has one 2x4 rust hole in the floor board. ive read about the por15. going to pick some up soon. any advice on going further than flushing fluids. the car sat for awhile it runs great and doesnt overheat even sitting running for awhile but im sure there is something i havent done. i can pull a small engine apart and put it together blind folded but im a little intimidated on what i should do for a car that sat for a little while

 

Welcome to CO!

 

Welcome Garry! From just an hour north of you!
