Just as long as you are happy... at least for a while... So what color is it destined to wind up? How about Black with White motion style stripes? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[MikeA]

Cool project. Good luck and have fun! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[gtomike1967]

What are your plans for the car?
Drag car, street cruiser, sleeper?
Just curious.

Mike

Nice find guys, looks like a nice solid car, is that blue the orig paint?? dont look like it has the dreaded rust in the lower panels. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Bud.

[JoeG]

Hey Ed-----Nice car Pantara found for you--The Ram Air collectors under the front bumper would be http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif--Anyway congrats---Nice project--------Joe

[Pantera]

It has had a repaint, but the door jams look original. there is no rust under this car. It is really solid. It has to have been a garage queen for most of its life. Most cars you find around here are reasonabley rust free, but this is exceptional.

[jg95z28]

Must've been garaged. My blue 67 Camaro is just as clean and it was parked in a storage locker for 23 years.

Nice find! I love alternative musclecars! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Pantera]

Other way around this time. Ed found it and I just provided the tow dolly and a little support. Ouch my back...!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

1968 is a great year for a Cutlass and your car has tremendous potential. Most guys wish that their projects started out as clean as yours. Look forward in seeing future restoration pictures. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[55chevy]

Yeah I'm still in the mode where I just sit and stare at it and dream of what it should look like... I've got alot of Ideas but I'm going to do this one right. Only thing I know for a fact right now is I want to retain the vinyl top and all the original trim but going to put 68 442 grill and emblems on it and maybe get a the cutout rear bumper since the bumper has a small dent anyway.. Drivetrain will be the '65 425 that I already have and a 4spd. Originally it has the 2spd powerglide still in it. And it's got a factory 12 bolt rear.. ratio unknown right now.. But I'll likely go with a 4.10. This is going to be the FUN car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif .. oh yeah and it needs a complete interior kit.. Going to keep the bench seat too http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[JoeC]

Ed, Motion did a '68 442 with mag wheels and 67 Corvette side pipes. It was a dark color maybe black with white cowl stripe down the fender and mag wheels. looked cool

[55chevy]

Joe I've been looking for pics of that for a long time.. Do you have any? All I've seen Motion/Olds-wise has been pics of the Motion/Markowitz 68's. I'll post the pics.. Post up some pics of others if you have them.. that goes for ANYBODY.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Congrats Ed! I dig the post cars... should make a nice project for ya! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Chevy454]

I'd build it to W-31 specs. That was the REAL performer for the Olds lineup in '68...

[55chevy]

Keep 'em comin guys http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[hvychev]

Ed my fathers neighbor across the street Mark Turner bought this car brand new in 1968. My father took the pic circa 1968. The car was Yellow with a black stripe and interior. It will make a great project! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[JoeG]

Here's that Motion Olds--------------

[55chevy]

Joe Thanks. That Olds looks good with the Vette side pipes.. Are there any other photos of it? What do you think Larry? Can you hook me up with a set? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Pantera]

You will have to take out a FHA loan just to get a complete set of them. Are you sure that you want them? I will keep my eye out for you a set. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[55chevy]

just the covers http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[MosportGreen66]

There was a set of 65-66-67 Vette S/B pipes and covers on e-bay... NOS in the box. The auction ended at $1,800. SMALL BLOCK Pipes and covers. Ed, I have some extra parts PM me if your interested.
