Look what followed me home yesterday

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

A Nice belated Birthday present Ed! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

Now if I can only keep these storms and tornados from blowing it away...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

Cool project. Good luck and have fun! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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

Mike

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Bud.

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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.

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif .. oh yeah and it needs a complete interior kit.. Going to keep the bench seat too https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

I have a couple others that were just advertisements and they're pretty small. Would love to see more Motion/Oldsmobles https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Do any still exist?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

Congrats Ed! I dig the post cars... should make a nice project for ya! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Look what followed me home yesterday

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