New and Looking for First Olds Project
Hello, and thanks for allowing me to join up here. My son and I restore old cars as a hobby; we have mostly done Chevrolet's and want to find a solid Olds Cutlass for our next project. My parent's always bought Olds cars; my first car was a 67 Delmont 88. Throughout high school and college, I always had my eye on finding a late 60's - early 70's Cutlass. Time to go for it!
If anyone has any leads on good solid project cars, please keep me in mind. I'm not looking for a 442 or rare car. We want something as factory original as possible, hard top or convertible, any options, not a rust bucket or needing tons of metal work. Two doors please! We have budget to spend but this a hobby, not a business!
Thanks for the support. I hope to find an Olds and become a contributor here as I have with my past Chevrolet cars on other message boards.

Welcome
Welcome to the site Jim.
It might help if you post where you are located people close to you might more readily offer up something of interest. Good luck in your search. Are you looking for a big, or a (relative) small car?

You should come to the chapter meetings for Capitol City Rockets (the DC area chapter of the Olds Club of America). We are having our spring Dust Off on Apr 18 at Star Pontiac in Leesburg, VA.
By the way, there was a 67 Delmont for sale at the Howard County swap meet last month.
