another FNG lol

Howdy everyone

I just recently picked up an (as far as i can tell) all original 67 cutlass supreme it needs a little work but it runs down the road decent and stops so i plan on driving it this summer then this fall start the tear down and freshen up the 330 in it and maybe some different gears, springs, redo the interior, fix the small amount of rust it has and paint.

I dont have nay pics of the car on my computer as of yet but will take some tonight for you guys to see.

my name is Ken and Im from south haven MN just thought i would introduce myself and please bare with me as i learn i am not stranger at all to cars or trucks but dont know much about old oldsmobiles ive only really played with old chevys and mud trucks lol.

Welcome, Ken.
I'm kinda partial to '67's also.
Nice find.
Factory A/C, bucket seat/console floor shift, good body
plus a front license plate bracket .
Great pics.
That 2-barrel 330 is a great engine.

If you decide to change the steering wheel to a custom one,
I'd be very interested in your stock dark blue one.

yeah the A/C will definetly be getting hooked back up and the seats redone. mine has the 4 barrel on it says high ultra high compression use premium gasoline only on the air cleaner. and as far as i can tell the motor has never been opened up or at least for a very long time car has 105000 on it and it has been in my area since new i guess

Ken, Thanks for the tag pic. Interesting car and interesting tag. 4C doesn't show up but who knows. Good luck on the restoration. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

We can get most of that cowl tag:

01D = 4th week of January 1967 body completion date
67 = duh
3 = Oldsmobile division
38 = Cutlass
17 = Hardtop Coupe
LAN = Lansing assembly plant
14801 = body sequence number at Lansing
Paint code D = Crystal Blue lower body color
Paint code 2 = black vinyl top
973-B = blue vinyl strato-bucket seats
E = tinted windshield and windows
2E = air conditioning
2X = ?
2G = center console
2R = rear speaker
4C = ?
5Y = deluxe seat belts

I see that there is no A/C compressor in the engine compartment but I see in that one view of your dash that there is an A/C vent on the far left side, so that suggests your car originally had it. Obviously you have a console.
