I will just share this on your tread. The only pic I have(for now)of my first car. November of 1988,I bought a local beat down hot rod named "Blue Max" a 67 Cutlass Supreme 330,2 speed black roof and interior. I paid $200 for it,I pop riveted in some floors,put some house carpeting and van seats in it,and fixed the front brakes,and drove it for about a month before deciding that I bit off more then I could chew on a kid's budget. I cut it up and kept the engine and trans. I am now looking to restart the dream of my youth. My mother took this pic,and recently found it and gave it to me. I would be willing to bet that there are more in her box of pics,or at least the negatives for more,but I dont want to bother my parents for it right now. Here is the best I can do. Me at 17,with my 80's metal hair,working on my first hot rod.
BTW,I can from a LONG line of good Olds guys. My grandfather had many Oldsmobile 98's,my father's half brother who I didnt really know raced rocket 88 powered 53 Oldsmobiles years before I was born,my parents owned 3 different 67 Olds 98's when I was growing up,one of which came from my grandfather,and my parents owned varios other Olds' over the years. The 67 98's were what sold me on wanting a 67 Cutlass for my first car and wanting to seek out one of those strong running 425's for it's power.
