We one aboard!!!

I Confess, I miss my 71/350 Rocket. Red ext. white int. Nice car. Real nice.

Isn't it crazy the 350 was essentially based on the 455 long block?

Welcome from Mid-Michigan. Love the old Cutlass/442/Hursts. My brothers good friend has a really nice early 70's W-30.
Good luck with the RR. What are the plans?

Full Resto, but in the meantime get it drivable as a daily, while I save some greenbacks

I actually have no idea about that. I only owned 4 Oldsmobile cars.

At 17-18, it was a Delta 88-4 door. Then the (wife’s) ‘71 Cutlass & ‘67 Dynamic 88/425 ultra high compression engine/quadrajet followed by 80-something- 5-6, I forget, 442-t-top. Good lookin car. Grey in and out with Gold pin striping. 305/4spd auto/3.73 geared. I kept breaking T tops and finally sold it because it drove me crazy.

IF I was to do another GM small block, I’d make it an Olds 350 to have fun with in something small/light, like an Omega. Or that ‘71 again!

Congratulation.
It's not your father's Oldsmobile.

Pretty funny. My first car was a 1966 Dynamic 88, 330 Ultra High Compression. Cost me $35 after it was rear ended and my buddy was going to junk it. Drove it for 6 months. I think it was running on 5 cylinders and the trunk was tied down with rope!!!! Didn't know much about cars then. It was a tank though.

Welcome aboard from another 70' Road Runner owner. Cool car you found.

As for freedom, you have to be more specific in terms of gun control, taxes, etc. I hate it here...born and raised, married with two healthy trouble-making kids. We would leave, but some of our family member's are ill. Until then we are stuck :/

I can't help the sick family members but.
OK, freedoms such as your new gas tax, vehicle license increased fee's, insurance increases for what, so that the Wetbacks can have more rights then you. And being treated as a 4th class citizen, becoming a Sanctuary state that cares more for them[wetbacks] then you. Then wait till your hit with the "I'm Moving Out of State Tax" that y'all are going to get raped with real soon, then what. Put a gun to your head? Oh wait, you can't have those either and if you do, then where's the ammo? Do I really need to continue? Good Luck
