We have lift off..50 Olds is on the way to me

The 50 Olds i recently bought is finally on the way to its new home in So Cal . I am so stoked, cant wait to get her and put some nice dual exhaust and give the front end a little attitude with lowering about 1 1/2 inch. The she will "sit" just right.

 

Cruzr is going to let me be the first one to drive it.

 

Truly one of my favorite cars! From watching your past projects this thing will be killer. Congrats!

 

Tman , Not doing to much besides the exhaust and the rake, it doesn't need much. Engine and tranny have 200 miles on complete rebuild. Maybe change the carb to a 4 bbl down the road

 

Thats the thing, those cars do not need much, but you will nail the stance and that is what matters!

 

Used to drag race a '50 Olds back in the late 60's. If you've still got the 303 in her...put some 1.6 rockers on it to add some pep.

 

nice looking car,really nice........

 

tell me it still has the 303 in it???????

 

Awesome! Congrats!

 

Yes, still has the 303

 

Looks great Randy. Stance, some caps and maybe dual fours or 3X2.

Great looking car. Will look even better when you get done with it.

As was said......they don't really need much.
Always have liked this model Olds.

 

i must say again,that car is sweat......................

 

Look at the prices on these! Ouch! I'll bet you can do a lot better thyan that.

 

Just WOW! That thing is STYLIN'. DD

 

Hot damn bro, I am stoked for ya. Thse are such beautiful rides. I like the plan. Had a 49 coupe and wish it was still mine. Enjoy!! ~sololobo~

 

Man,I bet it's been hard waiting on the Olds to arrive,,it's been almost 3 weeks hasn't it? HRP

 

A buddy had a 50 years ago with a later 394 in it. Very cool car. Until the LF wheel came off on an interstate exit one night. Didn't really hurt much,just scared the shit out of us...
Check yer lug nuts....

 

Yea it's been about 3 weeks since I bought it, but I wanted it shipped by these guys, and it's worth the wait

 

Factory were 1.6. You want to use the rockers from a 324 which are 1.8. Either way bitchin looking car.

 

......and with the full, WHITE-glove treatment, no less! DD

 

Randy that cars going to look great with some cob webs and skulls added. LOL
Let us know when your taking it to papa Z's for breakfast.
Rob
PS I hope your over the flu.

 

Rob... Should have it there not this weekend but the next one for sure, I will run it to the muffler shop as soon as I get it which should be mid next week and she will be ready by that Saturday for sure

 

Wow the shipper just called me to let me know its safe and on the way and when to expect it. First class company !!!

 

Less is more.. Perfect...

 

Kind of weird seeing a guy from So Cal waiting for a car to be shipped.... it's usually us poor folks in the Midwest or out east waiting for a car from out there!! beautiful car.. GM had it right with those Olds and Buicks...coming from a Ford guy!

 

This was a 5yr plus search for the right car. There not as plentiful as Fords,and some others. If I would have found one like this local for sale, it would have been a bonus. I am just happy to get the car .

 

Cool congrats you`ll like the 303 i like mine, How was Intercity I used them and it was a great experience really good to work with.

 

My favorite car of all time----had two back in the early 60's=install 1.6 rockers as someone suggested and a 53 98 ( I recall)small 4bbl and intake
would love to have another someday

 

Looks like a nice one.... glad you found it.
