[blown 68]

hey folks, my uncle is looking into buying a 1966 olds, an L-69 optioned one. (1 of 157.....) since we are pontiac folk by trade, i was just wondering if anyone here has good resources for oldsmobiles? favorite forums, vin data mainly, websites with key info, (verifying the pedigree, via vin, trim tag, etc....) i know how to do all this for the poncho's, but am dry on the olds front............


thanks again friends, and here's to a plentiful 2010 to you all.....

I owned and restored a 66 442 rag 1986-96. Feel free to email me if any questions I may be able to answer.

As well as my 69 GTO convert I have a 68 Culass convert (owned since 69) and have used: www.realoldspower.com a forum like this but not nearly as well used.

This link has just about all the reference information you need to start with. You can spend an hour or two here easily. http://www.442.com/oldsfaq/oldsfaq.htm

After that, joining an Olds forum is the best bet, and I think Classic Oldsmobile is very good: http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/index.php

Realoldspower.com is ok, but it's completely unmoderated. You won't be able to sign up as no one responds to e-mails (I've known at least 6 people that never received replies and could not join this site over the past year). Vulgar language, nudity, it's there in all the threads, so surf this site at your own risk. Lots of good info if you can get past the junk, and some knowledgeable people.
