Not exactly new to the forum, but I bought another g-body since I joined about this time last year and since I never posted any pics of my first vehicle I thought I'd do it right this time. Long story short, I finally got my dream car March of '08, 1979 Monte Carlo, which is being worked on by my uncle right now. We put in a 385ci with a Muncie 4-speed and was waiting on an aftermarket 9 inch until a tree f#%*in tree fell on it during an ice storm last winter. I just got my lisence back, and since the Monte is far from ready I had to get some wheels. I was originally looking for something fuel effecient, Hondas to be precise. 
Thankfully I ran across an '85 Cutlass Supreme Brougham on Craigslist and never looked back.
It has a 307 and 103,257 miles at the time of purchase. According to the neighborhood mechanic is has a TH400 but I haven't confirmed this. I bought it from an engineering accountant in the next town over who inherited it from his dad who bought it new in '85. It has the original owner's manual and all the service records up to '96 when the original owner passed and the car sat in a barn for years. It had the typical headliner sag and after I drove it for a week the kinks showed up and the heater core burst. Other than that it runs like a champ (after changing the belts, oil, etc).
The only cometic thing I need to do is fix the faded/worn paint on the vinyl cover trim, Anyone know a cheap and easy way to do this? Thanks for checkin out my new ride!
