Welcome to the forum, I'm curious how long it takes for Rockauto to deliver a package to you..

It takes 3-4 weeks

doing some job last days, such as new headliner and sun visors, new starter motor, put retrosound stereo and Grant steering wheel. Also made a conversion of headlights to Hella with H4 lamp with relays between switch and headlights - probably it’s more drivers friendly at night than stock bulbs

not even a crack in the dash.....s'pose that's one saving grace of the Siberian climate.....you are very lucky with the interior

We are in GMT+5

I believe I am GMT -8 or -9 depending on Daylight Savings Time, so that puts you 13-14 hrs ahead of me.

I like your interior, looks like new still.
Also like your spacious garage.

Welcome to the forum! I've been to Russia and I've seen some scary driving there. Cars driving on the gravel shoulders, more cars driving in the ditches beside the shoulders. A big old Cutlass is perfect for that!

You're lucky to have a nice work environment.

I don’t like this style of driving. It’s so cool to be an asphalt eater with classic American car)

Thank you. It’s not mine garage, but it’s a cool place anyway

This Cutlass wasn’t in Siberia before I bought it. It lives in the village barn (thanks god it was dry) in Kaluga (the city near Moscow) suburbs for about 20 years without moving. When I found it, the price was rather high and I took a time out. Some time later the seller drops it to acceptable level. My ‘85 Ford E-350 Ambulance was sold and Olds becomes mine.
If you’re interested, this Olds was bought for about 7000$. Maybe it’s a high price for USA, but a/g-bodies are ultra rare cars here. I tried to find it for about 12 years or so. I know about 1 a-body and 1 g-body Monte Carlos, 3 g-body Regals, 2 or 3 a-body and 1 g-body Cutlasses, the same number of Pontiacs and Malibus in the whole Russia. For about 10-15 years ago it was a bigger (not so, but noticeably) population of this cars. But it looks like some of them are dead now
