New here from Germany....

alexxx · January 25th, 2009, 11:46 AM

Hi @ all !!!!

I just bought an 66 Cutlass Supreme and try to fill the days of waiting for the ship from amerika with getting some information about the car.

A very important information I need is a data-sheed with everything I need for the german registration, like length, hight, weight, engine size and so on.... Does anyone know where I can get this ???

Seems that i cannot get photos in here, but it is an limousine (4Door) with the rocket 425-engine.....

Can be seen in Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=200294358944

January 25th, 2009, 12:04 PM

Hi! And welcome. You and me living Europe, me in Finnland.

-You have a nice car, like my olds 98!

monzaspyder79 · January 25th, 2009, 03:07 PM

I like your 66 Cutlass Supreme.

Jamesbo · January 25th, 2009, 03:18 PM

Welcome Ya'll [that Southern redneck American for yous guys]

I'd love to take my Olds to Europe, but can't afford it. I'd love to cruise Europe in my 442 Convertible but the price of gas would kill me.

Ok, we've now got

De Nederlands
Deutshceland
Finland
Espana

How many other Euro dollar spender do we have on this forum?

Wilkommen Alex. Ich heisse Jesse, und ich war in Deutschland in 2000 und 2001. Ich habe in Alfdorf gearbeitet, in der Naehe von Schwaebisch Gmuend. Ich habe seit langem fast kein Deutsch gesprochen. Es ist gut dass man eine Interesse fuer Oldsmobiles in Deutschland hat.

I think it is something like

"Welcome Alex. my name is Jesse, and I was in Germany in 2000 and 2001. I worked in Alfdorf, in close proximity to Swabian Gmuend. I have not spoken german for a long time, it is great the interest for oldsmobiles one in Germany has. "

Welcome Alex... this car should be great on the autobahn....

Olds64 · January 26th, 2009, 05:34 AM

Right on Eddie. I was just trying to make Alex feel welcome and use a little bit of my German. It is rusty, but like a bicycle once you know how to use a skill it comes back to you when you need it to.

Welcome to our site alexx

alexxx · January 29th, 2009, 07:29 AM

Thank`s for the warm welcome here.....

Does nobody got an idea where i can get the technical datas for my german registration (everything in the paper:measurements, engine size, horsepower and so on....) ???
Does nobody need something like this in US....???

Oldsguy · January 29th, 2009, 07:45 AM

Sorry, I missed your request for the data. I should be able to get it from one of my reference books tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it. No usually we don't need too much data to register the cars, the vins are what are most important. Each state sets requirements for vehicle registration, not the federal governnemt.

Oldsguy · February 1st, 2009, 03:40 PM

Alexxx,

Here are your specs.

shipping: weight 3,255 US pounds
wheelbase: 115 inches
overall length: 204.2 inches
Front tread width: 58 inches
Rear tread: 59 inches

425 engine: cast iron block, 4.125 inches bore, 3.975 inches stroke, compression ratio 10.25:1, rated brake horsepower 310, 5 main bearings, hydraulic valve lifters, Rochester 2GC carburetor (two barrel). NOTE, this engine does not show as being standard for the f85 (Cutlass) line in 1966 so your engine may have been a special order which it seems was possible.

Hope this helps you out.

convertible 63 · April 13th, 2009, 06:35 AM

Hallo alexx.Here are Claudia & Martin from Schramberg,Black Forest.You got a great car.Congratulations

Which town are you from?Our car is still in Nürnberg for a check up.Maybe you live close to that place

.We would like to see you once on a US car meeting.

rockethawk · April 13th, 2009, 07:48 AM

hello alexx from arkansas

Aron Nance · April 13th, 2009, 12:00 PM

Welcome, Alex! Now, since Jesse responded in German, does that mean if we get a response on the site from Karamursel, Turkey, that I have to respond in Turkish? Was stationed there 1962-64, courtesy of the USAF! Top Secret stuff going on, don'cha know!!!

Cameo White · April 13th, 2009, 09:07 PM

A 425 should not have been available for the f85 in 66. That engine is likely a transplant.

Yellowstatue · April 14th, 2009, 03:37 AM

Welcome Alexx; Nice Olds......Jamesbo, there is the fellow from Italy with the '67? Delta...

German442 · July 2nd, 2009, 06:18 AM

Hi Alex and welcome from Idar-Oberstein! That's southwest of Bad Kreuznach in the Oberpfalz.
That engine is most definitely NOT original! Thebiggest engine Olds put in a Cutlass thru 1967 was in the 442, and it was a 400 cu in 345HP. That's what mine is & it's a matching number VIN, motor block & heads!
Having said that, if you want to register it as an "Oldtimer", you should be able to use the data from the 400 cu in, since the German inspectors don't know much about the cars.
Am Beispiel meiner: Serie: 350PS, 6555ccm, 597 Nm.
Tatsaechlich: 429PS, 6735ccm, 640Nm! The motor has been completely rebuilt and maximized with performance parts available during that period!
Wenn's hilft, kann ich die Daten mailen! Komplett m. Kopie v. Brief/Zulassung!
Dies wuerde vermutlich ein Einzelabnahme unnoetig machen! Spart sehr viel Geld!
Also: check out www.dr-mustang.de. They not only deal with Mustangs & Ford, but they have sections for all US cars, plus they have an entire section of tips on importing & getting the car ready for inspection!
Their annual meeting is 25 & 26 July in Oberhausen at the Centro Mall. Stop by! I'm "Z28 Heritage" on dr mustang.
Gruesse u. allzeits knitterfreie Fahrt!

Are you the ones with the Cutlass convertible? If so, we've been on at least one thread at dr. mustang!

Ralph

convertible 63 · July 2nd, 2009, 08:06 AM

Hi Ralph,

yes, we are the ones from dr-mustang, there called "lefthaender"

I did remember the pic of your Olds when you introduced it at dr-mustang a few months ago, and i tried to find it out again, but without success

Nice to see you here with your beautiful Olds

Can you tell me what`s your user-name at dr-mustang?
(it`s a little bit easier to write in german

)
Maybe we`ll see us one day on a german meeting? (die Oberpfalz ist ja nicht soo weit weg...)

Grüße, Claudia

German442 · July 2nd, 2009, 08:32 AM

Glaub' das war dieser thread ueber Frauen u. Amis, oder?

My user name @ dr mustang is Z28Heritage. Nach unser andere AMI: '92 Camaro Z28 Convertible, 54000 Miles, 1.-Besitz, hat grad (u. auch der Olds!) ein Pokal bei V8-Drivers in Dolgesheim abgeraeumt!

convertible 63 · July 2nd, 2009, 10:09 AM

Hi Ralph, Congratulations!!!

Your second car is very very nice, too!

Is it your son sitting beside you? He looks very proud

My son is in love with beautiful old cars too, he`s driving a yellow 73 Opel GT.
The photos show our cars (the Olds and the red Mustang) driving to Offenburg with some friends in june to the "Regiomotoclassica".

Very nice pictures are also shown on http://americanmuscle.de/09/offenburg/offenburg09.html, shot by Dejan who`s father drives a 64 Olds

Liebe Grüße, Claudia

WOW!!!!

Love that Cutlass 'vert! (sabber, sabber!!!) More pics!
You were almost right- that's my grandson!!! But yes, he caught the US car & old car bug from me & his dad! He grew up with the Camaro- he was 2 when I bought it for a wedding gift for my wife!

Ralph

convertible 63 · July 3rd, 2009, 03:55 PM

Hi Ralph,

thank you, the `vert is a very nice car, I`m glad you like it

Some more pics are added

My best wishes to you and your family for the life with those great cars,

Claudia
