Hi all

As the title states i'm looking for a cutlass project car. I'm not after a wreck , more a project that needs finishing off. I'm after any advice you could possibly give me because i live in the U.K and will be importing a car from the states , so i wont be able to view before shippng it over.

This will be my first olds and to be honest i know very little about them , apart from the fact IMO there about the best looking car i've ever seen ,. I'm after a early 70's / late 60's car , the one before it came sharper edged ( in 73 ?) the actuall model i'm after is the one with the prominent rear wheel arch flare , told you i dont know alot , like this one

is this a specific model ?

I know that cars prices are dependant on condition but what sort of price should i be looking at for a project car.

I at present have a built up 350 SBC engine , can you tell me if this engine would fit into a olds cutlass ? i have been told that as a GM motor it will.

I really appreciate any help you give me and look forward to any responses. Many thanks .Craig
