1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass S (located in Austin, TX 78704)
$7,500 Cash or best offer by: June 4th

I am selling the car of my dreams. I bought it one year ago, and it has been my daily driver for the past year. It is registered, inspected, and has a clear title. It has less than 10k miles on a rebuilt Oldsmobile 455cid, of which I have driven 9k miles. It is my daily driver to this very day. This car is very complete. Every piece is present, accounted for, and mounted properly to the car. It is not all matching numbers. I have provided every spec for the car that I can find. In my research I found that this car originally had an Olds 350cid. It now has a 1971 Olds 455cid.

I also have the 1 yr. old factory water pump in great working condition. All suspension replaced in the last 3 years down to the last bushing, and front and rear sway bars. GM A bodies have 4-link rear suspension, which is amazing. I love the way this car handles.

Known Issues:
1. Slow battery drain coming from around the key lock cylinder. Haven't been able to afford to get it looked at. Takes about 3 weeks to drain a fully charged battery if left sitting.
2. Interior is complete, just needs new vinyl seat covers front and back.
3. Needs a new factory headliner.
4. Has an exhaust manifold leak on the passenger side.
5. Dash lights don't work.
6. Although it has an electric choke, still needs to be warmed up in cold weather like most carbed big blocks.
7. Dent in the driver side door. Not major.
8. Key scratch along the passenger side. (I actually caught the guy who keyed my car. Sweet redemption…)
9. Front windshield weather strip leaks in two small areas.
10. Some rust, some bondo, honestly nothing cancerous that I've seen. I'm no expert, so feel free to examine.
11. Burns approximately 1 quart between oil changes. I’ve changed it twice, and I only use Full Synthetic Oil. That means it burns 1 quart of oil every 5,000 miles.
12. It has a Cutlass Supreme Hood, and Grill Inserts. I pointed that out to the prior owner, and he had no idea how they ended up on the car. It didn’t bother me because I had planned on replacing the hood with the fiberglass ram air hood, and the 442 grill inserts.

All in all, the car looks, runs, drives great. I can’t go 5 minutes without getting a compliment on it. Please let me know if you are interested in seeing the car in person. I would be happy to make appointments for serious buyers. I have over $12k in receipts from prior owner. Must be seen and driven to fully appreciate it.

I will add photos of the interior by 5/23/2009 so please check back. I will provide the new link to those photos as well. I just need to get personal belongings out of the car first, so it doesn’t look so cluttered. I appreciate your patience.

Did some anus key the passenger side??

[jonstringer]

You guessed it. A skinny emo kid who saw his ex-girlfriend sitting in my lap at a party. He keyed it, someone watched him do it, and came straight to me. I walked up to him, and sensibly asked for him to pay for that side of my car to be repainted. He was scared to death, so he agreed. Not the "beat down" story I'm sure you were hoping for, but better in some ways.
