with being a bench seat column shift. aftermarket hood, no OAI air cleaner and drum brakes. not much there other than a painted up Cutlass. if it is not full of bondo it would still be a good price.

The car looks like it could be the real thing but here's a checklist.
Hope it helps.
1.) Nothing special in VIN except the 'M' for lansing built.
2.) If no paperwork, look on cowl tag for double dash (--) for "custom color" car.
3.) Production date no earlier than Jan. 1970
4.) This being a sedan bodied Cutlass S would be the 3677 body (would be on cowl tag with a "3" in front of it)-and the rarest, as advertised.
5.) Should have #6 heads.
6.) 7040250 carb (sorry he's got a holley on it).
7.) Check the trans servo cover for "70", and model #JL, followed by the "julian date" matching production date of car.
8.) Non-A/C, automatic car, should have the standard 3:23 rear (SF) or,
could have optional 3:42 (SH) rear.
9.) Outside on body, fenders should have Cutlass S badging and center tooth of hood should have the "CS" rocket emblem, not just a plain rocket emblem(sorry, aftermarket hood)
10.) Should have rallye pack gauges-if not, could be production date proportional (see 11).
11.) Cars built BEFORE Feb. 17 (I think), 1970 the rallye pack and wing weren't standard features as car wasn't officially available to the public yet (most early cars DO have both).
12.) Should be 6 mounting holes for wing, if original decklid.
*13.) Should have a ground strap, just like the one on the back of the engine, mounted between rear passenger side bumper bracket to the mounting hardware on taillight assembly on the outside of frame rail.
*That last one specific ONLY to rallye's, due to the coated bumpers. If you don't have at least the stuff listed here, probably a fake, most folks overlook the ground strap though.
Good Luck!

Well Paratrooper, If it is no hassle can you check this out, i am kinda in the market for a new(old) car for a DD and even though i would like to get another 69 A-Body, this would be awesome i think. If you could check it out for me i would greatly appreciate it. Pics of the usual spots would be cool as well (trunk floor pans etc.)
