You might want to change the font color so you can read the price

Nice car btw

jaunty75

I don't see the price.

allyolds68

Look carefully under "ForMore Information" at the bottom. It's hidden in white font

jaunty75

NOW I see it. Why all the froo-froo with the fonts and everything? Sometimes people are too clever for their own good. Just say the price. In black and white.

For those of you, like me, who don't have spectrophotometers for eyes, it's $30,000.

allyolds68

I think he cut it an pasted it from another listing and it also copied all the html codes. The background for the place he originally listed it was probably black

jaunty75

Yeah, but couldn't he CHECK his post after he posted it to make sure it's legible and then go back and fix it if it isn't? After all, he's trying to sell the car, isn't he? He shouldn't make potential buyers do his work for him!

stevengerard

wow, nice looking car - good luck with the sale

Man I wish I could go back to 1972 and drive a car like that in high school. ~BOB

beautiful car, so I guess purchased after 2 yrs old?

m455sx

Can you post vin# and you mention survivor but you have wrong trunk lid????

Olds442redberet

What's wrong with the trunk lid?

m455sx

442's did not come with the Cutlass Sumpreme trunk lock surround.

Olds442redberet

Wow! It's all in the details, which I am still learning. Thanks

P.S.
It's still a very nice looking car.

The cars that came equipped with a 3:91 rear,also came with HD-cooling.Did the car originally have a different ratio in it?It looks like you have standard cooling,so trying to determine what was changed.

MDchanic

Not to sound TOO critical, but I don't know a single person who had an A-body in high school (including me) who didn't wipe the nose out on a telephone pole or a tree at least once.

Also, do you have a build sheet for it and some interior pics?

Passenger fender has crumple "zones" so it has been replaced. Thought still nice looking. He, he, that's how I ended up with a OAI hood on my SX!

VikingBlue

did any very late 1970 cars have the 'crumple zone' fenders ? Or early 1971 cars have the flat ridge fenders ? It couldn't have been a perfectly executed part switch

stevengerard

supposedly some early 71s got the flat ridges not the other way around so that passenger side was replaced. Also the taillights have the silver trim around them, some discussion about that as well. On 442s they are all red with silver side edges on Cutlass Supremes they are red with the silver ring and the silver side edges.

507OLDS

The latest built 70 that I had,was built July/70,and it had the flat rail fenders.ALL 70's had the flat rail,and some early 71's had them as well.

MDchanic

Since the crumple feature was a safety requirement in a law that took effect on January 1st, it is reasonable that all of the 1970s, made through the summer of 1970, would not have this feature, and that some of the 1971s, made before January 1st, 1971 would not have it, but that ALL 1971s manufactured during 1971 did have it.

I notice the OP has not been back since his first post now 10 days ago. Make you wonder a bit. Why post like he did and then not check back fairly soon to see what interest, if any, has developed? There are several very good unanswered questions here.

MDchanic

Indeed.

507OLDS

Did you also know that there was a batch of chassis frames made in 1971 that were tweaked and crooked,and were still installed under various Cutlass/442's.

MDchanic

I did not know that, but I am sure as heck not surprised.

1970supremevert

well here is what is did to my high school car (A-body) sorry don't mean to jack the post, Eric was partially right

MDchanic

Did you spin it into something, or did you go wide?

stevengerard

Clearly the OP hasn't been around so high jack welcomed, look at the beef on those back rims!!!!

1970supremevert

went wide into cement base for parking lot lights at a mall rear end slid in loose sand then, ouchie happened !!! yeah those were Road Hugger I think g 60-14
pics after repair

redoldsman

Looks like the OP doesn't post a lot. He has been a member since March 2008 and has posted 7 times.

stevengerard

yeah, I just figure its getting him free bumps and making us more knowledgeable

MDchanic

Ow. I can see that happening.

Here's a picture of one of the times I took the nose off of my Chevelle.
Getting ready for a tow home after trying to beat it back into shape enough to drive. Note grille lying on ground behind car. Y'know what those are worth now?



- Eric

ent72olds

More importantly Eric, do you know what those vintage shorts are worth now....?

MDchanic

Hey, I had a pair that I used to wear all the time that were cut so short that the pockets stuck out below the bottoms of the legs (and if I wasn't careful that wasn't all).

pcard

Now you are bragging, or the pants must have been REALLY short.

1970supremevert

nice car too bad about the nose problem, no air bags and we are still here

MDchanic

I'm not bragging, but there's a point where if your shorts are too short, one wrong move, and, well, it can be awkward.

I've got to admit, I like the longer ones people wear nowadays because if I'm lying under a car, I won't upset the passers by. If you recall, the ones in the picture were about the longest you could get back then.

sammy

Uhhhh...I still wear them!......and square headlights are new
