I came across this listing http://slo.craigslist.org/cto/4360361410.html and with the car in California and me being in Massachusetts I need to see if someone can look at for me. I sold my 71 Cutlass convertible last spring and was holding out hope in finding a 442 that I liked but the prices seem to have risen this last year. I started looking for a 70 Cutlass S with AC and came across this one today. I spoke with the owner and he is sending me more pictures but I would like to see if someone is in the area of San Luis Obspo, CA can look at it in person. The ad states that there is a small bit of rust in the trunk's left corner and when I talked with the owner he said everything else is good.

what kind of car, years and body style are you looking for/ willing to accept?

I'm looking for/ willing to accept a ready to drive car that needs little to no work. I do not want to get into replacing/patching panels or painting a car. I do not mind an interior (as long as it is white or black) that needs portions recovered/replaced. The car must have A/C and I prefer a 1970 or 1971 but will consider a 72. I would also like to stay around $12k.

If you see something let me know,

Thanks

Decent looking car, wonder if the rust is more than stated?

tdhill01

I decided against pursuing it.

Fummins

Did you discover issues with the car?

tdhill01

Never pursued it because communications issues with the seller. It started off ok but then trailed off. I first asked for additional pictures which he didn't do and then when I told him I had someone to look at the car for me he said he was heading out for a couple of days but he did speak with Magna86 from this forum. When I did not hear from him the day after he was back (my phone and text messages went unanswered) I texted him the following day and he finally responded that his trip got extended. I figured that was it I wasn't going to waste my time or other people's time so I politely passed on the car.

The end

Thanks for the info.
