Our 71' cutlass S
My wife's grandfather bought it new in 71'. Through the years it was a some what daily driver. Before he passed on, he gave the car to my father in law. Since then it's has been restored to almost 100%. There's a few small things left to do but it's looking great!

The minor body work was done in 1996, the seats we did in the summer. Everything else is the way it was. Motor,transmission and rear end are all original and never re-built. We finally got new bolt on center caps this week and we still need to put the new headliner in. Plus there are some christmas goodies coming for it too!

I guess the level of difficulty would depend on your mechanical ability.
You are a step ahead by not having air conditioning components to deal with.
Did you change out the valve covers on your engine,those are not original to the car but are a nice touch

That car sure reminds me of mine! I have a '72 Cutlass S that is an original-paint car in Matador Red w/ Black vinyl top. Mine has a black bench interior and I added correct SS1 wheels. I also am using the "script"valve covers in my refurbishment. My car reaaly needs "NOTHING" and everyone says I'm nuts to touch it but "What the Heck". I'm planning a lot of suspension and a few minor performance upgrades---currently a 64k miles, 2bbl, single exhaust, un-touched survivor with functioning A/C. Boy!, I REALLY like your interior!!!! You have a GREAT looking car!
