1973 Cutlass Supreme Seats?
Working with my son on possibly buying a 1973 Cutlass Supreme 455, working on final price. We are looking at what needs repaired/replaced and just can't seem to find where to get seats/covers. The front bucket seats need replaced, black vinyl with the "fancy" embroidery in the top, are those avaiable anywhere?

Thanks, really torn on this purchase. 2 owner 1973 Cutlass Supreme with 455, 173k miles, rebuilt transmission, original engine sounds strong but never rebuilt, original paint silver with black vinyl both need redone, solid no rust except surface where paint gone, front seats worn, carpet worn, A/C doesn't work, can't many comparable for sale, is the NADA value realistic?

NADA values are hardly ever realistic. This car is worth what someone pays. No one is yet making seat covers for the 73-77 crowd, which is pretty normal. It's not exactly easy to acquire certain parts for them. You can get carpet, however, so I guess that's a plus! I got mine from ACC.
Definitely a plus that its a 455 car. That color combo has to look great!
Post some pics!

Very true! Good point Joe! I had not thought of that, and thank you for bringing that up.
For 1973, for the most common engines, if the 5th digit is a K or M, it is indicative of a 350. U or V would be the 455.

That's not a bad price, but you would need to consider the mileage is high, interior repairs and paint are not cheap these days. Plus you may be looking at a rebuild in the near future. I would check out the dash under the dash pad for cracks and warpage.
I would ask the owner if the timing chain has been replaced, if not that would be the first thing on the long list of repairs.
I'n that case I would drop $500. off his asking price myself.
You could ask the guys over on the other new 73-77 site, you could join as a member ther as well.
Here is the link if you are interested, http://73-77oldsmobile.freeforums.net
I hope this helps,
