Our 71' cutlass S

smason · 12-06-2006, 09:56 AM

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!

Very nice looking! When was it restored? Looks flawless, can't be that long ago

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!

Sweet. If I get the one I am looking at, I will b changing the color to red.

Hey, Does your engine sit lower on the passenger side or is that just an illusion. One of the issues I have with the car I am looking at is that the engine sits noticably lower on the passenger side

Honestly i can't say that i've noticed that.

If nothing else has been changed it would indicate a motor mount that has given it up.

smason, very nice machine!

More goodies for the car for christmas!

Full weather strip kit ( doors,truck+windows),new front license plate bracket and a trunk mat. So when it warms up i guess all that stuff will get put in.
