71 cutlass with 88000 miles and one owner/350

I'm calling the guy tomorrow and taking pictures hopefully this week.

Asking $1500 obo
looks like it might be RoTtEn.

Maybe I could trade him that purple escort.......

nothing is as rotten as that junker ninety-eight i found.

I dunno, I saw a Jensen Interceptor that might top it.

Lol look at the moss on the ground.

FFS! just crush it already.

Now that WOULD be a project..............

In answer to your question, the price is good for a daily driver if it is safe now, or as a start on a project. Those quarter panels are really bad though, expect major work if you buy it as a project.

looks like similiar rust to the 72 I picked up for $1200, except mine has 120K.

That's not a car anymore...that's a small scurrying animal nest.

Yeah, I'm thinkin, a couple stop signs, some pop rivets, gallon o bondo and a gallon o rustoleum.

The hot chicks checkin me out will never suspect the scummyness that will lay beneath the shiny paint.

I do like the body style of those Cutlasses.... A LOT. I want one :[

Conveniantly...the guy that lives across the street from me has a yard full of cars that have been parked a while. The car in the very very back...from the side (all i can see is the windows basically) looks just like a Cutlass. However, there's a big PICKUP in the way preventing me from seeing the front to determine what it actually is.

Logic dictates i sneak over there at about 3:00 in the morning with a flashlight.

No actually, logic should dictate if you do that, shotgun..............

I have braved many a shotgun barrel to look at cars. I'm actually gonna just call him, he's a pretty friendly guy. haha

True fan!

turns out it's a 1970 Buick Skylark stage 1 conversion with the Buick 455 with a super built 10 bolt 4.11 posi under it.

I found out where he had the rear end work done, and it's a local shop, and he said it's a much stronger setup than the 12 bolt i was originally gonna go for...and there's already a 10 bolt carrier sitting under my Cutlass.

parts and labor only cost him $800.00 ....

I asked a friend about them and he said it was a good company...Ima check em out.

J-(Chicago) · November 27th, 2007, 04:01 PM

It just so happens, I have an extra set of keys for that Buick.
