newbie looking for 70 cutlass fastback
hey yall,
new to the site, new to olds. i saw a 72 cutlass for sale on the road and i knew what i wanted to be my next toy. started looking into values and other body styles and fell in love with the 1970 cutlass fastback. im just having trouble finding one to fix up. not looking for the daily driver nor am i looking for the junk yard piece. all i ask is solid frame, good sheet metal, and not many missing parts. any advice, tips, or finds would be awesome. thanks guys.
PS: that 72 that started it all is still for sale if anyone is looking for one. looks in great condition (only little rust on lower drivers door. frame is very solid. fastback, 350, orange with paint match rally 2 wheels, black interior.

im in norfolk, va. tried craigslist and found a "scam car". (looks like alot of people found this one, 70 cutlass for $3700). other than that, there are a few that need more work than what i think i can do. this would be my first restor. i've built a few jeeps now but i want a classic for the next toy.

Hmmm....? this 70 Cutlass for $3700, was it green with a white interior?? If so, I saw it, responded thru craigslist via email and no response from seller and was starting to wonder if it was a scam? Tell me more please. What makes it a scam anyway?

I think I see how it's a scam... here's the email I just got
Hi,
The vehicle is still available for sale, price as stated in the ad $3,700. It's in perfect working order, no damages or scratches, it wasn't involved in any accidents. You will inspect the vehicle before the payment will be made. I temporarily moved in Chester, MT with my work and I have the vehicle with me. All shipping costs and insurance during transportation are included in the price because I won a promotion at DAS auto shippers (1 free shipping+$500). You will also receive all necessary documents in order to finalize the purchase. I am selling the vehicle under market value because I need to pay the bank or they will take my house. Email me back if you're interested and have further questions.
Specs: 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass HARDTOP // 74,200 miles // fully loaded // Body type: Coupe // Engine: 8 Cylinder // Ext&Int color: Green with White // Transmission: Automatic // Fuel type: Gasoline.

yup thats the one. after i found out its a scam, i looked on other city's craigslist and found it with a different story for each one. i sent whoever owns the post about 3 inquiries and got a different story every time. i guess the jerk has been posting it for about 4 or five months now.
anyway, you guys know any sites other than craigslist and ebay to find a good buy?
