I'm looking to buy a 1970 - 1972 Cutlass S. I've got up to $5000 to spend so I know it's not going to be a show car but I'm looking for a nice driver that I can enjoy.

I'm in the Chicagoland area but I will travel if the car is worth it.

 

Hi welcome to the CO. Good luck on finding a car. A lot of people on here look on ebay and craigslist just be carefull.

 

Thanks for the reply! I've been looking on craigslist and ebay but I've yet to find anything decent. Hopefully somebody here has a Cutlass waiting for a new owner.

 

I'm sure you'll find one it just takes a little time.

 

I wouldn't mind checking this out myself for that price....perhaps if I sold my '72....

That ad is from scammer who's been posting links for that car all over Craigslist. Here's the email that he sends:

Hi,

We can deal using eBay.Look how this works:

1. I will contact eBay and give all the info about this deal.
2. They will send us the forms by email - for you about the payment.
3. I will send the vehicle to your location and you will send the payment at eBay.
4. After you will inspect the vehicle and decide to keep it, they will transfer the money into my account.

RETURN POLICY:
If by any reason the vehicle is not as described, or if you find any problems with it I will pay for the returning fees. I'm sure it won't be the case because the vehicle is in excellent condition.
As soon as the vehicle arrives, you will test it and if it does not match 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 5 working days since the arrival date. In this case you will send me the vehicle in the same condition you received it.

I prefer to use DAS Auto Shippers for shipping because I was pleased with their services. The estimated time of delivery is 5 days, with no scratches, it is professionally crated.Good faith has always been my top priority and my most valued business approach.

Please provide me with your full name and shipping address so I can register the deal with eBay.

 

Really....I just sent him a message asking him where he is located...let's see if he answers back! Sounded too good to be true!

 

tell him you will fly out and buy it in person and see what he says........

 

It is a scam, it was talked about on ROP several days ago. His ad is on evry C-list in every city I look, I also emailed him to see what his BS line was and here is his response to me...

 

i live in chicago and have a 72 cutlass s rust free shell from texas on a 18000 mile solid frame, new front suspension, 1985 350- auto trans, rust free core support and fenders. all parts to put together including interior. i have $2900 in it if interested. i have too many cutlasses. chris

 

I finally got a response, and it is the same verbaitum as the response he gave you!!

 

It is the same response he gave to several people on ROP as well. I have been flagging his ads as fast as he puts them up!

 

i left a post today, i hope you guys dont think its me, cell 773 418 0330 chris

 

I just bought a 1970 Cutlass S so I'm no longer looking. So glad to have an Olds again!

 

Congrats on the Cutlass. Tell us more about it.

 

It's Red with Black interior
350 2 bbl
350 Trans
12 Bolt Rear End

From what I was told it was parked since 1989 and the guy I bought it from said he dropped the fuel tank and cleaned it and did some other things to the car like adjust the drum brakes, replace the brake master cylinder, change the trans filter & fluid, grease the chasis, and change the oil.

It does have some issues I'm going to have to sort out though. I tried to drive it home and went 100 miles no problem (was only going 55mph) when with only having 60 miles till home the Cutlass starting sputtering badly.

I could go no more than 30mph and it kept choking out and dying on me. I think the fuel filter is probably gummed up and I'm definitely going to change it. The car needs a full tune up at the least. It has 21 year old spark plugs, spark plug wires, points in the distributor (I'm converting to HEI asap!!!).

So I had it towed home. Oh well. I'm anxious to see how it runs after I do some work to it.

 

do u have any parts for a 71 and 72 like the core support
