Howdy —

Actively looking for a car as close as possible to the one my dad bought new in '72 to surprise him for his 70th birthday. A decent driver that could use some work fits the bill here. Not looking for a total restoration or one that's been totally restored. Unrestored original or one that has an older paint job that's a good 20-footer is perfectly fine. Some minor rust is ok, (i know how these cars rusted even when just a few years old) but not looking for something that needs major metal work. I'm located in the Austin, TX area.

Details:
1972 Olds Cutlass Supreme hardtop (no S's, convertibles, or 442's)
350/automatic/4bbl

Preferred:
a/c
power steering
power brakes (front disk)
vinyl top delete or one that's been removed for paint
magnum 500's would be ideal although not a deal breaker!
front bench with fold down armrest — buckets are ok too
original radio or one that hasn't had the dash cut to put in a modern unit

High-preference:
'Broque Gold' color with saddle interior
Other considerations: 'Saddle Bronze' or similar coper or gold colors.

Pic for reference:


Thanks in advance!

Bump. Still looking

 

Good luck on your search. I owned an exact twin to that car.

 

That was a really popular color in 1972. I had a Monte Carlo with that color combination. I believe Chevrolet called it Golden Brown.

 

Paint code 57 Baroque Gold - my ragtop was originally that body color, white top and interior remain as was but a prior owner did a body-off red respray sometime in the late 90's - still some of the gold showing on the inside of the doors though...

Indeed was a very popular '72 Olds color from what I've heard/seen.

good luck on the search - great idea if you can make it work!

 

Somewhat close…..

Interesting. I had a 72 Cutlass convertible that had been repainted red before I bought it. It was originally brown with white top and interior.

 

Here's one.

From the photos this one looks good.

I am looking for a two door hardtop Saddle Bronze 1972 Cutlass Supreme that is similar to the one my Dad had bought new.

 

Thanks for sharing. Dude doesn't seem interested in selling as he hasn't responded to my messages in several weeks.

Oh well, search continues.
