Here's a few pictures of some of the cars I have bought over the last three years. I wish I'd done a better job of saving pictures of each of my finds but unfortunately I can't find pics of a lot of them.
I started buying these cars in order to get parts for my builds. Eventually that led to me hunting down and buying these cars so I could part them out as a small hobby / business.
I have bought a couple cars that were not A-Bodies but they didn't work out quite so while for me. So I am staying focused on the Cutlass A-bodies for the time being.

Nice selection of cars passing through, thanks for sharing the photos you could find.
I've found focus tends to yield better returns. I've been parting out VW Beetles since the late '80s to support my own projects. As much as I might have wished to get into Buses or Ghias or other VWs, sticking with the Beetles allowed me to develop the knowledge of them and the value of their parts.
Likewise with the A bodies. I'm still on a steep learning curve about the different parts and their values. My one foray into a G body worked out, but was touch and go for a while.

Reason: more info
I started with the 1st post and thought, "wow, he bought 7 cars in the paste three years". And then the additional post followed..... Its hard not getting hooked to the hunt.
I took the seats out today and gave the car a good inspection.
The floors are bad
The trunk weather strip channels are almost completely rusted out
Radiator support is really rusted out under the battery
And the rear package tray has rust damage
Front and rear bumpers are damaged
So it will be parted out
Her parts will live on in other cars.
wow, the last 3 years? Hmmm, bought my life long dream truck 1951 M37 Power wagon, then bought the wife a 1977 trans Am, then bought a 1999 Alero (daily driver), then bought a 2011 Ram, then another 1954 M37 (parts truck) and finally, a 1971 cutlass 442. there are 2 more just don't have pics, a 2001 Monte Carlo, and then bought the wife a 2010 Dodge Charger. the last 3 years. with all that I still have other cars I purchased years ago. my other 2 Olds, 1985 442 and a 1983 Hurst Olds and a 2003 HD Ultra Glide. The Hurst makes it yearly trek to Carlisle Pa GM Nationals. That's it!!!!! the pasture is FULL!!
I just included the A bodies I bought. I've also bought four Mustang Fox Bodies, three convertibles and a GT. I picked up a 1990 F-150 for the shop and I've bought and sold two Dodge Rams. Like you, I love old cars.
My first Facebook purchase arrived today.
I bought it sight unseen with delivery to my door as part of the deal. Well, I did see a few pictures of it before I made the deal. LOL
It's an amazingly complete and original 1967 Cutlass. No, it's not a 442. I have no idea why that 442 badge is on the trunk. It's a fairly solid car but it still has rust issues in the common areas. The doors close with a solid sound just as they would have when the car was new.
