I found a '76 Cutlass with SBS and this GMO Package was referred to.

Here is the VIN: 3A37R6M260290

 

Do you have any pictures?

In the past we have discussed special edition cars. This usually is an appearance package bought in bulk by large dealers or a group of dealers.

 

I found this discussion from 2005, I'll try a little more. There are a couple of people on this site that might have more info. Hopefully they'll chime in.

Not that is going to be particularly useful, but working with the seller on getting more photos and background.

 

Reading on another forum, GMO was a regional special edition offered in the Chicago area (Gallant Men of Olds). The car I am looking at is in downstate IL so that would make sense I guess. The code is Y76.

Apparently there were many regional dealer codes in the mid 70s. The car is $12500, a red Cutlass Supreme with white split vinyl roof and opera windows. The SBS option is what I like .

 

We must see pics now! We can't be sure of a correct diagnosis unless we see pics.

 

RPO Y76 was just a dealer special appearance package offered in various years. It's been discussed here before.

Yes, GMO is a Y-76 car. Like stated above, stood for Gallant Men of Olds.


Joe's pics from the brochures above are perfect to explain what they were.


Dealers got them as a promotional thing based on geographic location. Based on the Cutlass S, they had the fastback roof line. It should not be a Cutlass Supreme. They had argent SSIIIs. They had chrome sport mirrors. Some had special badging or decals. I have always had a soft spot for the Y-76 cars.

The red with white top has to look amazing. If you can post up some pics!

 

I saw these (GMO) all the time around here in Chicago. Haven't seen one in a few years but in the day there were plenty of them.
