It is the original color/ vinyl top combo but has been repainted about 15 years ago. I thought it had original 350, but decoded engine and found it has a '69 350 block. It has the original bench black interior which needs work.

I am trying to figure out what rearend is in the car. I believe its a 2:73 ratio. Did '72 come with 8.5 or 8.2 10 bolts?

Hey, welcome aboard. That's the same color scheme as my 72 Cutlass S!!

72 came with an 8.5 corporate rear end. 2.73 rear ends were very common with these cars. A good cross of economy and some performance. What's the VIN and Cowl tag info on your car? From what you've said it should be something like 3G87H2?2XXXXXX and your cowl tag should have paint code 14 B Trim - 940, It will also have other information that can be decoded for your info. Nice looking car!
