Mine was very similar, and not nearly as original. I'm not crazy about the colors, but for $4K beggars can't be choosers. Definitely pick that up if it's straight and in good driving condition.

I agreee with riley, it is a steal. My 55 cost 5000 and I can't drive it. It is a beautiful car at a once-in-a-lifetime price. Good luck with whatever your decision is

Depends how the rust work was done if any. Mine had it's fair share around the back window. Looks nice from the pics anyway. Paint doesn't look too old? A fairly new decent paint job is worth what he's asking for the car. A change to black interior would be in my mind if I bought it.

Snap it up!! That is a keeper. It's not highly optioned but it looks like it's in really nice shape. Love the emerald color and the interior color, just not in the same car. That car is begging for a black interior or an outside color change. Does your boss have super stock wheels that might have come with the car? The chrome ones on it look ok, I just like the look of the olds super stocks better.

Anyway, with a 455/400 combo I don't think you'll care what color it is when you pound it. And I don't think anyone else sitting at a light is going to know what hit them. Cheers!!

Get it and dont change anything but the fluids, or maybe back to factoy wheels. That would be all!!!

1972 was the first year that the engine code appeared in the VIN. An original U-code or V-code Cutlass is relatively rare, particularly with the original engine.

The car looks good in the pics. Depending on the body/frame etc that you can only see first hand. Is that a fold or bubbling in the roof pillar on the vinyl top in the top pic?

I'm going to go ahead and call it JUNK.
Somethin' weird is brewing with this one.
Seller, come clean on it's history or get lost.

I dunno. It looks pretty good to me. Sometimes people just don't know how to sell an old car. If this environment is the only place he's advertised, then it could hang around for a while. Local auto trader is the best way.

He tried to sell it in 2006 , then tried to ask if it is a good buy for him in 2007. Strange.

I thought he was posting his boss' car originally (Phil) then had a chance to buy it himself? Maybe? The real question is why was this thread bumped from March of 07 to now.LOL
