Just wondering if anyone can tell me how rare a 1972 Cutlass 2 door POST
is. Have had a number of people trying to buy this car off me since I aquired it in a deal which I got the better end of! Am hearing that his is a really hard to find car. Just curious how many were made vs how many are likely left etc etc.

It appears to be a rare bird, as they made 78461 holiday HT's and only 4141 sports coupe's. I'd hold on to it, my '70 S it common as dirt compared to that

I was just going to trade it off for yet another Harley,,,but then it happened..I took it out for a drive.. So now its not forsale..and have thought of an electric fence to put around it so I dont have to yell "get the F*%k away from my car..and no it's not forsale. The car has not rust even in the deepest corners underneath, couple stone chips in hood. Rebuilding the transmission this week I hope before she goes away for the winter into storage. On the bad side, interior is beat up, need bench seat recovered and springs fixed if I cant find a replacement close, and need carpet and door panels. Regardless, I think I will just keep her and redo the interior and drive her..85000 orig miles

Also I noticed the grills are out of a 71 so am on the hunt for proper grills, a friend says he has so going to check on the condition

Once again, "rare" is not the same thing as "valuable". The post cars are rare now because few people wanted them when they were new. The post cars were usually a stripped loss-leader. Hardtops outsold them by very large margins because the look better. The post cars were usually turned into race cars because they were slightly lighter than the hardtops. How much it is worth to you is your call, but it seems that anyone trying to sell a post car thinks it's worth a million bucks because it's "rare". Just keep in mind that Pontiac Azteks are also rare...

Sounds like a nice car, how about posting some pics.

Good point, Joe. I remember reading an article a few years back, discussing that very issue. The example they gave was a 60's something full size chevy that was one of only 2! Now that is RARE. But it was 1 of only 2 equipped with a 4 cylinder engine, intended for taxi cab use. Even the cab companies didn't want it with a 4 cylinder.

That is not to slam your Cutlass, because it too can be a nice old car and give you many years of pleasurable driving. Enjoy it.

Very nice car, Redneck2k.

Those are 1972 grilles in the picture you posted. My '72 post coupe came with the same grilles.

Hahahahahah! I literally spewed soda through my nose.... Yeah Poncho Aztek - one of the ugliest offerings since the AMC Gremlin

RetroRanger

get ready to spew that soda again Allan, at a cruise in last nite there was a gremlin w a 401, i pointed it out to my kid who has seen all the "Cars" movies (the gremlins and pacers were the bad guys) and the response was yeah id like a car like that

steverw

Hey i would love to have a Gremlin or a Pacer
Or an 68 or 69 AMX

Don't knock the Gremlin. A 72 Gremlin X was my very first NEW vehicle purchase. Paid extra for the V8 instead of getting AC and automatic. Not the most powerful engine around but since there was no weight on the rear end I could smoke those tires all day long. ��

Ummm if you love it, who are we to suggest otherwise??
Now 68/69 AMX? that's a different story. It actually looks like the competition it was spoda provide the other big 3's performance offerings. They are extremely scarce, so good luck finding one. I do like that they were only a 2 seater with a big block.
