1972 Cutlass Sport Coupe
I bought this at the end of May, but only got it out for the first time this week, and to the first cruise night with it, last night.
It is a 1972 Cutlass S Sport Coupe. Originally 350 2bbl. The 2bbl was literally broken. So I replaced the intake with a performer, and the 2bbl with a quadrajet. It was the first time I did an intake or carb swap.
The rims were originally green, but repainted them argent.
Guess how much time I spent in the swap area at the OCA Nationals.
And I found out an a-body dash will fit in the trunk of the Delta.
It isn't pretty, but it is a southern car, and has no rust. Which to a Canadian, is REALLY important. It will need paint and interior.
If this is in the wrong forum, let me know. I wasn't sure if I should put it here, or in the Cutlass forum.

Thanks for "Post"ing your Post. 
It brings back a lot of memories. My first car was a '72 Cutlass Sports Coupe with 350 2 bbl, except mine was green with plenty of rust and dents. It was a great car and ran forever. I predict you will grow very fond of yours.

My Cutlass convertible is not ready for the road this year - just brought it home from a barn in Kemptville. I am close to the Race Track show on Wed. Looking to have the car ready to drive in the spring. Trans needs to be rebuilt, and needs a new top- and a few other things for the road. Yours looks in good shape - do you have a lot to do?
What are your plans for the red Rocket?

Nice post coupe, I have a 70 post coupe also. Don't see too many. Like you I was lucky enough to find a rust free southern car and bought it on the spot, It had an OK paint job which was re done after a few years. Have you shecked the trunk area for leaks? double lucky if it doesn't have any.
