1972 Cutlass Supreme with factory 455

And if you find a car with AC it doesn't mean you won't spend more money than you care to on getting it fixed. This time of year, most northern cars "feel" like they are blowing cool air. Different story in 95 degree with 90% humidity midwest summer air

KVP if your looking for a nice original ac car I found this 70 on Detroit craigslist. I don't know the car but it is close to me and I could look at it for you. Just let me know

wow, very nice . A decent amount of money but looks like it is in great condition. I'm always hesitant to believe "only 33k original miles" but look at that interior, it looks mint - I'm inclined to believe this car has never rolled over 100k. If in the market it would be a great car
It also has the rare 350 rocket FIRE engine in it.

I think so too! Plus from reading the posters thread I believe it meets his critera as well.
The seller must be a chevy guy with those turbo fire engines.

Yep, as it's a '70 Supreme, the std. engine would be the 350/310hp, with the 10.25 compression, as it is the 4bbl (air cleaner), we know that it is not the 250hp low compression optional engine.

Sent a response to your PM. Appreciate your thoughtful, generous offer. The car looks like a real possibility. Let me know if you don't get the PM response. Thanks.

Compare Baroque Gold (which ironically looks more green) in 1972. Not a color that a lot of folks liked then or even today, and no record of how many were produced. I've seen several but that doesn't mean rare or common. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of cars have been repainted from their birth colors to more popular shades preferred by the owner. My 72 is an excellent example. It was code 14 (not rare). Now it's Corvette Silver, which I think is a far nicer shade.
The cars that survive today in their original colors and trim (cowl tag data) IMO are more 'rare' by comparison.

Yes, I do indeed. I am now the owner of a low mileage, original Olds Cutlass Supreme with burgundy mist paint, black vinyl roof and the requisite AC. JpMotorsports was instrumental in the process. He located the car, test drove it and gave me a detailed evaluation. Based on this, I negotiated a tentative price and arranged to see the car in person The car was as presented and the purchase was completed. If you need some one to put eyes on a car in SE MI, John would serve you well. I'm really appreciative to John for his efforts. I'll need a sunny day and some education on picture posting before I can put pics up.

No, I said it wasn't 'rare', as stated by the seller. Maybe you interpret that to be common, IDK? Since there are no records to prove one way or another the number of cars produced with that standard offering on the color palette, neither you or myself can prove or disprove 'rare' or 'common'.
