hey guys, I just got a 1972 cutlass. I was wondering if anyone could break this down for me because I’m having a hard time.

thanks in advance!

ST72 = 1972 model year
33287 = Oldsmobile (3) Cutlass (32) Hardtop Coupe (87)
R = Arlington, TX assembly plant
05932 BDY = Fisher Body sequence number
TR 917 = white bench seat interior
A52 = bench seat RPO code
65 A = Blaze Orange Poly (65) lower body color with white (A) vinyl top

I have pictures of the engine. Of course it has C heads. The fire was definitely not fuel related. From looking at the car and under the hood. I would say the fire was either electrical or power steering related. The cooling fan has some broken blades. The hood hinge springs were also missing. That’s why I couldn’t raise the hood any higher.

I would guess the water pump is toast. Be sure to get accurate length when ordering the new one. That color combo sounds AMAZING.
