New project followed me home

1972 U code Nordic blue Flat top wagon. Engine,trans and front clip stayed with prev. owner. I have 71 Vista that will donate some needed parts. Currently has a 71 350. May build up a 455 for it eventually. It will get 15's and poverty caps,probably 442 grills too. Interior is in good driver shape.

Plans are to drive it a bunch locally. My 3 kids are pretty active with sports. I think it'd be fun to cruise this to little league or my daughters archery practice.

Cool

I have never seen a U code Cutlass flat top wagon. I suspect that this is a fairly low production car.

Anyone have stats on production numbers for 455 powered flat top wagons?

Dave,
I can't imagine very many were made. A local Olds friend has a U code supreme project and I parted a U code S 2 years ago. Sadly it's data plate and vin were stolen. It had a numbers matching drivetrain too.


Chris,
The vista parts car has 4 15" steelies but I'll take your two if they are in the way. Just let me know when your brother has them.


Matt
