I picked this one up today. all complete, and it ran good when parked years ago. I'm not real sure what I will do with it, but she is pretty solid. 350 2bbl car with over 100,000 I am quite sure.

 

here is two more

 

Nice. Does she run?

 

With some work, like cleaning the old fuel out of it, carb kit, oil change........

 

Very nice. Looks like all sorts of potential there.
Cheers, Mike

 

It looks pretty good on the inside,
and fairly straight on the out.
With a 2 bbl. a daily driver?

 

It sure wouldn't take much at all. She needs wheels.

 

Yes, a nice daily driver at that, new bumpers, grills , paint....just keep it simple.

 

Great find! That's a really nice looking car.

 

Looks like a really solid car. I'd probably fix it up a bit & drive it. Looks like it has some nice options on it.

 

Nice find.

 

Be wary of the MAWs. Nice score also.

 

LOL That's how my orange one got started, and it is still not done.

 

Thank you, it took some doing. I never would have got it done with out the help of a good friend.

 

The rear defrost is something I have never had on one.

 

Thank you, I think it had one repaint over the years.

 

Looks pretty solid, I agree it would make a nice DD.

 

Lol drive it and use it as a reference to put the 442 back together as long as it has been apart. Seriously though this car is untouched as far as I can tell, hell the am fm is still in it.

 

This will give you something to drive while you work on the other. Congrats

 

Thank you. I think it has been about 20 years now sense I have driven one of 70 to 72 cutlasses or 442's so this should be fun.

 

Great one get the ok girl running
And enjoy !!!

 

Nice find. That dash, the goodies in it and especially those door panels look excellent. Any progress on the 442?

 

Amazing how sexy those Old Lady cars look now!

 

Thank you I agree.

 

I know, man this dash is perfect !
I have played with the 442 some, fender and hood alignment... I am waiting for my bumpers to get done right now then I can finish the panel alignments. Thanks for asking.

 

I will be moving it this Sunday to my shop, then I will play with it.

 

If you can't be drive the one love drive the one you're with!

 

We really need to get together sometime with some of the other local CO guys. Who is doing your bumpers? I was going to use DC bumper again, but might want something a little better for the W-30.

 

I agree, we will need to meet for lunch one day, or a garage party. LOL
I am using Morales Plating 1033 Everett Drive Terrell TX 75160 972 524 3966
Wait till I get mine back so you can see their work.

 

Nice find! Earl is out...

 

39,288 on the speedo? Thats all original and it was only driven to church on Sundays. Right?!?!

 

I wish, but I am quite sure it has rolled over from the looks of the brake pedal.

 

Just a update on the 72. I have the roof for her now, and got the car started up today. there was a bunch of rust that came out of the exhaust tail pipe, but she cleared out and ran fine. I did have to replace the fan clutch, it was about to go threw the hood it was so loose. I have one lifter that wont quiet down, but that is a easy fix.
One thing I am worried about is the timing chain and gear, the engine doesn't look like it has ever been apart.

 

When in doubt, change it out!

 

Congrats on the find. You never know about the brake pedal wear....you know those old ladies like to ride it!

 

You can rotate the crank back and forth and watch how far the rotor moves.

 

True, but there is a lot of ware on the pedal . I don't think one could put that kind of ware on it in less then 50,000 miles. But if it was all in town,
Who knows.

 

Thanks Eric , I will give that a try.
I have been told you can see the timing mark move back and forth with the timing light if the chain and gear has slop in it.

 

I'm going to check it out. I hope I don't have to change it out. Lol , but you are right. If I find much slack in it at all, then it will be changed.

 

Looks better than what I'm working with! Nice find.
