CRUZN 66

$9,999..... I've seen parts cars in much better condition and for a lot less money..... BUT, it doesn't hurt to ask.... there may be someone out there who just might be willing to pay the price for a "1 of 1"..............

i have a friend with one..its an early car..the option was dropped early in the year..its a 455 2bbl with a 400 turbo..pretty loaded too...

he even found a dealerhip memo that talked about it..and the date i was going to be dropped. I think it coincides with the SX release..i cant remember, even though i read the memo

he plans a nut and bolt resto on it...because its so obscure....so theres at least 2 in the world

What will they drag out of the barn next....im hoping for a 76 vega with a factory 454

Make that a 72

vette442

Factory equipped with some great options and paperwork too. I like it. I'd like it more at $6K or so....

the pic of the block shows the VIN and it matches...how cool is that?

i agree over priced...very few people would even spend that money and not get a 442..just my opinion

Here is a story to chew on!!I met a guy who sold me a u code 1972 supreme! Then he shows me a green and black vinyl top 70 cutlass with a his and hers shifter console bucket seat 455 boxed control arms posi rear notched rear bumper no radio had a delete plate. I said hey this looks like a 442 he said nope it is a 442 delete What i ask is that! He said look emblems holes are plugged with lead at fenders trunk lid and nose glove box door was blank He was right it was i scraped one of the plugs it was lead. He claimed it was done to get around insurance from the factory we couldn't come to terms on price! All i know that is a crazy story he told me where the car went to. I have no ideal because i went back six months later his trailer was gone and so was the car.

Pretty cool to find a Lansing build sheet.

That is a pretty tall tale. It seams not possible for DMV would be able to tell with the VIN number.
I told my insurance that I had a '68 Cutlass and the papers came back 442 by VIN number.

Why are some of you falling for the "1 of 1" thing? He's shown no docs to support it, never mind it's just a generic tool used by hucksters.

It's just an unusual Cutlass S. Kinda a neat car in many ways. I just looked up numbers from docs from the GM Heritage Center and it suggests +/- 1000 Cutlass Ss were built with the L33.

Was there a pic of a build sheet? All I saw was the window sticker and warranty booklet.

rtanner

dude, nobody cared about that in the 70s

As someone who had to pay for car insurance in the 1970s, I GUARANTEE you that the insurance companies cared about the VIN and whether the car was a 442 or a Cutlass. There was a considerable difference in the premiums.

Look again, there's an original window sticker.



^^^THIS! Obviously NO ONE has a clue as to how many cars were built this way. Just ignore that marketing crap - the "how to sell on ebay" presentations encourage crap like this. Far more important is that this is a well-optioned car with pretty good documentation. I can't say it's worth $10K as it sits, but it IS a pretty cool car.

I'll also point out that the seller kinda knows he's not getting $10K for the car. It's not an auction, it's a B.I.N. with a "Make an Offer" button.

Mikes442

A friend of mine owned this for years here in Columbus Nebraska. He had some problems and sold it for around $4500.00. The guy he sold it to is also a friend and he had some doctor bills and he lost money on the deal and now it's on ebay.


The first guy tried his hardest to find out some numbers but never could.

It's a cool car! But I sometimes get tired of the wild goose chase for the ultra rare find only to realize that it is either way over priced or isn't even the real thing, and still way over priced.
I wasted a day last week driving three hours to look at a rusted out SX Convertible. Let me tell you, it's hard remaining polite as someone tells you how rare the car is and how much it's worth restored when all you can see is a rusted out convertible sitting in the back woods of Alabama.
IMO: Sometimes it's just plain cheaper to buy a restored car at full retail price than it is to deal with dreamers and pretenders.

joe_padavano

Sometimes? It's ALWAYS cheaper to buy a car that's complete and done, especially if you put any value on your time at all. I don't do it for the profit. I do it because I enjoy building a car. I tell people I still build model cars, but now they are 1:1 scale.

A window sticker is not a build sheet...so to answer your question...no pic of a build sheet....unless I am missing something

drop top olds

Window sticker shows the VIN and that matches the sequence number on the block. This is as close as you can get and not have a build sheet. The window sticker appears to be legit by the font. But I am no "expert".

I assume the vin on the base of the windshield is the same, did not look for a picture though. Nice well optioned car with decent documentation in my opinion.

natedrag

Agreed. But most "done" cars are glossed over garbage. Buyer beware. I've learned to love original paint- faded, surfaced rusted, chalky HONEST paint. Better to spend more money and time on a project, that way, I know what I have.

And Joe's right, this a damn cool car. Plain post coupe, 455, Cutlass w/ window sticker?? That's f#$Kin awesome

BangScreech4-4-2

Agreed. Some people have a pretty weird concept of what constitutes a "done" car.
