72 Cutlass S

Just bought my 15 year old son a running and driving 72 Cutlass S as a father son project . Was really surprised how excited he was when he saw it . He has seen pics of the 70 442 I had years ago and wants to make this one look like the one I had . Couldn't be happier !

That car looks great! I don't blame him for being excited. My dad found my '72 cutlass S for me when I was about your sons age. I remeber rounding a corner and seeing it in the middle of the sellers driveway and have loved these ever since. Have fun with it!

Plan for now is rims,tires and interior . After he gets some miles under his belt we will do the body . He says he wants it to be a mustang killer when complete so we will have some work ahead of us

Welcome to CO! Glad to hear your son loves old cars, hope I'm that lucky when my little guy is old enough to drive.
