Greetings and salutations fellow Oldsmobile fans!!! I have recently purchased(from the original owner) a 1973 Cutlass S. The car is pretty rare I would believe. The options include 350 Rocket, 4speed, 373 posi, NO console, swivel buckets, no a/c. This car was ordered by the original owner in 1972 from Collins oldsmobile here in Ft. Wayne were he worked as a mechanic. I know there are more 4spd. 73's out there but this is the first one I have ever seen. The car is in what I would call poor shape but it has enough good with it that I think I am going to restore the car. I am looking for some parts and will post pics of what I need to find. I really like the second generation GM A bodied cars, I currently own a 73 Chevelle and a 74 Monte as well. I look forward to working on the Cutlass and any help/ input You can give me. My first question is how rare is it to have a 4spd 73 Cutlass?

 

I am by no means trying to drive you away from this site, but there is another Olds forum that, if you don't already know about, you ought to check out. It's the '73-'77 Olds forum.

Those guys know the A-body cars of your era like the backs of their hands, so they'll be a great help in getting advice and finding parts. The post-'72 era of Cutlasses is not supported in the aftermarket the way the '72 and earliers are, so a good network of knowledgeable people is a must.

So as I say, stay here, of course, and share your restoration with us. But check that other site out, too.

 

Hey 4spd I work with some of the guys from collins can you pm me the guys name and I'll ask the guys if they remember him we got several of the older guys at o'daniels when collins closed. and welcome to the site.
