Maybe one day.

Hi everyone.

I was introduced to the Cutlass model when I was 17. My friends dad had a 72 Supreme, and we did a trip from Woodstock, On to Reading PA and boy I loved it.

My first true car was a 75 Cutlass S my dad bought me when I was 18 to teach me money management and loans. It was 2000$ CAD and I got that car in 1980. It had the 350 blue block.
Jump to 1981-82 and I sold it and bought my girlfriend's dad's 71 Goldblock in Orange/White, that thing was insanely fast. Raced it on the Conestoga Expressway against my buddies new 82 Z28.
I then got a 70 Cutlass S for 800$.

They are now long gone but once my business grows a bit more I will definitely be looking at a project car. 68-72 are my years Ill look at.
We have a local guy that has allot of blocks, heads and intakes so a roller would work great.

I need to make a friend with a garage space.

Cheers,
William

I'd say those are good years to look for a project car as many parts currently remain available for those years. Working (garage) space w/ a hydraulic floor jack & four (minimum) jack stands are the way to go. Might consider four wheel/tire dollies if your budget allows. Good Luck and welcome to the asylum.
