My 1972 442

Last year I purchased my second cutlass (first one 1971 Cutlass S, RIP). It is a 1972 Olds Cutlass S 442. It is in fair condition. It didn't run when i bought it, tires were rotten, no brakes and was home to somewhere between 1 and 1,000,000 mice and rats. I have since got it running, cleaned the interior and put 40 miles on it before the snow hit last year.

No plans for serious restoration, just slow fix up for a sunny day driver.

Also attached is a few pix....i've read how much you guys/galz like pix.

That was the plan for my car 25 years ago. I just wanted it to all be the same color (had body color + 3 colors of primer for a few years) and be nice enough for a daily driver. I like show cars but some cars are just too nice to drive and enjoy.

Welcome, I think a lot of cars start out that way and then the maw's start to filter in. Pretty soon, $11, 12, 13k later.


Thanks for the pictures, very nice start.
