New 72 Cutlass Owner

Hello everyone, I picked up a 72 Cutlass yesterday as a parts car for my chevelle (needed the frame), but after I got the car home and cleaned up, running and checking a few pictures of these things fixed up. They are pretty sweet. The one I picked up was a southern car with about 80k miles and hardly has any rust on it anywhere for $750. It's a little beat up from the current owner but it has a lot of potential I think? It has a 350 in it with bucket seats and console. Is this a fairly common option? Here are a few pictures of it.






What do you guys think?

Welcome. Definitely well worth the money. The base configuration for the Supreme that year was a 350 4bbl, bucket seats, and a console. The bench seat was an option.

Where are you located?

I have had two 72 Supremes (both convertibles) and never knew that. Was that one of those options where you got a credit? I would think so.

Thanks! I live in the Mid-Ohio Valley right one West Virginia/Ohio boarder. As far as I can tell the car has 350 2bbl. I have the number on the front of the block but I haven't ran them yet. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I'll may go ahead and just swap the frame out with the one that's on my chevelle and have the other one straightened and fix this thing up or something cause I do like it. I hate to leave it sit outside but I don't have enough room in my garage to store one and do a restoration on the other.

Here is a pic of my chevelle as it sits now.



Here is it right before I started the restoration

Welcome to the site. I recognized the historic Ohio plates. You have 2 of my favorite muscle cars as projects. Good luck!
