so i had my '71 Cutty for 3 years now and im ready to start making it mine. i want to put better suspension on her repaint and maybe super charge her but still on pump gas. im 29 years old in the military U.S. Marine who is about to get out. i enjoy going to car shows and driving my baby around on the weekends when there are shows. she has a 455 with a TH400 with shift kit

 

Welcome, thank you for your service. If that's a picture of your car, looks to be very nice.

 

thank you that is her when she was stored at my family's house in PA the clear coat started to bubble so now shes more of a 20 footer

 

Welcome to CO! Thanks for protecting us, and all your years of service. Nice to see another 71.

 

Welcome !!! Now I love that supream with that hood it's to bad they never made a hard top supream 442 !!

And Thank you for your service !! Semper Fi

 

yeah i couldnt afford a 442 with the 455 so i got the next best thing. i think she looks sexy as hell and she is my current steping stone to a 69 trans am convertible

 

Welcome aboard Marine!

Well even at closer than 20' she still looks just great. I like your first pic better - always nice to have a pretty girl next to the car to emphasize 'fine lookin'.

There's lots of options to upgrade performance without supercharging the car yet. What are the overall plans for paint color/wheels/mods? BTW, is the OAI hood OEM or aftermarket? One thing - just my opinion though - the wing on the CS just looks wrong, and was not offered on the 71 CS from the factory. Adding it was likely a PO's decision.

Do you know any of the history on the car?

 

i want to get aluminum heads, maybe go EFI with FAST so it still looks carbed,i would like to put it on air bags and bigger brake kit. as for the way it looks right now i bought it that way when i was in cali. the guy who restored it filled in the side lights and all the holes for the chrome accents. she does have a/c, power steering, power brakes, bored .030 over forged internals, billet aluminum pulleys and brackets a becool 3" thick radiator. it has a nice sound system. i want to paint her white with light flake and the white stripes will be gold with heavier flake. i love taking her to car shows and the performance just to put the little 4 banging ricers were they belong in the back of the bus!
