Hey guys. I've been lurking around here for a month or so. Just recently turned into an Olds fan. Been a Chevy/Pontiac guy my whole life.

I have been looking for a driveable project car for semi cheap, which I'm starting to think doesn't exist anymore, and came across a few 70-71 Cutlass Supremes that look like they could be fun. I was origionally looking at some 79 Trans Ams but I like that you never see many Olds' around. I think it'd be nice to be different.

My current fun car is an 06 Z06 which is a blast but I'd also like something from the muscle car era. Sorry for rambling but thought I should say hi.

Welcome, an Olds is probably the best value for the buck compared to it's Chevy or Pontiac counterpart. There are some real deals out there, and parts for most are reasonable rather plentiful. Good luck with your quest.

I'm defintely noticing there are some good deals out there. I have noticed there are also a lot of donk'd out Cutlass's. What's up with that? Lol.

oldcutlass

There are a lot of donked out other cars too.

sublime1996525

You do have a point.

Welcome.
The chase is a lot of fun, good luck finding what you want.

OLD SKL 69

Welcome to CO! Glad to have another convert.

sublime1996525

I'm glad to be here. Seriously hoping I can find something. Quick question for you guys. Where would I post a what's it worth question?

Welcome to our site. IF you have questions regarding the worth of a car feel free to start a thread in the General Discussion forum or appropriate car forum (ie. Cutlass, 98/88, Pre War Oldsmobiles). Please post a link to the advertisment for the car your looking at. Be aware though that it is difficult to determine the value of a car without actually seeing it. We'll at least try to point out pros and cons of the car and give you a ball park figure.

FWIW, here is a link to a 75 Cutlass in Western Slope:

I don't know what your budget is but I also saw a pristine 72 Cutlass convertible for sale in Salt Lake for 16k:

IMHO, the 75 would be a fun project, while the 72 you could jump in and drive anywhere. Here's one more for you to consider:

Thanks man! I'll take a look at those links when I can get on a computer where the links aren't blocked.

sublime1996525

That 75 is kind of cool but the 72 is more my style. Just a bit out of my range. I might still go check it out though. Thanks man!!

Olds64

Let us know about any cars you look at.

sublime1996525

I will definitely let you know.

Welcome !

What part of Utah are you from ? I am in kearns and not sure what your looking for but there is a convert 67 delta no drive train I can point you to if I interested

alek72us

Yeah let us know what your looking for or what you want. I'm in utah also out in tooele. i have a 72 olds cutlass with a 403, automatic, a/c, bench car. for 1000$ if interested.

gear head

There's a few 442's listed on ksl. One looks to be a pretty clean 65 for $14,900. Good luck with the search, I had to go out of state for mine.

oldstata

I was told the 65 was sold but I think he is having a hard time letting go !

gear head

I don't blame him, the thing looks way clean and original owner/61,000 miles to boot.

I wish he would have priced it this low 2 months ago, I would have picked it up but, at that time he had it listed at near 50k.

oldstata

If you still have this in April we need to talk

sublime1996525

I might definitely be interested. I work out in Stansbury. PM sent.

sublime1996525

Thanks! I'm hoping to find something. I'm looking for a 70-72 Cutlass. Preferably in decent condition body wise, I hate body work, and ideally under $5k.
