Hey dudes,

Joined a few days back, and my account was finally activated. I will be getting a 1970 Cutlass for free from a buddy of mine. He bought 2 Cutlass, a 1969 and the 1970 for $2,500 from a guy on Craigslist in El Cajon , CA. Both cars run but one needs some serious body work on the roof. (The vinyl stored water and rusted thru) The 1969 has a built motor with over 400hp (What the seller claims) and the 1970 has the stock engine. I am new to these cars but have really fell in love with their looks. If you guys can point me in the right direction as to getting interior and exterior parts to restore these cars that would be great!!! I'll post some pics as soon as the cars are delivered to the house.

 

Welcome aboard

I would venture to guess that most of us prefer Fusick's over all the other parts suppliers. They're a great bunch of knowledgeable guys who know their Oldsmobiles.

Glad you joined up.

 

Welcome to the site! Sounds like the price was right for the car your getting! Post some pictures when you get a chance. John

 

X2 on Fusicks for parts. they do a good job getting the right parts to you relatively quickly

 

Welcome to CO.

 

Welcome!! These guys will steer you in the right direction!

 

Sounds like you got a good deal although fixing a rusted roof is a tough job. Good news is there are several guys here to help you out. Post some pictures soon

 

What the crap?!?!? My friend John left the deposit for the cars last Saturday, and yesterday we went to pick them up and the dude had sold them!!! Arrgh!!! I am so pissed off right now......damn it!! I really wanted it too...

 

What if he left a deposit to hold the cars then maybe I would threaten him with a lawsuit probably got a better deal so he sold them out from under your buddy.

 

Did your friend at least get his deposit back?

 

Nope, he left a 300 deposit and the guy is BS'in saying he can't pay back or some crap like that....I think he is trying to take him to court or something....Guess I ought to look through your Cars For Sale section.......

 

Time to call a lawyer...

 

Dis is when you need dem boys from the hood to collect the money

 

Sound like a craig list scam. In a week or 2 his buddy will have the same cars for sale in a different city.

 

I thought it sounded a bit suspect too... Well, thanks for the input guys...

 

Do not despair. Find yourselves another Oldsmobile and get it on!
