New to the forum but I have owned my 1972 Cutlass Supreme since 1979. As you can tell by my sig, it's an original V code 455 4 speed car. I thought it was a strange combo when I bought it (especially with a bench seat), so I wrote Helen Early at Olds and she was kind enough to tell me it was one of 77 made that year. Strange indeed!

It had some period hot rod stuff on it when I bought it but I'm trying desperately to finish a long restoration. It's probably 85% of the way there. Need to get it running well, put the interior back together, hang the bumpers and have some fun. Keeping my fingers crossed.....

Greg

Hi Greg - Welcome to CO!

All, Greg was instrumental when I started the V Code Registry site years ago. He was the one who provided the initial production figures for V Code Supreme hardtops as well as a lot of the tech info.

Here's a link to pics of Greg's car in progress. I think these are several years old now Greg. Need some new pics. ; )
