Hello All,
I have always loved cars and in February 2011 I bought my first muscle car, a 72 Cutlass S. My first car was a 1983 Olds Cutlass, and I have always loved the GM A-body platform, so I thought this was a fitting choice. The car currently has a Rocket 350 and I plan to refresh and add power. If I had to categorize my build goals for the car it would be pro-touring.

Here is a pic of the car outside the 2011 Good Guys Show in Columbus, OH.

Welcome to C.O.! Very nice car. There are at least 2 others on this site with the same color. Looks like someone did a patch panel on the r.s. fender and didn't quite match the paint.

So, more about the car and your plans? BTW I also have a 72 Cutlass S and wouldn't trade it for the world. It's a fabulous car to drive and has a wonderful ride that even new Cadillacs envy.

 

Welcome C.O. forums!

Thanks for posting a pic it's rare for newbies! BTW every Saturday before Fathers day the Oldsmobile Homecoming show In Dimondale Mi. Usually attracts around 500 Oldsmobiles and very large swap area.

Regards, Pat

 

Welcome to the site nice Cutlass..

 

Thanks for the welcome. The car looks decent. The clear coat is peeling, therl driver's door has quite a bit of filler.

The 350 has a 307 A5 intake, Holley 750 double pumper, headers, and Magnaflow dual exhaust. I have a rebuilt q-jet and O.E. 4 bll intake to install. I am thinking Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, flat top pistons, mild can, and possibly head work. I will go with a more modern suspension, updated interior 18 inch wheels, with 442 grill and hood.

I would love to make the trip to Olds homecoming.
