New to the forum and looking for info

Hi everyone, Ron here. Bought this 77 Cutlass Brougham with about 26K miles on it about 8 years ago for my son to drive when he was 16. He drove it for a few years before going to college and it's been sitting in my garage ever since. Now it's time to fix a few things before moving it over to his own garage. I finally will get my spot back for my own vehicle. I had one when I was 16 and loved driving it. I am hoping to get some good info on where to get parts and etc.

Nice cars. Nice ride too. Mother had a 76 S with 350/350. Silver with a red swivel bucket gut. I wrapped it around 2 trees, not hard just sheet metal, icy road young driver..... It was fixed correctly and she drove it for several years after. Then she had a 79 and an 81 both toilets. Back bumper falling off of your yet?
Well versed on the 76-77s so ask away as they are very similar. Lets forget they even made a 78 yyyyuk!

Nope rear bumper is fine except for rubber trim is coming off. Victim of a failed exhaust pipe that heated up the rubber clips. This one has been garaged for as long as I know of. Actually bought it from a guy in a small town that got it from a little old lady that only drove it around that town to the grocery store and church. He bought it for his grandson then decided that maybe it was too much car for him. It's going to need some body work eventually as my son drove it year round until he went to college.

Nice 77 , I will try to help you out as much as I can. I have owned my 76 for several years now . I have replaced many parts along with a few performance parts. I continue to add a few things each year.
The rear bumpers for our cars are the most difficult to find , I see you mentioned your's was in great shape.
Looking forward to hearing more about what you plan on doing with your 77
Cheers
Eric

Welcome to CO. I inherited one of those back in the 80's, from my mother, white with red interior. Unfortunately it was total dog :-( It had the V6 and an AM radio in it. Mom bought the V6 because it got good mileage to/from work. When it came to me, I had a very young family. When the car started having engine issues, get this - it was easier for me to buy a new car with monthly payments than to come up with the money to repair Mom's/mine. I got $50 for it from an auto reclaimer. Man, if I had it now, I'd drop my spare 455 into it and have some fun!

The one I had when I was 16 had the Buick 231 V6 in it. It was actually a good strong engine from what I was always told. Good for building, not so good in that heavy car. I was told it was the engine used in the Grand National. I'm not sure. When mine started having issues, Dad and I pulled it out and dropped a SB 400 Chevy in it out of his station wagon. That car was a blast until it ate a station wagon head on in an ice storm.
