Hi,i have looked for a 1970 Cutlass convertible for a while now but i really would like to have Power windows.

Can i buy everything that needs for a conversion from manual to Power windows ?

Original Parts Group (www.opgi.com) has a kit complete with regulators, motors, wiring and switches listed for $1035. Check it out!
Just noticed where you are from,so you may not be familiar with Original Parts Group, but they are a very well respected supplier of parts for classic American cars here in the U.S. Larry (Rocketowner)

OPGI has poor customer service, and is only a re-seller of parts.

I would look elsewhere.

Sorry , first I've heard of this. I know several that have ordered from them without problems,and they recommend them highly. Larry

They aren't that bad to deal with.

Thanks Eric,they must be doing something right.They started in business in 1982 in a 2 car garage and have since moved up to a 130,000 s.f. Warehouse,and this November won"Business of the Year" at SEMA, awarded by Automotive Restoration Market Organization.

reproduction power window stuff is really junk, unless theres something brand new released recently..people talk about spending a bunch of money,they work for a bit and eat themselves

since Bill Merrick died i dont know who to send you to, but id try to buy GM stuff, original stuff.

you are lucky doing a 70 you have a lot of cars to choose from.

70 to 72 A-body are the same across the line...

68 and 69 the rear regulators work 68-72

on 68 and 69 the fronts are unique to those years

70-72 monte carlo work too

70-72 grand prix work too

1970 caddilac 2 door..believe it or not the front regs are the same in eldo's and coupe devilles as a-body cars

also in 68-72 there are no "convertible" power windows..like some shady sellers claim...hardtop and convertible interchange...so its not like the earlier cars where convert stuff brings apremium

while i'm here...68-72 elcamino power windows work for 68 a-bodys front

Thanks Mark.Yes i looking for a car with original power windows.But these are hard to find in Sweden so I may choose another model of convertible.

I had own convertibles before with manual windows and said to my self that if i should buy one again it must have pw.

I'm going this route on my 71.. I have several friends who have used their products and have had no problems and the quality is there.....
