Welcome!

Fusick has the finest reputation, and a wide variety of parts, but they ain't cheap.

Most of what you need, you can find at the corner auto parts store, and a lot of the stuff you can't find, such as trim, will be very hard to find anywhere, as there isn't much demand for most post-'72 stuff.

This forum right here will be your best bet for a lot of things.

Get everything possible from Fusick.If they don't have it,get it from The Parts Place.
You just have to keep an eye on shipping charges with The Parts Place.Sometimes they have a part listed cheaper,but they tend to overcharge on shipping.I've had to follow-up up on that numerous times,and get them to refund the difference.

Also try Year One and Tamrazs parts. I've dealt with both with no problems. Fusicks is the best though!

Supercars Unlimited.

finding stuff for the 73-77 years is a bit harder though than the 64-72s

If not at the local parts stores (Napa, AutoZone, O'Reilly), I buy almost everything from RockAuto.com. They generally beat the local prices, even after adding in shipping.

For example, I just got an electric engine fan from them for my sister-in-laws Jeep GC, $96 shipped vs. $190+tax at AutoZone, exact same brand/model #.

How about an ASSEMBLY MANUAL ?

right now I'm trying to build a supplier list so when I do need stuff I don't have to waste time hunting stuff down.
Thanks Guys,

Hello,
Sorry, but I don't sell any literature. I have a good-sized inventory of NOS GM parts, including some for the 1973 Cutlass. I sell my parts from my website, www.nospartsfromthepast.com . The parts are divided by GM division on the website. My entire inventory is listed there, with nothing held back. If you visit the site, you can click on any of the Oldsmobile links to take you to the Olds inventory list. Please read the first page of the list for important information. You can email me from the addresses listed on the site if you have questions or find items of interest to you.
Regards,
Olmanwinter

Welcome and hope to get a peek at your car!
Fusicks is the best, Parts place, SuperCar unlimited, SS classics and the obviouse EvilBay for the non reproduced parts along with your local auto store for maintenance parts. Literature is easily found at EvilBay also.....
73-77 owners do not have the luxury of having mass produced parts like the remaining Oldsmobile feild yet unfortunately.
Got Pictures?

I've bought some parts from oldmanwinter. He is a nice person to deal with and at least on the parts I bought from him more than fair with his prices.

Dash Bezel

I could use a center section Dash Bezel (with climate controls preferably) for starters if any one knows where I can find one.
The body is reasonable but the wiring has been haced to bit and rigged beyond believe.
I found a Tilt steering Column on a buick site and got it in (basically today) along with new door locks and I have the matching ign tumbler for the column.
Thanks again

I would also watch very closely on "normal" parts that you can get at a typical parts store. I bought a trans mount from them. The price was $27+ shipping. I was beside myself when I got the part. It was an Anchor brand item which would cost about $12 at autozone. For that price, I expected better. I called them to give them a piece of my mind, but they didn't care. They told me they don't have any control over prices and if I wanted to return it, I would have to pay shipping. Pathetic.

Don't buy from them unless you have to.
