New Purchase 1973 Cutlass S

[geowindow6768]

I picked up this '73 S from Calgary AB last week. I shouldn't have but It needed a new home and I still have some room on "the lot".
Does it look familiar Dave?
It needs a front clip and bumper. It needs some work done on the floors. The a/c unit is missing.
The positives? It has the vista roof, the SSII's, the sport steering wheel and the hood is still in good shape.
Are the fenders the same as the '74 & '75 (aside from the marker light holes)?

The vista vent and dent on the rear quarter.

Nice find. Yes the fenders are the same other then the marker light.

I've seen that for sale on line thought it was Daves old one but it must be a twin.

Yes that is my old car. I sold it to the guy you bought it from when I bought the 73 4 speed Supreme in MT a year later. That Supreme is now also in Edmonton. I know all about the accident. That car can be saved but it is more work than I wanted to tackle. Glad someone is going to save it. Redone it will be a very nice car. DON'T change the color....redone it is awesome.

The car is NOT missing the a/c parts. It NEVER had A/C. Sport wheel & sport mirrors are original. When I sold it it had 14 x 7" SS 111s on it with decent tires. I can not remember if I added a rear sway bar to that car or not but if not that is a real easy upgrade.

I have a rust free driver's side fender from a 1973 442 that you will need to fix this car. Don't waste your time using a 74/75 fender when I have a straight rust free 73 version.

I also have a 3.42 posi from a 1973 LeMans 4 speed car that I tentatively have sold. If he passes you should buy it. Your car has a 2.73 open in it. If he takes the diff I still have a set of 3.23 gears from the 73 4 speed car that I parted out years ago that the fender came from.

PM me if you want to know the history on your car. I did a lot of work to it. I did NOT put those swivels in it. I wish the previous owner would have left it as a bench seat car. The Vista Vent was the coolest part.

Gee Dave I would say it was the same car you had I guess the damage to it makes it look bad. If your looking for some small parts I'm going to be parting out a 73 Supreme soon.
