This baby needs more money than a broke 23 year old can throw at it but I’ll drive her the way she is any day. (More reliable than my 98 jeep lol) shoutout to my dad for having the expertise to make this possible.

I learned to drive on my dad's 72 cutlass supreme in the early 2000's. He lost his job for a while and when he got a new one, he worked so much overtime he totaled his commuter truck coming home from a 12 hour shift. He then had to drive the cutlass to work and a few months later the timing chain broke and grenaded the motor. He had to sell it to buy a new truck to take to work. Every time I see a white 70-72 cutlass I'm reminded of his sacrifice to keep his family going, and if I could ever afford to get him another nice one I'd do it in a heartbeat. Keep it alive and treasure that you have a dad that helps you keep it going.

Sweet car young fella! Prioritize the mechanicals over cosmetics.

Keep it running and fix it over time. That car is too cool to sit and wait until it's "perfect".

Trust me she gets plenty of road time lol, just in desperate need of a paint job and probably a quarter panel.

I love this body style, best looking cutlass imo

I do kinda like some of the 80s ones for what they are but yeah, the 70-72 is just smooth
