It tears me up that I can't make this Cutlass S Sport Coupe work. But I can recover. Gorgeous.

‘72 Cutlass S Sport Coupe. 350 V8 (2 BBL). Apparently runs and drives well in great shape. Only real aesthetic issues I can see is a bit of rust-drip on the rear bumper and some little coin-sized ugly spots in all the usual areas. But as a whole, appears to be amazing. Listing below (not sure how long it will last):

This car brings back memories. My aunt bought a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme brand new and has owned it ever since. She used it as her primary car until a bit after my uncle died and she bought a new pickup. Last I checked, it was still in running order and completely original. The wonder of garaged cars in SoCal - they last almost forever. The car was pretty much only driven on highway trips to the children/nieces/nephews, since she lives in the middle of everything and rarely needed the car (very rare in Los Angeles). If memory serves, it had really low miles when we went to a family Christmas party in it in 2012... Still ran great, too. I feel like putting alcohol blended fuel in that car is a tragedy.

This is at the outside edge of that period where the designs were good. Right before the bumpers got ugly and after they got over that awkward phase in the earlier 60s.

A lot of style for roughly 5500 Murkabucks.
