This is an excellent buy for a restorer, it appears that just about everything is hear for this car. This Cutlass was a Katrina victim and when I saw it at the insurance flood lot and seen two fold out chairs and picture books in the trunk of the car, I new this was some ones show car. It has what appears to be the original aluminum V-8. I don't know much about this car but it looks good, and all it needs is for some one to rebuild it again. You probably won't have to look for parts because this car appears to be all hear. Now there is some damage like dents scratches and some rust but nothing for a gear head. If you have any questions please call.
