when you need a part, hard not to pay asking prices. Try the Recycler, although not a huge Olds market out in our area. Also, Hemmings online.

If you're looking for body panels I would say that whoever told you that your car's pieces are not interchangeable with a '72 or earlier car was absolutely right.

They're two completely different cars.

'73-'77 Olds Cutlass (I assume the same style as yours with it being the first year of this shape?) ~

And the previous generation, the '68-'72 Cutlass ~

I have always been a fan of the Cutty;s man.. but 68-72 was more my style.. I actually had cash in hand and a date to meet with a seller to buy a running 72 cutlass with a transplanted 396 in it.. He were set to meet an a Sunday and he called saturday sayin he just sold the car.. would have been my gas guzzlin dream project, bt No! it was sold... so I put my $3500 down on an 03 Monte Carlo SS.. 26.5mpg average ftw!

sorry for the story.. it just tells its self when I heard 70's cutlass... GLuck and post pics man

i wish this was my car my dad just switched jobs and for some reason when they racked this car in the shop idk what happened but the compressor shut off for some reason while goin up in the air well long story short the car fell from the air right on its nose so we are having to repair the car we found a whole complete car for 1800 dollars but the owner wants his repaired and im up to almost 1000 in just parts and im still missing a few things after paint and having the frame strecthed back out i think we are looking at 2500 dollars and a free ****** which totally sucks but accidents happen very reputable shop as well if anyone ever needs any ****** work done to their cars in so cal let me know
