I had a "71 Cutlass SX convertible several years ago. Mine started life as a GM test car. I had all the paperwork from its GM "test" days so that was a plus. It was built in Michigan and shipped to the Arlington, TX plant. When they were done with it, it was sold as a used car out of an Olds dealership in Dallas, TX. I miss that car. It's still the home page pic on my iPad. There is a club for these cars. Just search SX455 and you will see it. Keep 'em Up-N-Runnin!!!
Holy ish you got a deal on that car any classic with that shape that fastback look is one of my dream classics a 71 chevelle would be a dream but that cutlass is just as good congrats
First, nice car, you got a hell of a deal. It's not a 71, that's a 1970. The trim you pulled out of the trunk is the horn button for the original steering wheel. You should check the block casting number to verify that is really a 455. Good luck with your build.

I’m going to be doing a full build on it and have it back on the road!
Perfect winter car
Right, it would be a beast
$2500 is crazy and a Donk is a 71-76 Chevy Caprice or impala
Yeah, I ended up getting pretty good deal on it.

Off-road cutlass
It has a ton of ground clearance
Whats the scoop on that maverick ya got in the garage behind you….im not much for fords but i make an exception for old fords, especailly mavericks
I restored it over the last year. There is a playlist on the channel about it with more to come on it soon.
Alot of old cars didnt come with passenger mirrior…..typically you only need 2 mirriors to be street legal….driver door and interior or both doors
good to know, thanks
An oldsmobile cant be a donk....somebody slabbed it out is the proper terminology....cool video though
Thanks
