This is an extremely solid '78 Cutlass Calais with white vinyl interior all original 260 V8. Frame perfect. Listed near Pottstown PA for $4,000. I would have to reupholster the doors and the gentleman threw out the headliner. I've been looking for something to swap a 4.8 into. This car would probably go for $2,500; guy told me to make an offer. Fiberglass Hood and apparently most of the options of 442. Rust on the quarter aft of the wheels, not through sheet metal - probably a legit instance where Bondo would be perfect. I walked away - the vinyl hasn't aged well. What would you have done if you had money in hand looking at this car?

Didn't get better pictures because I had already told the guy I was going to pass.

Needs to be towed; current owner doesn't want to bother finding the vacuum leak... has 10 other cars in various states.
