If it aint a 442, it's your father's Oldsmobile. No one shops for an old Cutlass unless you owned one in a previous life.
Same suspension, gutless, even after a complete rebuild. Same with steering, vague, even with suspension upgrades. My son and I went through his 70 cutlass and changed virtually all steering and suspension with the "new and improve" stuff and it still sucked. All 442 means is four barrel, four speed and dual exhaust (442), a formidable car, but still a 350 IIRC.

I think he's looking at a "Chevelle" not a "Chevelle SS 396" which is a very different animal.

BTW, I'd look very, very closely at the vinyl roof. Most these days have lots and lots of rust.
