Default Quite a price discrepancy over this 1972 Olds Cutlass

The seller wants $68k for his 455 1972 Cutlass Supreme yet the offers have been around $10,000. What a spread! Which is right?? With work done on the engine, I'm leaning towards the offers to be honest, perhaps a bit higher. It's not a 442 so that figure he wants seems way too high.

Interesting car and pedigree, but I think an actual sale price of somewhere around 60% of the current ask is probably the upper limit for something like this. Might have to come down lower depending on how it actually looks/runs/drives in person. The swapped drivetrain and color change negate some of the original rarity, so breaking past $40k would be a tough sell for a Cutlass of this era IMO. They just don't bring the same money as a comparable Chevelle.

I just renewed my Muscle Car Machines subscription last month for 3 years. My regular Hemmings (big book) has not mentioned anything. I did a search and there is talk about Hemmings Classic Car magazine ending. I don't have that one. Time will tell I guess but if anything is true, .
I really enjoy my magazines each month relaxing on my couch or outdoor deck. On-line is not the same and I probably would not subscribe.

Nothing will be in demand like Chevelle models, even the GTOs don't seem to fetch the same $$$. I have a feeling the owner will be keeping his '72 for quite some time.

I just received my notice today that February is the last issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines. You were right. Bummer....
