Re: 72 H/O Olds
Nice find!
I am a huge olds fan. You just never seem them. I always run into everything in the GM gamily exect for 442's and HO's. Not sure why they do not get a lot of respect out there. My first car was a 1970 Cutlass SX with a 455. That thing won a lot of street races. Sorry, getting off the subject here. Awesome HO!!!!!

Re: 72 H/O Olds
I recall seeing that car at local Olds shows in the Seattle area in the 80's.
In 1990 I purchased a 72 H/O hard top out of Seattle that was also sold new there. I cannot recall the owners name of the time. Paul

Re: 72 H/O Olds
Goodyear Polysteel, if I remember correctly, Bill. I bet those are fun to find used. I'd love a picture of what looks like the original spare. There's an X code '72 HO here in Austin. No sunroof, but a very nice car. The only X code available in a Cutlass Supreme coupe. No doubt that it's an original HO. That car brings back so many memories.

Re: 72 H/O Olds
Don,
Glad to see that the car looks as good as you described!!! Plan on the H/O national event at Indy in August!! I have talked with John Kelsey about those Polysteels and the likelyhood of those being reproduced are really low! Looks like you need need some Chrome trumpets on the exhaust. Contact Supercars Unlimited Great supplier of stuff. Or contact Fusick Another great supplier. Congrats on that sweet ride!!!

Most suffered belt separation. Polysteels were used on a lot of 73 and 74 Mopar products and they ran as hard as steel. I have a set of original G60 polysteels for my H/O ragtop. I have shown the car twice with them and install them only at the showfield. Paul
