Value? My Father-in-laws 1971 Cutlass Supreme Convertible

[njsteve]

It's a sad time for the family as both of my in-laws are going into senior care this week due to memory issues. My father in law, Wayne was a Viet Nam Vet and is also suffering from Agent Orange effects and Parkinsons just to add to the whole dilemma .

He has a 1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible that he has owned for at least 23 years after inheriting it from his late brother. He used to cruise this baby across the state to all the semi-local cruise nights and car shows over the years. My wife went up to NY State this week and took some photos. She also has the file folder on the car so I am waiting for her to bring that back since it may have original paperwork.

The body looks beautiful to me but I have no idea where to look on an Oldsmobile engine block and trans for the VIN to see if its the original 350 in it. Any suggestions would be welcomed at this point.

We are looking for a value estimate since any money from this sale will go for their medical care. What do you guys think? You can reply here or email me at nk15268@ hotmail.com
