I would be interested but would want to see a complete casting with all parts laid out to view like other kits available on ebay. Not one covered with modelers putty etc. Caviat Emptor, let the buyer beware....

That roofline looks more like an early '80s Delta 88 than a Cutlass.

That seller offers a Delta 88 as well. I suspect one body was the basis for the other. 

[Tabbysdaddy]

Lol. That seller offers two Delta 88s.

[gui_tarzan]

Um... 

Wow.

That Ebay Cutlass looks horrible

[DoctorLarry]

He produces a lot of castings and generally starts with the same platform. He does 73-77 GM A bodies like a Buick Regal and Pontiac LeMans and bases them off the Revell 77 Monte Carlo kits. The wheelbase is wrong for the LeMans and Regal (too long), which anyone who knows the cars can see in the pictures and he generally just copies the Monte Carlo interior tub, seats, dash and chassis (again, all wrong for those cars). I can't tell the quality of the castings but he is doing a lot of cars. To me, these are not just small detail errors but pretty big ones. it appears that the same might be true for this Cutlass that he is using one platform but not too concerned about accuracy.

[DoctorLarry]

Here's another example, a 75 LeMans. The body appears to be based on the longer wheelbase Monte Carlo (the area in front of the wheel wells is way too long). The interior and chassis are exact copies of a Jo-Han 75 Cutlass. Body all wrong, interior all wrong  for this car as well as the general body shape. Caveat Emptor.

[ranma]

I don't think the Olds on ebay is the same as the OP.  After he answered what the casting included the hood, light's were all listed as seperate from the rest of the car. The ebay olds has the hood casted closed. Also note that the Op's master was most likely made from the Revell 83-85 Olds kit. The body lines of the op's is vastly different than the ebay seller has.
