1976 Banana 🍌 Yellow Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham Junkyard Find

- This banana yellow 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham hit the junkyard recently so I decided to go check it out. Obviously it had been repainted in this "look at me" yellow not too long ago as it was still very bright. They had also applied some rhino liner as I'm willing to bet this was a vinyl top car with some roof rust. The interior was about average for a junkyard find and it appeared that the pillow top seats may have been swapped in but I'm not sure. This being a Brougham, it did have power door locks and power windows as well as power driver seat along with a tilt steering column. I would have preferred some buckets, center console with matching steering column but no such luck. I couldn't get into the trunk but from what I could see through the back seat area, there wasn't much in there Under the hood was a small block olds with number 8 heads, and a painted black Rotchester carburetor with glitter to sprinkled over it. The one cool thing under the hood was the vintage Holley Oldsmobile valve covers. They are not reproduced anymore so they are somewhat sought-after.
That's good salvage yard etiquette right there. Don't destroy it, because somebody else might need it. 👊👍👍✌
It breaks my heart to see classics wind up in a scrap yard.
It's just an old not particularly valuable malaze era vehicle or just look at it like this hey look a fantastic parts car for your project
Exactly
The Rare Ronald McDonald Model
Should have had a red rop
Now that brings back memories! If it were a T-Top, I would have weeped a little 😛
Those cars were nice, comfortable cruisers. Some looked pretty sporty with Olds rally wheels or mags with white letter radials.
Beautiful love it i was 12years old when this car came out i love old school cars
$22 for an aluminum wheel but $25 for a valve cover? Jesus Murphy. Pick N Pull's pricing is a little forked.
Another good find! Good thing it was cloudy or you’d need some sunglasses for that one!
Man that car sounds solid should save that one..geez
Had a 76 cutlass wagon , great car
All in all, it was probably in driving condition the way it sits. The radiator must've been new or pricey as that was one of the first things to go.
The worst part of the car are the seats and the floor, but everything else is good enough for a driver for sure.
Won't win any car shows, but it'll sure stand out enough in a car show for an honorable mention and in any parking lot.
Should it have been saved? Absolutely. The yard should also have put in the effort in selling.
My dad had this car , he bought it brand new in 1976. He worked for General Motors at the time, big comfortable car.
This car exactly or a 1976 Olds Cutlass in general?
Young Man. Did this used to be A Taxi? No Ma'am. That's Yellow primer
Nice! My parents had a '77 black with black guts! I always liked the grill. I don't remember the '77 having the round a/c vents. Cool car!
Good eye. This was a 76. The only visible difference you will be able to see between the 76 and the 77 is those air vents. The round air vents were on the 73-76 models. They were round only on the passenger side with the drivers side being long rectangular shaped. In 77, they made the vents match on both sides with the long rectangular shape. I have a 76 Cutlass S with the same round vents. My friend had a 77 Cutlass S that had the rectangular vents on both sides. Parked beside each other you could not see the difference, (Both cars were black with black interior), until you looked at the air vents.
Whoa Nelley, it's yellow and that one isn't mellow.......
We got the VIN, we win: 3 for Oldsmobile, M for Cutlass Supreme Brougham, 57 for two door coupe hardtop, R for 350 V8 with four barrel, Oldsmobile produced, 6 for 1976 model year, R for Arlington, TX assembly and the rest is the production sequence. So, yes, it was a Brougham originally.
We got the tag, we can brag: ST76 for 1976 model year, 3AM57 for Cutlass Supreme Brougham two door coupe hardtop, R for Arlington, TX assembly, 74H for Red interior trim, AM6 for front split bench with armrest, three passenger, 37L for Mahogany metallic lower exterior paint, 37T for Mahogany vinyl top, 10D for the fourth week of October 1975 production.
This is considered the "Colonnade" and was basically the same across the board from 1973 to 1977, and was downsized in 1978, then "refreshed" in 1980, and then redesigned for 1981 to 1988. They sold like wildfire and people either liked them or hated them, but most liked them. They were everywhere back then and through the 1980s. By the 1990s they thinned out a bit and by now they are harder to find.
Whoa Nelley, "I'm just wild about saffron (yellow)" and this one is soon to be jello. Banana on a peel, the end is near I feel. 3-5-0 and gotta go. Brougham and soon to go home. 1976 and it hit the bricks. 3AM57 and going to Heaven. Going to be flat and that's that. Vinyl top took a big flop. That's it, time to quit. Going to be squished and all of the "A" body faithful along with the Google Man are going to be pretty pissed.
Can you decipher this tag for me please;
76 3AJ57 G 099608
11W A65 36L 36U
06C 090255
This Cutlass lives on my street and I just found out the owner is selling it.
@@stepheng3667 (ST)76 for 1976 model year, 3AJ57 for Oldsmobile (3) Cutlass Salon or Supreme (AJ) two door (57), G for Framingham, MA assembly, 11W for some sort of white interior trim, A65 for three passenger front bench seat, 36L and 36U for Red lower and upper exterior paint and 06C for the third week of June 1976 production. The rest of the numbers are processing/body sequence numbers and don't have any significance for decoding in most cases.
You'll need the VIN to determine more about it including what engine it originally had.

Cool man it’s not that bad all in all
Great parts car.
I grabbed great trim and interior parts from that same car ! Will be using it in my 1976 Ttop salon build.
👍
I remember lots of people back in the 1990s painting their 1970s and 1980s cars in this bright yellow color and blacking out all the chrome and stainless parts.
Remember the spray painted (not dyed) white dashes and other interior parts? Gads!
They were Meatheads
@@Damone7653 That's not what we called them, but that'll work!
@@jimmyfleetwood1118 I should have said Motorhead, THANKS.
First thing I want say is taxi 🚖 but for the time those were a nice looking car specially with the right rims and rake I kinda liked the Buick regal’s in the same body style
Must of had a sale on yellow that day lol 😆
😄
Wow love it hopefully someone will save it, dont see these a lot anymore, and its looking sweet for a recovery resto👊
Love ya Channel and Cars Sweet
Cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻

Was nice big body 4tb gen Cutty until wrecking yard messed up driver side door.
I can't believe the effort that someone put into this car, and then they just junked it? Why? I never would have done what they did - paint it yellow, including the bumpers, but to do all of this work, the paint, the windshield, the valve covers, etc. That was a lot of money someone spent! It needed new seat covers and a headliner. What was wrong with this thing that it got junked?
Maybe they blew the engine or trans. Maybe somebody died or moved away. Cars get junked for lots of reasons.
Maybe the owner got arrested or deported.
And the car probably got into an accident or the motor blew up or something and insurance just totaled the car because it's just a cheap used car in the eyes of insurance
@@TwoDollarGararge Insurance had nothing to do with this car ending up there
@@CR7659 okay so if that's the case more than likely the motor or trans blew up and they didn't know how to work on it or it was just a cheap car at the time and it wasn't worth replacing the motor or transmission because the car was so cheap like you know normal cars today
it could have been saved...
Agreed
Not bad build that was somebody's baby at one time I prefer the early model cutlass thou
Did my drivers ed in a 76 Cutlass. Car was a real chic magnet.
I used to have a black on black on black cutlass 77,brogham cherried out regret selling it now interior was perfect plush material…
Hi Benny, nice to hear you again with another stellar video 👍 one wheel peel and puny 7.5
When I lived in WA, state . A man who retired from Boeing had this Gran Torino station wagon banana yellow was original owner 3 on the tree shifter... 351
I was thinking about you when I saw this yesterday.
50 bucks is a deal on them valve covers.just go check them out on ebay.
I would've paid up on those valve covers. They usually clean up nicely.
That must’ve been one hell of a car to get around in….. so bright u could see it from a mile away! Lol
The damage on the drivers door looked repairable, too bad they junked it for that damage.
Yard did that
It was caused by junkyard with forklift said same thing but I it was me just get another 75or 75 Cutlass door.
No it was probably something else probably didn't know how to get it running or stay running anything is possible
The floors had alot of rust.
@@rogergoodman8665 They weren't bad at all. For Texas a lot of rust but for NY not even needing patches yet
For sure i would not leave those valve covers.
Benny and the jets that's funny how most of the rice burners are silver. Those Oldsmobile Cutlasses were nice with the bucket seats and console.
Is this bumble bee's family member Mr classic ride society? 😀 LoL!
😄👍
Nice to get a video from you thanks
I had one and loved it. Blue with white and two year but I had the center console. Wish I had it now
Looks like I can’t type today. Meant to say white leather interior with a center consult lol
76🇺🇲
NOOOOO!!! My favorite A Body Cutlass Supreme 😢😥🥺
My favorite is 66/67 followed by 78-80
@@ClassicRideSociety 1973/1977 my favorite Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Buick Regal. Is saldly viewing the conditions of this yellow 76 Cutlass.
Thats where my fathers Oldsmobile wound up
A definite rescue
ill give u $100 for those valve covers
Those were some big sexy cars
I should come get that windshield too
It's both funny & sad to see what idiots do to their cars. First time I've seen a Rhino Liner Top. Someone actually paid to have that painted yellow. Stupidity reigns!
If Ronald Mc Donald drove a car like this in the 70s commercials. That would be so funny.
It's in the right place.
That colour was popular in Australia in the mid 1970s - our '75 Ford Falcon GS was canary yellow with a big black stripe, black grille and black bonnet scoops (dummy...like the 'dual exhaust', even though it was a 250cid six.)
So. Any realcar lover in the States. Save her. In the Netherlands we would adopt her straight away.
Can't save her. That junkyard doesn't sell whole vehicles. Parts only
You can easily fetch $529K for that car as it sits
Just a little brain matter in the windshield
Kind of a shame, looks like it wasn't too awful before it went in there. I would have yanked the tilt, the carb and valve covers. Or not, $25 is too much. Here they'd be like $12 each. Guess it would depend what they'd sell for.
damn I need the heater controls out it
💔💔
I do love and appreciate your content very much tho!!
My buddy had a silver one. But I love yellow cars.
It has a rare rally pack gauge cluster
Was that 2 window switches on the passenger door?
Ex hi-way department vehicle
More like a French's mustard clown car.
It could be a Pace Car for the Oscar Mayer Weeniemobile.
She's seen better days
gots those 82-85 F body rims, it looks like Pontiac veriety woooo weeee !!!
Took my driver's test in one.
Damn that’s a classic that car should not be in the junkyard Eucharist story and make some money 💴 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🔑🔑🔑💴💴💴💴💴💴💴💴💴💴
I need parts off of this car what do I do
Pick n pull South Dallas Texas
@@ClassicRideSociety what's the address
@@tgivan8485 Jesus. There is a thing called google maps
I bought a '75 442 hood and sliced the hood vent out- want to graft it to my '76 Valiant hood for air & heat evacuation
a classic that could be bought fixed up as good as new and yet it lies right here in the junkyard what a waste
Wives of stroked out men or wives of now 💉corona'd out men, don't even think about them. It's the first thing to go!
Would take a lot of work to make this like new again.
@@googleusergp Who says it has to be like new? Why can't someone just buy it, put a little work into for cheap and ENJOY. Concours is for narcissists to fantasize about yet never achieve 🤣
@@xnotx2 Because you'll have a hooptie that's no better than it is now. It will take thousands of dollars to make this safe, reliable and roadworthy. You don't "will it run?" and put it back on the road, unless you want to be fixing it every waking hour. Concours is for the ones that have the skills to recreate history---the only way it should be done. Everything else is lipstick on a pig.
@@googleusergp I know you're just talking trash but whatever. Whatever makes you feel good when you wake up in the morning.
If it's worth saving I definitely buy that they're far and few between
That particular junkyard won't sell whole vehicles unfortunately
What an excellent example of no taste. Some yellows are very flashy in an elegant sporty manner this is genuinely an old school checker cab color. And once you see a tasteless color, applied on the bumpers as well and it doesn't match the interior you know it's just a matter of time before it ends up here. It was actually a cool car and it's day. This goes the proof that if you got some disposable cash you can destroy anything. What a sad attempt.
Someone maybe worked for the school district and had access to some yellow paint . lol.
Not at 50 bucks for them covers 20 yeah.
The car looks how i felt when i got wasted on peppermint schnapps @ 19
I’d buy it and restore it back to it’s original 1976 condition. I’d repaint it lemon yellow
Mannnnnnnn I have the same car I need all of them parts
What city and state this car is in
Where is this located at
Hi Benny... 🍌🍌🍌
Damn they do alot of damage at the yards
Them seats are oddly cooked ?
I need front and back bumpers. Let me know
man it’s like KabLoww!!!!💥💥😳😬😵💫🍌🍌😎😎
That's worth buying the body to start a project that's actually not bad starting point I've seen worse
your showing us another mans "banana hammock" this clip should not be for children hahahahaha
😄👍
You can make that into a gta Prix by changing the front clip
Who do I need to contact
Someone local who can pull parts for you as pick n pull doesn't pull parts. It's a self service yard.
8835 S Central Expressway
Dallas, TX 75241 US
Paint code 37 is that beautiful mahogany rootbeer color too bad they painted over that
Just add a fake top of a banana with metal on the hood and make the back brown 😂
I want to know who the people are that keep sending cars like this to the Junkyard! cars like this, and a lot of others you've shown, should never have been sent to the yard. there aren't enough of them left. if you have an old car you don't want. put a sign on it, post it online, or anything else. but DON'T SEND IT TO THE JUNKYARD!!! this is where cars go to die. the yard destroys half the good parts. then maybe somebody buys a few other parts off it. then it gets crushed. I wish I had the ability to start my own yard. I'd save every car possible. this has to stop. we're running out of decent cars. I don't care if they're dented or rusted. make it run and drive it. don't let them get crushed!!!
I completely agree with you. what a waste.
These cars aren't particularly valuable which is the only reason old cars are saved because they're valuable and they aren't particularly desirable I see crappy smog malaise era cars by me for $1500 to $2000 all the time because yeah they're running and driving vehicles but it's not desirable like a performance era 60s car which cost 3 kidneys also if you own the junkyard and saved every car you would go bankrupt crushing cars for scrap metal money is what keeps junkyards alive
Great cars. Sold like hot cakes. Harry infante? Sure it was a Hispanic that would paint it a loud color like that.
This is junk it looks good that should be saved from the crusher body good
Where did the term cutdog come from?
Heck if I know. I think I heard it years ago when I lived in Florida
@@ClassicRideSociety lol sounds like southern FL.
Hey, I noticed this car has Texas plates. I live in Texas and I am looking for a 68 to 76 Olds 350 engine since the ones in those years were the best. They had all the good stuff that would make up an Olds engine. Where is it located? Thank You.

How much would one of these go for ? Transmission problem known. But pretty beat down ?!
Hard to say. $1500 maybe?

Sad end for a classic
What junk yard is this car located at?
Pick n pull South Dallas Texas
Yellow over spray is all over huh
Badcock could have been restored under $20,000
I need the front and back bumper with filler and tags plate light
It was at Pick n Pull in South Dallas but they crushed it a while back
Damn
Damn.with a little work, that thing would drive out of there. Texas was what the plate looked to be saying. Too bad I'm in Pennsylvania. I'm not a fan of the color, but a car is a car. If someone fixes it, good. One more car to piss off the environmentalists. Lol
Yep this was in a pick n pull junkyard in Dallas Texas
