1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Description

It's hard not to get excited about an affordable 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass coupe that been restored like a true muscle machine with great paint, cool features, A/C, and an Olds 350 V8 under the hood.

You know from the moment you lay eye on this coupe that it's no ordinary Cutlass. There are plenty of aggressive touches, but it's not trying to be a 442. Instead, this takes the iconic design elements like the flared fenders, rounded rear, and long pillarless hardtop with the fastback silhouette, and it makes into something unique. This all starts with the paint. The Metallic Orange was recently applied with a very professional hand. The result is color that is kin to GM's iconic Hugger Orange, but with plenty more luster and shine. Plus, plenty of trim has been painted black for a modern aggressive appearance. But one main element of the brightwork was not changed – the bumpers. The front one gives this coupe the classic American appearance, and few companies were better at integrating the chrome rear bumper into the sheetmetal design than Olds. Plus, the shine of these do a great job of matching the iconic Cragar SS wheels.

Inside is more of the same well-executed custom attitude. The bucket seats have been recovered in close to the Cutlass S pattern, but they are just different enough to be interesting (heck, it almost looks like they belong in a Mopar muscle machine!) The cream color of the vinyl seats nicely matches the new door panels, headliner, sail panel, and center console. When you get behind the new Olds four spoke wheel, you get a great view of the three-pod gauge setup. Just below that is a new AM/FM/CD stereo control and controls for ice-cold air conditioning running modern R-134a. These two features are essential because with full control of the power windows at your fingertips, you're going to want to roll them all down on this pillarless coupe and play your favorite music all year long.

Oldsmobile people know that a Rocket 350 cubic-inch motor is something very special. Olds manufactured their own V8 engines during this era, and they were quite different than the Chevy version. These golden blocks are beefy motors that have proven to be virtually indestructible out in the real world. This makes performance upgrades like the Holley air breather, Holley four-barrel carburetor, and Edelbrock Performer intake an even more welcomed addition. The long tube headers contribute to the power increase as well as help make a meaner rumble out of the dual exhaust. But even with all the added attitude, this Olds doesn't lose its premium driving feeling. With features like power steering, three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, there's an easy drive behind the aggressive appearance.

Here's a well-sorted custom coupe that even comes with the owner's manual. It's unique wherever it goes and also undeniably American. This whole standout package is so affordable, we know it's going fast. Call today!!!
