1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

Description

This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme has the premium style and big 455 V8 under the hood to remind us of the ultra-desirable SX model. So check out the cool two-tone look, cooler A/C interior, and overall impressive style of this sleek upper-class coupe.

Oldsmobile fans know the legend of the Cutlass SX. They were built to be incognito muscle cars where the power was hidden within the premium style. So they looked like a loaded version of the more formal Holiday Hardtop version. So you didn't get a fastback or a big rear spoiler, and instead, you often had the premium features like the taut-fitting vinyl roof seen here. In fact, the only hint of muscle car the SX often showed was the 442-style rear bumper that was notched to accommodate the big dual exhaust tips. So this one has the right SX kind of style, but since it's more about SX inspiration than an SX clone, you'll also see some distinct touches. For example, the SX never had the hood racing stripes, but they look right here as they coordinate with the vinyl roof and trunk pinstriping. The beautiful glow of the Twilight Blue Metallic paint, bright chrome bumpers, clean glass, and nice lines prove there has been a solid restoration in this Olds. So the overall impression is a sporty coupe that's going to get a lot of attention from more than just Oldsmobile fans.

The ivory interior harmonizes nicely with the white exterior accents to continue the proper premium feel. This is a great driver-oriented coupe with features like the front bucket seats, an armrest center console, and a four-spoke Olds sports steering wheel. This even has the Hurst "His and Hers" dual gate shifter - a terrific icon of the muscle car era. More than just engaging the driver, this is a nice car to bring everyone along. You have good classic details, like clean upholstery, soft carpeting, plenty of wood-like trim, a time capsule-like trunk, and a full working courtesy light package. Plus, the radio has been upgraded to a retro-style AM/FM digital tune to give upgraded driving music. The factory air conditioning was even converted to R134a refrigerant for better servicing and modern operation.

Under the hood is the almighty 455 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top. This was the hallmark of the SX package where you were given a 442-level muscle in an incognito luxury package. And just like the rest of this car, the engine bay is worth showcasing thanks to fresh blue block paint that looks especially nice next to the exterior blue. More than just look good, the way this big V8 fires up and runs reaffirms the feeling of a solid investment throughout this Olds. As you look at the undercarriage photos, it's another reminder of how clean the full build is, and you'll also spot nice power car features like the boxed rear rams and rear sway bar. It really has the right classic muscle car attitude, right down to the Super Stock wheels and raised white letter tires. But more than just a big power machine, this Cutlass Supreme still serves its underlying easy cruising nature well. The three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes are a fine recipe for an all-day drive on your favorite roads.

This is the shining Olds coupe with some irresistible SX kind of appeal. It makes for a powerful and premium coupe that you know needs to be in your garage. Call today!!!
