Vehicle Description
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible
The word Cutlass is defined as a short curvy one-edged sword that
was used by sailors. The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was the best
selling car in Olds history. With its clean lines and numerous
model offerings, it is clear to see why.
For consignment, a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible in very nice
condition. Nice paint, good chrome, a rebuilt engine and
transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes and some go-fast goodies under
the hood make this rocket of an Olds ready to shoot for the
moon.
Exterior
Straight steel side panels, and trunk and hood with consistent gaps
and covered in a Burgundy Mist respray, there are very few faults
to be noted here. Certainly not perfect, but amazingly preserved
for a 21 year old paint job. A white canvas top covers the
passenger compartment and is in good condition and has been fitted
with a glass rear window. Up front a split grille is flanked by
dual headlights on either side, and a large chrome bumper below.
All is nice and tight and in good alignment with no rust or fading
on chrome. The white canvas roof sweeps down to meet the trunk lid
and bright shiny polishing trimmings surround the windshield as
well as the passenger compartment. Bringing up the curved to a
point rear, is a wrap-around bumper that has the taillights
embedded within it. On all 4 corners are Oldsmobile Super Stock II
chrome wheels with raised white letter BF Goodrich rubber.
Interior
Opening one of the doors we are greeted by very nice textured white
vinyl with embossed panels and a small amount of thin nice chrome
accents, window cranks, and black carpeting below. Slipping inside
we get behind the original wheel atop a new tilt column which
fronts a very clean and original dash. This presents to us in black
and is loaded with plenty of wood applique for the gauge cluster.
Below and to the right of the cluster is more applique for the heat
and AC, and centrally located in the dash is an AM/FM radio with
the working original 8 track player below, meanwhile, in front of
the passenger we see a glove box. All aligned perfectly. Fronting
this dash are crisp and clean white bucket seats which are tuck and
roll white vinyl with an applique topped black plastic console that
holds the ball topped shifter racing in between the pair. The back
has a matching rear bench that appears to never have been sat in
and these all float in a sea of black carpeting. A shout out to the
trunk with gray carpeted mat and full size spare tire. Sit back and
turn on the AM/FM radio and breathe in the 1970 design you are now
surrounded by!
Drivetrain
The original and rebuilt 350ci V8 sits between the fenders and has
been fitted with aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock intake
manifold and an Edelbrock 4bbl carburetor. A rebuilt TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission behind, sits in a nicely patina and chrome
finished engine bay. Handling the tire turning is a 10 bolt rear
axle weighing in with 3.08 gearing and having been fitted with a
W-27 aluminum differential cover.
Undercarriage
Nice and straight with some undercoating and a bit of surface rust
on the axle and suspension parts, but the frame is strong and
sturdy. Independent coil springs for the front and a 4 link with
coil springs is on back. Power disc brakes grace all 4 corners and
headers send spent fossils to the rear of the car through a pair of
Flowmaster mufflers.
Drive-Ability
She fired right up and ran like a champ on the test track. Smooth
shifting and good solid quick stop braking is the norm for this car
as is capable handling and wonderful acceleration. I took the
liberty of having my tenure behind the wheel in top down guise and
franky the only thing that could have made this drive perfect would
have been if the AC was in operation, our consignor states that the
system may need a charge. Otherwise a wonderful driver.
An extremely nice example from the year 1970. Cared for and garaged
and tended to as needed. A beautiful white color inside and
eye-catching burgundy for the exterior, with all surfaces in very
nice condition. A well-preserved example, nearly like a new penny,
turn the key and start enjoying 1970 all over again.
