Vehicle Description
This 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass coupe has the perfect mix of
originality with just the right upgrades to be memorable in all the
best ways. After all, a classic hardtop with its believed-to-be
original V8, nearly-impossible low mileage, and correct
blue-on-blue color scheme is something that will always command
attention.
Code-26 Stratomist Blue is an awesome color to have in the 1970s,
and it still looks fantastic today. Of course, it also helps that
this factory-correct color has a modern shine that comes from
investing in a full professional respray. Plus, the REV wheels with
18/20-inch front rear stagger add plenty of shine as they also
enhance this coupe's aggression (stock wheels are also available.)
But it's not just the upgrades that you'll love, because it really
gets the fundamentals right, too. This A-body retains its unique
Oldsmobile identity thanks to chrome bumpers that fit so nicely
into the overall design. It has an impressive list of factory
features like the W25 forced-air hood with twist lock hood pins.
And even the white vinyl roof that matches the hood stripes is part
of the factory-correct package. Out back, the original rear wing is
a great option, too. You can verify all of this and more with the
included factory buildsheet. And while you're looking at it, you'll
also notice this Olds was sent from the Arlington factory directly
to a dealer that was less than an hour from our showroom today.
Since then it has only been owned by two families. That helps
explain how a cool coupe like this could have averaged less than
750 miles annually over its lifetime.
A blue exterior with a coordinating hue of blue inside is the kind
of package you'd expect to see on a modern European coupe, but it's
also the factory-correct setup for this American classic! There has
been plenty of care to make sure that this whole package looks as
authentic as the day it left the factory. You paid a premium to get
the Oldsmobile name back in the day, and so there are luxury
touches throughout. It starts with the optional button-top bucket
seat interior. The wood paneling on the center console also matches
the doors and the dashboard. The driver gets the Oldsmobile sports
wheel wrapped in a matching blue, and beyond that is a sporty round
gauge package. The radio looks factory, but is an upgrade AM/FM
unit with digital tuner. The power windows mean you can show off
the pillarless hardtop profile with just the touch of a few
buttons. Plus, you can choose to stay cool even in the summer
months with cold factory air conditioning.
Under the hood is what's believed to be the original 350 cubic-inch
V8. The engine bay is an impressive time machine that looks like
this golden block just left the factory. Those great hood scoops
feed the massive air cleaner, and below that is a four-barrel
carburetor. Oldsmobile produced their own V8s during this era, and
they are known for being both powerful and durable. It has a
distinctive growl as this more sophisticated motor exhales through
the newer stainless dual exhaust pipes. But more than just
appearance and power, this is a fantastic all-around cruiser thanks
features such as power steering, front disc brakes, and a
three-speed automatic transmission.
You're first impression might be that this is a 442, but in fact,
all the speedy upgrades are factory-correct to this very unique V8
Cutlass. So if you've been looking for classic with show-stopping
looks that always has a story to tell, hurry up and grab this Olds.
