Vehicle Description
Time to pay attention, because this is one of the most interesting
custom builds we've seen in quite some time. On the surface, this
is a 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass F85 convertible. But beneath the skin
lies the legendary fuel-injected and turbocharged heart of a '80s
Buick Grand National.
The first-generation Cutlass is a great place to start this
modification. As GM's compact offering, it is smaller and lighter
than many others out there. But it also has great big car styling.
This Cutlass has a commanding presence with wraparound chrome
bumpers, full-length trim, and the broad grille can fully spell
O-L-D-S-M-O-B-I-L-E in wide block letters. Its charisma is only
heightened by a modern application of graphite metallic paint. This
looks terrific in the sunlight (exactly what you want on a
convertible) and it draws attention to all the well-creased
sheetmetal. Plus, this modern color goes great with this car's dark
side seen on the blacked-out alloy wheel and newer black
convertible top.
If you like the way the car looks with the top up, then you'll love
it even more when you take the power folding roof down. The black
interior gives this total package a nice coordination inside and
out. Plus, this has a nice original-style feeling on everything
from the AM radio to the insignia door panels. And originality is
quite a nice thing to have in an Olds. It means deeply bolstered
bucket seats, a grippy steering wheel, and a speedometer as long as
the horizon.
What really makes this one so special is what's under the hood. The
3.8-liter fuel-injected V6 turbo motor from a 1980s Buick Grand
National is an impressive sight. After all, these turned those
Buicks into Corvette contenders. This modern powerhouse was so
cleanly installed that is almost looks like this Olds was born two
decades later. And this thoughtful build also includes a large
aluminum radiator and the Optima red top battery mounted in the
trunk for better weight distribution. Because this brings serious
power to the streets, you'll be glad to have features like a front
disc brakes, a thick front sway bar, and Cooper Cobra GT tires.
Plus, to make sure this is an easy cruiser, too, you have power
steering and a three-speed automatic transmission.
Not only would you expect to pay a ton more for a Buick Grand
National, you now also get that power package in a classic Olds
droptop body. So this is the value-priced custom you know will be
leaving us soon. Call today!!!
