Vehicle Description
Eye catching in Scarlet Red, this Cutlass looks good with its
muscular, yet graceful body lines. But as an intermediate sized
muscle car, it has the power and attitude for fast fun in the sun
along with plenty of room for friends or family to join with you in
your top down adventures.
The Red paint on this car was professionally applied with a
basecoat/clearcoat process only after plenty of preparation to get
the flat and straight lines of the body true, and the curved lines
of the body smooth. The results are impressive. Light dances off
the car as it moves down the street and bends over the hood and
fenders when its sitting still. The chrome bumpers and stainless on
this car are really sharp too. Up front it trims out the grill and
surrounds the quad headlights uniquely separated by the marker
lights. It highlights the upper line of the fenders and doors from
front to rear and outlines the wheel wells. The view from the rear
of the car is simple but intimidating. A wing is perched on top of
the trunk that slopes smoothly down to Oldsmobile and Cutlass in
script along with a Supreme badge, and simple rectangular
taillights are underlined by a big chrome bumper and dual exhaust
tips.
Open the door, or just take a look inside this car if the roof is
down, and you will find an interior of white upholstery with black
carpeting and dash that perfectly complements the red paint. It is
all new, completely replaced and installed as part of the
restoration of the car. The door panel has vertical pleats on the
top two thirds and black carpeting on the bottom with delicate
chrome piping highlights. The split bench seat in the front is
pleated with decorative smooth vinyl highlights and matches the
back perfectly. Rear armrests are nicely stitched and a white boot
for the power operated roof when its down gives it all a super
clean look. The dash is simple but spotless with a new dash pad and
a three spoke steering wheel sits in front of clearly visible
gauges with a newer digital radio with tape player for your
listening pleasure.
When you open the hood, you will find a matching numbers 350CI
engine that is both show and go. It's dressed out nicely and has
the muscle to get the job done. It starts from the top down with an
air filter housing painted car color with brushed metal ribs. Under
that are twin Edelbrock carburetors that feed an Offenhauser
intake. Valve covers, the engine iron and even the alternator are
painted car color. An MSD ignition system and coil assure good
spark and it even has red spark plug wires. Free flowing long tube
headers extract the spent gasses and feed out to a dual Flowmaster
exhaust system. It all works together to make great power and sweet
sounds as it's doing it. Power is sent back through a two-speed
Powerglide transmission and power front disc brakes help you haul
this car back down when you let the horses run. The rubber meets
the road through 235/60R15 BFGoodrich Radial T/As all around
mounted on steel wheels painted to match the car with chrome trim
rings.
Eye catching because it's a great looking Red on White convertible.
Hard to catch because its packing some serious muscle.
