Vehicle Description
There's just something absolutely awesome about a car that has been
customized over every inch, and yet still appreciates its history.
That's why you need to take some time with this 1971 Oldsmobile
Cutlass Supreme SX Restomod. It's a show-stealing build with an
awesome body, full custom leather interior, and a full custom
suspension built by a true master. And while you get a modern
fuel-injected LS7 heart, they made sure to enlarge it so that you
have a true Olds-lover's 455ci powerhouse.
This hardtop coupe was built to a gold standard, and so it earns
its awesome Barrio Gold paint. It has the kind of gloss and shine
that lets you know the investment in the paint alone likely rivals
what many people pay for a whole restoration. That's because this
car is a professional built by Jeff Schwartz and Schwartz
Performance. So when you have a business that specializes in
upper-echelon customs, a personal project needs to be held to the
highest standards. It's a detail-oriented build with the kind of
package that you'll love taking to every car show. The black
accents look great against the gold as they also highlight some of
the coolest pieces, like the power bulges of the functioning hood
scoops and the classic rocker trim. And we love how the custom
stripes on the sides highlight the crisp body panels and the
terrific curves that make us love the Cutlass. And there's plenty
of sophistication here. You see it on classic pieces, like the
form-hugging chrome bumpers. It's also on the well-integrated
upgrades, like the custom color-matched Forgeline SP3P wheels. You
can instantly see why this car has an award-worthy level of cool,
but there's more than just flair. This is built as a Cutlass SX.
That gives it one of the most interesting stories in muscle car
history. Olds skirted some of the insurance premiums in the 1970s
with a rare run of premium SXs that also had serious 442-style
power under the hood. So as you look at the full picture on this
custom, you'll see how it holds tradition by blending luxury and
muscle into one complete package.
All the black accents of the exterior give you a preview of the
full black interior. And you can just tell they spent extra time on
this fresh and dark presentation with the terrific details, like
how the carpeting piping is done in gold to coordinate with the
exterior. The dual luxury and sporting nature of this custom SX is
instantly apparent inside the moment you spot the power bucket
seats. These are modern Recaro units that hug your body and are
finished in a supple leather. The rear seats have even been
upholstered to match. This has a nice classic look with plenty of
smooth wood-like trim. But this one also gives you all the best
amenities you want for modern driving, like cold-blowing air
conditioning, power front windows, power locks, power steering, and
the stereo is an upgraded Focal sound system that has a special
tray so you can plug in you iPod. Your right hand is instantly
attracted to the Hurst floor shifter, and your left one will love
the classic Olds performance steering wheel on a tilt column. Plus,
you have the full sporty round gauge package that includes the cool
tic toc tach.
Under the hood is more of this terrific blend of vintage and new.
It starts with the classic-style air grabber that even includes the
right classic decals. And we know you love how the hood scoops
genuinely push fresh air directly into it. But the beast its
feeding is quite a different animal. Those golden valve covers pay
tribute to Oldsmobile, but they also announce modern LS V8 power.
This fuel-injected LS7 carte motor has been specially built with a
Lunati stroker kit to make sure this has the right 455 cubic-inch
displacement that signals a true mighty Oldsmobile. This extra
clean presentation is ready to show off today, so it's ready for
the car show the moment you leave our showroom. With all the added
performance upgrades, this is reported to make about 600
horsepower. You harness it fully with a Tremec T56 six-speed manual
transmission from D&D Performance. This feeds a Winters 9-inch
floating rear end w/aluminum center section. This kind of power
needs a firm foundation, and so that's what makes this Schwartz
Performance build even more desirable. They specialize in strong
full custom frames and suspension. So when it's an owner build,
it's not only solid, but also so beautiful that you'll put a mirror
under this one at the car shows.
There are so many more details to go over on this full custom build
(everything from the magazine feature story to the Baer four-wheel
disc brakes.) So call us for all the info. But you already know
this coupe turns any garage into a showplace. So if you demand a
full custom that still gets approving nods from the best classic
car crowds, call today!
